|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
pg_repack is a fork of the pg_reorg_ project, which has proven hugely
|
||||
successful. Unfortunately the last version of pg_reorg was 1.1.7, released
|
||||
in Aug. 2011, and development of the project has stagnated since then. The
|
||||
first release of pg_repack contains many key improvements which have been
|
||||
missing from pg_reorg (e.g. support for PostgreSQL 9.2, and EXTENSION
|
||||
packaging).
|
||||
successful. Unfortunately development appears to have stopped after the
|
||||
release of the version 1.1.7, around August 2011.
|
||||
|
||||
In an effort to make the transition for existing pg_reorg users simple, and
|
||||
facilitate a possible merge back with pg_reorg, we are releasing
|
||||
pg_repack 1.1.8 as a drop-in replacement for pg_reorg, addressing the
|
||||
pg_reorg 1.1.7 bugs and shortcomings. We are also developing new features
|
||||
to be released in an upcoming 1.2 version. pg_repack may be an interim
|
||||
solution, should the pg_reorg project come back to life.
|
||||
pg_repack 1.1.8 was released as a drop-in replacement for pg_reorg, addressing
|
||||
some of the shortcomings of the last pg_reorg version (such as support for
|
||||
PostgreSQL 9.2 and EXTENSION packaging) and known bugs. Shortly after the
|
||||
first pg_repack release, pg_reorg 1.1.8 was released too, merging all the
|
||||
pg_repack changes. Version 1.1.8 is the last pg_reorg release at the time of
|
||||
writing.
|
||||
|
||||
In the meantime, we thank the original pg_reorg authors for the quality code
|
||||
they have released to the community, wish them good luck, and hope to
|
||||
collaborate further in the future.
|
||||
pg_repack 1.2 is a new development line based on the original pg_reorg
|
||||
codebase and offering new features. Its behaviour may be different from the
|
||||
1.1.x release so it shouldn't be considered a drop-in replacement: you are
|
||||
advised to check the documentation__ before upgrading from previous versions.
