Log message:
*: Recursive revbump from textproc/icu-68.1

Log message:
repmgr: updated to 5.2.0

repmgr 5.2.0 is a major release.

This release provides support for PostgreSQL 13, released in September 2020.

This release removes support for PostgreSQL 9.3, which was designated EOL in \ 
November 2018.

A.1.1. General improvements

Configuration: support include, include_dir and include_if_exists directives \ 
(see configuration file include directives).

repmgr standby switchover: Improve sanity check failure log output from the \ 
demotion candidate.

If database connection configuration is not consistent across all nodes, it's \ 
possible remote repmgr invocations (e.g. during switchover, from the promotion \ 
candidate to the demotion candidate) will not be able to connect to the \ 
database. This will now be explicitly reported as a database connection failure, \ 
rather than as a failure of the respective sanity check.

repmgr cluster crosscheck / repmgr cluster matrix: improve text mode output \ 
format, in particular so that node identifiers of arbitrary length are displayed \ 
correctly.

repmgr primary unregister: the --force can be provided to unregister an active \ 
primary node, provided it has no registered standby nodes.

repmgr standby clone: new option --verify-backup to run PostgreSQL's \ 
pg_verifybackup utility after cloning a standby to verify the integrity of the \ 
copied data (PostgreSQL 13 and later).

repmgr standby clone: when cloning from Barman, setting --waldir (PostgreSQL 9.6 \ 
and earlier: --xlogdir) in pg_basebackup_options will cause repmgr to create a \ 
WAL directory outside of the main data directory and symlink it from there, in \ 
the same way as would happen when cloning using pg_basebackup.

repmgr standby follow: In PostgreSQL 13 and later, a standby no longer requires \ 
a restart to follow a new upstream node.

The old behaviour (always restarting the standby to follow a new node) can be \ 
restored by setting the configuration file parameter standby_follow_restart to \ 
true.

repmgr node rejoin: enable a node to attach to a target node even the target \ 
node has a lower timeline (PostgreSQL 9.6 and later).

repmgr node rejoin: in PostgreSQL 13 and later, support pg_rewind's ability to \ 
automatically run crash recovery on a PostgreSQL instance which was not shut \ 
down cleanly.

repmgr node check: option --db-connection added to check if repmgr can connect \ 
to the database on the local node.

repmgr node check: report database connection error if the --optformat was provided.

Improve handling of pg_control read errors.

It is now possible to dump the contents of repmgr metadata tables with pg_dump.

A.1.2. repmgrd enhancements

Following additional parameters can be provided to failover_validation_command:

%n: node ID
%a: node name
%v: number of visible nodes
%u: number of shared upstream nodes
%t: total number of nodes
Configuration option always_promote (default: false) to control whether a node \ 
should be promoted if the repmgr metadata is not up-to-date on that node.

A.1.3. Bug fixes

repmgr standby clone: fix issue with cloning from Barman where the tablespace \ 
mapping file was not flushed to disk before attempting to retrieve files from \ 
Barman.

repmgr node rejoin: ensure that when verifying a standby node has attached to \ 
its upstream, the node has started streaming before confirming the success of \ 
the rejoin operation.

repmgrd: ensure primary connection is reset if same as upstream.

Log message:
repmgr: updated to 5.0.0

repmgr 5.0 is a major release.
* Configuration file parsing has been made stricter
* Some "repmgr daemon ..." commands renamed
* Some deprecated command line options removed
* Support for PostgreSQL 12 added.
* The repmgr configuration file is now parsed using flex, meaning it will be \ 
parsed in the same way as PostgreSQL parses its own configuration files.
* repmgr standby clone: checks for availability of the repmgr extension on the \ 
upstream node have been improved and error messages improved.
* When executing repmgr remotely, if the repmgr log level was explicitly \ 
provided (with -L/--log-level), that log level will be passed to the remote \ 
repmgr.
* Bug fixes

4.4.0:
repmgr client enhancements
--------------------------

repmgr standby clone: prevent a standby from being cloned from a witness server \ 
(PostgreSQL 9.6 and later only).

repmgr witness register: prevent a witness server from being registered on the \ 
replication cluster primary server (PostgreSQL 9.6 and later only).

