WAL-E v0.7.0 has been released, and uploaded to PyPI for installation via: $ pip install wal-e
Please report bugs. I decided to release on March 31st (in my timezone) rather than April 1st, as planned, because I was notified that today is "World Backup Day": http://www.worldbackupday.com. A list of improvements not seen in the v0.6 series follows: * Multi-storage backend support Brian Oldfield organized refactoring WAL-E to support multiple storage abstractions, with reviews from Alex Gaynor, who was also working on a storage backend at the time. * Windows Azure Blob storage support Brian Oldfield * Openstack Swift storage support Alex Gaynor Fixes and improvements by Brian Rosner, Christopher Weibel * Tablespace support Brian Oldfield Crucial fixes contributed by Dan Milstein and Dan Robinson. * Implement "delete retain N" to save N backups Dan Robinson * Many-fold speedup of S3 deletion with multi-delete optimization Daniel Farina, and a subsequent bug fix by Christian Pedersen. * Parallel WAL Archiving, with default parallelism of "8" This makes WAL archiving backlogs drastically less common. Daniel Farina, with documentation from Joshua Gross. * Drastically optimized CPU consumption in pipelines Daniel Farina * "--terse" command line option to reduce verbosity Christophe Pettus Documentation subsequently added by Dan Robinson. * Support for GPG keys with a password Igor Katson * Support for loading credentials from AWS Instance Profiles Matthew Hooker * Support for AWS STS tokens Daniel Farina * Improved diagnostics in tar volume creation Dan Robinson * Various BSD and OSX portability enhancements Alex Gaynor, Petar Radosevic * Reduced peak memory use on databases with lots of files Daniel Farina * Change TLS cipher string to avoid slow and bad ciphers Daniel Farina, with a supporting investigation by Tom Maher and Greg Burek. I'd also like to extend special acknowledgment to Greg Stark for his fsync enhancement to backup extraction (patched in v0.6 and v0.7), and once again along with Maciek Sakrejda for isolating the pernicious bug fixed in 19c204f60ab493492ba84de0b5040d5efccc9f95. In addition, please extend your acknowledgments to Maciek Sakrejda, Bo Shi, and Greg Burek for helping isolate bugs or performing code review, and Bo Shi once again for his help in multi-region support, also seen in v0.6 and v0.7. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "wal-e" group.
