Looking at the release notes from the point of view of someone who has maybe
not been following the long-running debate on removing exclusive backups:
"Important-sounding backup thing is suddenly gone! What was that
again? Hmm, can't
find anything in the now-current Pg 15 docs [*], do I need to worry
about this!?"
[*] the backup section has removed all mention of the word "exclusive"
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-LOWLEVEL-BASE-BACKUP
versus:
"Long-deprecated thing is finally gone, ah OK whatever".
I am thinking back here to a point in my working life where the
release notes were reviewed
(by a team including non-Pg specialists) for potential issues when
considering a major
upgrade - from experience the more clarity with this kind of change
the better so
as not to unnecessarily raise alarm bells.
Ah, you are right. I thought I had "deprecated" in the text, but I now
see I did not, and we do have cases where we mention the deprecated
status in previous release notes, so the new text is:
Remove long-deprecated exclusive backup mode (David Steele, Nathan
Bossart)
That works, thanks!
A bit late to this conversation, but +1 from me.
