Announcing Barman 1.5.1

2ndQuadrant is proud to announce the release of version 1.5.1 of Barman, Backup and Recovery Manager for PostgreSQL.

This minor release introduces support for ‘per-server’ concurrency of maintenance operations through the ‘cron’ command. Internally, Barman is now able to spawn a new sub-process for WAL archive operations on a specific server. For this purpose, the ‘archive-wal’ command has been added to the command interface.

Minor bugs have also been fixed.

For a complete list of changes, see the “Release Notes” section below.
