Version 2.5:
- Add support for PostgreSQL 11
- Add check-backup command to verify that WAL files required for
consistency of a base backup are present in the archive. Barman now
adds a new state (WAITING_FOR_WALS) after completing a base backup,
and sets it to DONE once it has verified that all WAL files from
start to the end of the backup exist. This command is included in
the regular cron maintenance job. Barman now notifies users
attempting to recover a backup that is in WAITING_FOR_WALS state.
- Allow switch-xlog --archive to work on a standby (just for the
archive part)
- Bug fixes:
- Fix decoding errors reading external commands output
- Fix documentation regarding WAL streaming and backup from
standby

Version 2.4:
- Add standard and retry hook scripts for backup deletion (pre/post)
- Add standard and retry hook scripts for recovery (pre/post)
- Add standard and retry hook scripts for WAL deletion (pre/post)
- Add --standby-mode option to barman recover to add standby_mode = on
in pre-generated recovery.conf
- Add --target-action option to barman recover, allowing users to add
shutdown, pause or promote to the pre-generated recovery.conf file
- Improve usability of point-in-time recovery with consistency checks
(e.g. recovery time is after end time of backup)
- Minor documentation improvements
- Drop support for Python 3.3
Relevant bug fixes:
- Fix remote get_file_content method, preventing
incremental recovery from happening
- Unicode issues with command
- Add --wal-method=none when pg_basebackup >= 10
Minor bug fixes:
- Stop process manager module from ovewriting lock files content
- Relax the rules for rsync output parsing
- Ignore vanished files in streaming directory
- Case insensitive slot names
- Make DataTransferFailure.from_command_error() more resilient
- Rename command() to barman_command()
- Initialise synchronous standby names list if not set
- Correct placeholders ordering
- Force datestyle to iso for replication connections
- Returns error if delete command does not remove the backup
- Fix exception when calling is_power_of_two(None)
- Downgraded sync standby names messages to debug
Version 2.3:
- Add support to PostgreSQL 10
- Follow naming changes in PostgreSQL 10:
- The switch-xlog command has been renamed to switch-wal.
- In commands output, the xlog word has been changed to WAL and
location has been changed to LSN when appropriate.
- Add the --network-compression/--no-network-compression options to
barman recover to enable or disable network compression at run-time
- Add --target-immediate option to recover command, in order to exit
recovery when a consistent state is reached (end of the backup,
available from PostgreSQL 9.4)
- Show cluster state (master or standby) with barman status command
- Documentation improvements
- Bug fixes:
- Fix high memory usage with parallel_jobs > 1
- Better handling of errors using parallel copy
- Make barman diagnose more robust with system exceptions
- Let archive-wal ignore files with .tmp extension
Version 2.2:
- Implement parallel copy for backup/recovery through the
parallel_jobs global/server option to be overridden by the --jobs or
-j runtime option for the backup and recover command. Parallel
backup is available only for the rsync copy method. By default, it
is set to 1 (for behaviour compatibility with previous versions).
- Support custom WAL size for PostgreSQL 8.4 and newer. At backup
time, Barman retrieves from PostgreSQL wal_segment_size and
wal_block_size values and computes the necessary calculations.
- Improve check command to ensure that incoming directory is empty
when archiver=off, and streaming directory is empty when
streaming_archiver=off
- Add external_configuration to backup_options so that users can
instruct Barman to ignore backup of configuration files when they
are not inside PGDATA (default for Debian/Ubuntu installations). In
this case, Barman does not display a warning anymore.
- Add --get-wal and --no-get-wal options to barman recover
- Add max_incoming_wals_queue global/server option for the check
command so that a non blocking error is returned in case incoming
WAL directories for both archiver and the streaming_archiver contain
more files than the specified value.
- Documentation improvements
- File format changes:
- The format of backup.info file has changed. For this reason a
backup taken with Barman 2.2 cannot be read by a previous
version of Barman. But, backups taken by previous versions can
be read by Barman 2.2.
- Minor bug fixes:
- Allow replication-status to work against a standby
- Close any PostgreSQL connection before starting pg_basebackup
- Safely handle paths containing special characters
- Archive .partial files after promotion of streaming source
- Recursively create directories during recovery
- Improve xlog.db locking
- Remove tablespace_map file during recover
- Reconnect to PostgreSQL if connection drops
Version 2.1:
- Add --archive and --archive-timeout options to switch-xlog command
- Preliminary support for PostgreSQL 10
- Minor additions:
- Add last archived WAL info to diagnose output
- Add start time and execution time to the output of delete
command
- Minor bug fixes:
- Return failure for get-wal command on inactive server
- Make streaming_archiver_names and streaming_backup_name options
global
- Fix rsync failures due to files truncated during transfer
- Correctly handle compressed history files
- Avoid de-referencing symlinks in pg_tblspc when preparing
recovery
- Fix comparison of last archiving failure
- Avoid failing recovery if postgresql.conf is not writable
- Fix output of replication-status command
- Exclude files from backups like pg_basebackup
- Exclude directories from other Postgres versions while copying
tablespaces
- Make retry hook script options global
Version 2.0 - 27 Sep 2016
- Support for pg_basebackup and base backups over the PostgreSQL
streaming replication protocol with backup_method=postgres
(PostgreSQL 9.1 or higher required)
- Support for physical replication slots through the slot_name
configuration option as well as the --create-slot and --drop-slot
options for the receive-wal command (PostgreSQL 9.4 or higher
required). When slot_name is specified and streaming_archiver is
enabled, receive-wal transparently integrates with pg_receivexlog,
and check makes sure that slots exist and are actively used
- Support for the new backup API introduced in PostgreSQL 9.6, which
transparently enables concurrent backups and backups from standby
servers using the standard rsync method of backup. Concurrent backup
was only possible for PostgreSQL 9.2 to 9.5 versions through the
pgespresso extension. The new backup API will make pgespresso
redundant in the future
- If properly configured, Barman can function as a synchronous standby
in terms of WAL streaming. By properly setting the
streaming_archiver_name in the synchronous_standby_names priority
list on the master, and enabling replication slot support, the
receive-wal command can now be part of a PostgreSQL synchronous
replication cluster, bringing RPO=0 (PostgreSQL 9.5.5 or
higher required)
- Introduce barman-wal-restore, a standard and robust script written
in Python that can be used as restore_command in recovery.conf files
of any standby server of a cluster. It supports remote parallel
fetching of WAL files by efficiently invoking get-wal through SSH.
Currently available as a separate project called barman-cli. The
barman-cli package is required for remote recovery when get-wal is
listed in recovery_options
- Control the maximum execution time of the check command through the
check_timeout global/server configuration option (30 seconds
by default)
- Limit the number of WAL segments that are processed by an
archive-wal run, through the archiver_batch_size and
streaming_archiver_batch_size global/server options which control
archiving of WAL segments coming from, respectively, the standard
archiver and receive-wal
- Removed locking of the XLOG database during check operations
- The show-backup command is now aware of timelines and properly
displays which timelines can be used as recovery targets for a given
base backup. Internally, Barman is now capable of parsing .history
files
- Improved the logic behind the retry mechanism when copy operations
experience problems. This involves backup (rsync and postgres) as
well as remote recovery (rsync)
- Code refactoring involving remote command and physical copy
interfaces
- Bug fixes:
- Correctly handle .history files from streaming
- Fix replication-status on PostgreSQL 9.1
- Fix replication-status when sent and write locations are not
available
- Fix misleading message on pg_receivexlog termination