Registering a witness on the primary node would defeat the purpose of having a \ 
witness server, which is intended to remain running even if the cluster's \ 
primary goes down.

repmgr standby follow: note that an active, reachable cluster primary is \ 
required for this command; and provide a more helpful error message if no \ 
reachable primary could be found.

repmgr: when executing repmgr standby switchover, if --siblings-follow is not \ 
supplied, list all nodes which repmgr considers to be siblings (this will \ 
include the witness server, if in use), and which will remain attached to the \ 
old primary.

repmgr: when executing repmgr standby switchover, ignore nodes which are \ 
unreachable and marked as inactive. Previously it would abort if any node was \ 
unreachable, as that means it was unable to check if repmgrd is running.

However if the node has been marked as inactive in the repmgr metadata, it's \ 
reasonable to assume the node is no longer part of the replication cluster and \ 
does not need to be checked.

repmgr standby switchover and repmgr standby promote: when executing with the \ 
--dry-run option, continue checks as far as possible even if errors are \ 
encountered.

repmgr standby promote: add --siblings-follow (similar to repmgr standby switchover).

repmgr daemon status: make output similar to that of repmgr cluster show for \ 
consistency and to make it easier to identify nodes not in the expected state.

repmgr cluster show: display each node's timeline ID (PostgreSQL 9.6 and later only).

repmgr cluster show and repmgr daemon status: show the upstream node name as \ 
reported by each individual node - this helps visualise situations where the \ 
cluster is in an unexpected state, and provide a better idea of the actual \ 
cluster state.

For example, if a cluster has divided somehow and a set of nodes are following a \ 
new primary, when running either of these commands, repmgr will now show the \ 
name of the primary those nodes are actually following, rather than the now \ 
outdated node name recorded on the other side of the "split". A \ 
warning will also be issued about the unexpected situation.

repmgr cluster show and repmgr daemon status: check if a node is attached to its \ 
advertised upstream node, and issue a warning if the node is not attached.

repmgrd enhancements
--------------------

On the primary node, repmgrd is now able to monitor standby connections and, if \ 
the number of nodes connected falls below a certain (configurable) value, \ 
execute a custom script.

This provides an additional method for fencing an isolated primary node, and/or \ 
taking other action if one or more standys become disconnected.

See section Monitoring standby disconnections on the primary node for more details.

In a failover situation, repmgrd nodes on the standbys of the failed primary are \ 
now able confirm among themselves that none can still see the primary before \ 
continuing with the failover.

The repmgr.conf option primary_visibility_consensus must be set to true to \ 
enable this functionality.

See section Primary visibility consensus for more details.

Bug fixes
---------
Ensure BDR2-specific functionality cannot be used on BDR3 and later.

The BDR support present in repmgr is for specific BDR2 use cases.

repmgr: when executing repmgr standby clone in --dry-run mode, ensure provision \ 
of the --force option does not result in an existing data directory being \ 
modified in any way.

repmgr: when executing repmgr primary register with the --force option, if \ 
another primary record exists but the associated node is unreachable (or running \ 
as a standby), set that node's record to inactive to enable the current node to \ 
be registered as a primary.

repmgr: when executing repmgr standby clone with the --upstream-conninfo, ensure \ 
that application_name is set correctly in primary_conninfo.

repmgr: when executing repmgr standby switchover, don't abort if one or more \ 
nodes are not reachable and they are marked as inactive.

repmgr: canonicalize the data directory path when parsing the configuration \ 
file, so the provided path matches the path PostgreSQL reports as its data \ 
directory. Otherwise, if e.g. the data directory is configured with a trailing \ 
slash, repmgr node check --data-directory-config will return a spurious error.

repmgrd: fix memory leak which occurs while the monitored PostgreSQL node is not \ 
running.

-----
The repmgr documentation has been converted to DocBook XML format, as currently \ 
used by the main PostgreSQL project. This means it can now be built against any \ 
PostgreSQL version from 9.5 (previously it was not possible to build the \ 
documentation against PostgreSQL 10 or later), and makes it easier to provide \ 
the documentation in other formats such as PDF.
