Announcing Barman 1.5.1

November 16, 2015

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.
