WHAT’S NEW
This update is to announce a release of Failover Manager 4.7.
Failover Manager is a tool for managing Postgres database clusters, enabling high availability of primary-standby deployment architectures using Postgres physical streaming replication.
Highlights of this release:
- Failover Manager now only keeps one backup of pg_wal on standby when reconfiguring to follow a new primary. [Support tickets: #1277862, #91506]
- Fixed an issue where the Failover Manager startup script didn't work in locales that use commas for decimals; for example, "1,8". [Support ticket #89616]
- Fixed an issue where Failover Manager mistakenly used a standby's WAL receive value for replay value in the 'efm' command in Failover Manager 4.6
This information is also published in the Release Notes for Failover Manager.
