+ Slony-I Release approaching readiness - 1.2.10
+ http://main.slony.info/downloads/1.2
+ 2007-06-05
+ Chris Browne
+ 
+ Here are the release notes as they stand now; there are some issues
+ still outstanding with respect to <a
+ href="http://main.slony.info/documentation/logshipping.html"> log
+ shipping.</a>
+ 
+ <h2>RELEASE 1.2.10</h2>
+ 
+ <ol>
+ <li>Fixed problem with EXECUTE SCRIPT (EXECUTE ONLY ON = [node])
+ 
+   <P> The script was being executed on too many nodes...
+ 
+ <li> Added a test script for log shipping
+ 
+   <P> ... And alter it to add invocation of a DDL script.  This
+   allows testing for an event-counting problem in log shipping.
+ 
+ <li> Changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as VARATT_SIZEP has been deprecated
+ 
+ <li> in xxid.c, changes to support PostgreSQL 8.3 as tuple compression has
+   more extensive support
+ 
+ <P>  <tt>VARDATA_ANY( PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED( (PG_GETARG_DATUM(0))))</tt>
+   tends to replace
+   <tt>PG_GETARG_VARLENA(0)</tt>
+ 
+ <li> Slonik's SYNC command never recorded the new seqno in the admin
+   conninfo, with potential wacky results for WAIT FOR EVENT
+ 
+ <li> Fix rpm build problem when the system has pg_config in both under
+   /usr/local/pgsql/bin and /usr/bin
+ 
+ <li> Add init script for Red Hat / Fedora
+ 
+ <li> Fix archive log ship tracking. Slon now tracks the setsync status in
+   memory and generates a void archive with the correct old,new event
+   seqno for all events.
+ 
+ <li> EXECUTE SCRIPT wasn't setting sl_setsync, which broke WAIT FOR EVENT
+   on these events
+ 
+ <li> Ducttape test #5 (which performs DDL changes) augmented to test use
+   of WAIT FOR EVENT
+ 
+ <li> Backpatch fixes for restricted text casts in 8.3
+ 
+ <P>  create_event() calls (notably, but they're not alone) need to be
+   augmented to cast data types expressly.
+ 
+ <li> PostgreSQL 8.3 is now a supported version for 1.2.10
+ 
+ <P>  The hope/intent is that 1.2.10 will be the last version of Slony-I
+   in the "1.x" series, and will permit upgrades to PostgreSQL 8.3.
+   The subsequent Slony-I 2.x series will require PostgreSQL 8.3.
+ 
+ <li> Discovered and documented a problem with UPDATE FUNCTIONS on
+ versions 8.1.[0-3].  Unfortunately, this means that these versions of
+ PostgreSQL essentially do not support Slony-I upgrades.
+ 
+ </ol>

- 
- Here are the release notes as they stand now; with Jan's commits over
- the last day, it looks like we have everything committed to resolve
- issues with EXECUTE SCRIPT and log shipping.
- 
- <P> I'll be doing some testing on my "platforms of interest" over the next
- couple of days; if others can run tests they care about, that would be
- a great thing.
- 
- <P> I plan to tag and release 1.2.10 by the end of the week; the hope is
- that this will be the final version in the 1.2 branch, as work now
- progresses on an 8.3-oriented "2.0" branch on HEAD.
