2ndQuadrant today announced the release of Barman version 2.9.

This release introduces native support for PostgreSQL 12, which includes
major changes in the way Point-In-Time-Recovery and Replicas are managed.
For older versions of PostgreSQL (11 and earlier), Barman still maps its
configuration and run-time options to the underlying PostgreSQL system,
using the traditional recovery.conf based method, whilst using the new GUCs
for version 12 (and future versions).

Barman v2.9 presents experimental support for JSON output of Barman
commands, facilitating integration with external monitoring and management
tools. It also includes various UI improvements and bug fixes.

Barman [https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/barman/] (Backup and
Recovery Manager) is an open source administration tool for managing backup
and disaster recovery of PostgreSQL servers. It allows you to perform
remote backups of multiple servers in business-critical environments and
helps DBAs during the recovery phase.

The most relevant changes included in this release are listed below:

- Support for PostgreSQL 12 by supporting the new way of managing recovery
and standby settings through GUC options and signal files (recovery.signal
and standby.signal)
- Add --bwlimit command line option to set bandwidth limitation for backup
and recover commands.
- Ignore WAL archive failure for check command in case the latest backup is
WAITING_FOR_WALS
- Add --target-lsn option to set recovery target Log Sequence Number for
recover command with PostgreSQL 10 or higher
- Add --spool-dir option to barman-wal-restore so that users can change the
spool directory location from the default, avoiding conflicts in case of
multiple PostgreSQL instances on the same server.
- Rename barman_xlog directory to barman_wal
- JSON output writer to export command output as JSON objects to facilitate
integration with external tools and systems. (Experimental in this release)

We strongly recommend upgrading to Barman v2.9 at the earliest opportunity
available.