- Add --peek option to get-wal command to discover existing WAL
files from the Barman's archive
- Add replication-status command for monitoring the status of any
streaming replication clients connected to the PostgreSQL
server. The --target option allows users to limit the request to
only hot standby servers or WAL streaming clients
- Add the switch-xlog command to request a switch of a WAL file to
the PostgreSQL server. Through the '--force' it issues a
CHECKPOINT beforehand
- Add streaming_archiver_name option, which sets a proper
application_name to pg_receivexlog when streaming_archiver is
enabled (only for PostgreSQL 9.3 and above)
- Check for _superuser_ privileges with PostgreSQL's standard
connections (#30)
- Check the WAL archive is never empty
- Check for 'backup_label' on the master when server is down
- Improve barman-wal-restore contrib script
- Treat the "failed backups" check as non-fatal
- Rename '-x' option for get-wal as '-z'
- Add archive_mode=always support for PostgreSQL 9.5 (#32)
- Properly close PostgreSQL connections when necessary
- Fix receive-wal for pg_receive_xlog version 9.2

Version 1.6.0 - 29 Feb 2016
- Support for streaming replication connection through the
streaming_conninfo server option
- Support for the streaming_archiver option that allows Barman to
receive WAL files through PostgreSQL's native streaming protocol.
When set to 'on', it relies on pg_receivexlog to receive WAL data,
reducing Recovery Point Objective. Currently, WAL streaming is an
additional feature (standard log archiving is still required)
- Implement the receive-wal command that, when streaming_archiver is
on, wraps pg_receivexlog for WAL streaming. Add --stop option to
stop receiving WAL files via streaming protocol. Add --reset option
to reset the streaming status and restart from the current xlog
in Postgres.
- Automatic management (startup and stop) of receive-wal command via
cron command
- Support for the path_prefix configuration option
- Introduction of the archiver option (currently fixed to on) which
enables continuous WAL archiving for a specific server, through log
shipping via PostgreSQL's archive_command
- Support for streaming_wals_directory and errors_directory options
- Management of WAL duplicates in archive-wal command and integration
with check command
- Verify if pg_receivexlog is running in check command when
streaming_archiver is enabled
- Verify if failed backups are present in check command
- Accept compressed WAL files in incoming directory
- Add support for the pigz compressor (thanks to Stefano Zacchiroli
zack@upsilon.cc)
- Implement pygzip and pybzip2 compressors (based on an initial idea
of Christoph Moench-Tegeder christoph@2ndquadrant.de)
- Creation of an implicit restore point at the end of a backup
- Current size of the PostgreSQL data files in barman status
- Permit archive_mode=always for PostgreSQL 9.5 servers (thanks to
Christoph Moench-Tegeder christoph@2ndquadrant.de)
- Complete refactoring of the code responsible for connecting to
PostgreSQL
- Improve messaging of cron command regarding sub-processes
- Native support for Python >= 3.3
- Changes of behaviour:
- Stop trashing WAL files during archive-wal (commit:e3a1d16)
- Bug fixes:
- Atomic WAL file archiving (#9 and #12)
- Propagate "-c" option to any Barman subprocess (#19)
- Fix management of backup ID during backup deletion (#22)
- Improve archive-wal robustness and log messages (#24)
- Improve error handling in case of missing parameters
Version 1.5.1 - 16 Nov 2015
- Add support for the 'archive-wal' command which performs WAL
maintenance operations on a given server
- Add support for "per-server" concurrency of the 'cron' command
- Improved management of xlog.db errors
- Add support for mixed compression types in WAL files (SF.net#61)
- Bug fixes:
- Avoid retention policy checks during the recovery
