The Slony-I team is proud to present the 1.0.4 release of the most advanced replication solution for the most advanced Open Source Database in the world.
The release tarball is available for download http://developer.postgresql.org/~wieck/slony1/download/slony1-1.0.4.tar.gz There are a limited number of "new features" this release largely in terms of adding in the ability to move or drop tables and sequences from replication: - SET DROP TABLE - drops a table from replication - SET DROP SEQUENCE - does the same for sequences - SET MOVE TABLE - moves a table from one replication set to another - SET MOVE SEQUENCE - moves a sequence from one replication set to another Other changes involve smoothing out the 'sharp edges' found by early adopters, notably including: - Frequently vacuuming pg_listener; growth of dead tuples could hurt performance - A cleanup process for pg_listener resolves cases where old slon processes may have terminated due to network problems, leaving backends around holding onto event notifications - Lowered lock level on sl_event, resolving issues where pg_dump would block Slony-I - Purges CONFIRM entries for nodes that don't exist anymore - Substantially increased documentation - More sophisticated administration scripts - Now uses string comparison for user defined types that do not have a suitable comparison operation - Safer log purging - Various other bug fixes and "improved cleanliness." - As of 1.0.4, the slon replication engine refuses to work against any database that does not have the stored procedures for the same version loaded or where the shared object containing the C language support functions and the log trigger does not match the version number. in a cluster must be upgraded at once.
