Announcing the Release of Barman v2.3

Oxford, United Kingdom – September 5, 2017
2ndQuadrant is proud to announce the release of Barman version 2.3, a Backup and Recovery Manager for PostgreSQL.
This minor release introduces support for PostgreSQL 10. Following the change in naming conventions brought by PostgreSQL 10, Barman now uses the terms “WAL”, “location” instead of, respectively, “xlog” and “lsn”.

This release also adds a few additional options to the barman recover command, in order to enable or disable network compression at run-time (--network-compression and --no-network-compression) and to instruct PostgreSQL to exit recovery as soon as a consistent state is reached (--target-immediate, available from PostgreSQL 9.4).

Barman 2.3 fixes an important bug for memory consumption of parallel copy introduced in 2.2, as well as some minor bugs.
With this release Barman has dropped the support for RHEL/CentOS 5 and Ubuntu Precise (12.04) which have both reached the official end of life.

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