pg_repack is a fork of the pg_reorg_ project, which has proven hugely
successful. Unfortunately development appears to have stopped after the
release of the version 1.1.7, around August 2011.
successful. Unfortunately new feature development on pg_reorg_ has slowed
or stopped since late 2011.
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.
pg_repack was initially released as a drop-in replacement for pg_reorg,

support for PostgreSQL 9.2 and EXTENSION packaging) and known bugs.
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.
pg_repack 1.2 introduces further new features (parallel index builds,
ability to rebuild only indexes) and bugfixes. In some cases 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.
