Version 3.5.0 - 29 March 2023

Features

  • Python 2.7 is no longer supported. The earliest Python version
    supported is now 3.6.

  • The barman, barman-cli and barman-cli-cloud packages for
    EL7 now require python 3.6 instead of python 2.7. For other
    supported platforms, Barman packages already require python
    versions 3.6 or later so packaging is unaffected.

  • Support for PostgreSQL 10 will be discontinued in future Barman
    releases; 3.5.x is the last version of Barman with support for
    PostgreSQL 10.

  • Backups and WALs uploaded to Google Cloud Storage can now be
    encrypted using a specific KMS key by using the --kms-key-name
    option with barman-cloud-backup or barman-cloud-wal-archive.

  • Backups and WALs uploaded to AWS S3 can now be encrypted using a
    specific KMS key by using the --sse-kms-key-id option with
    barman-cloud-backup or barman-cloud-wal-archive along with
    --encryption=aws:kms.

  • Two new configuration options are provided which make it possible
    to limit the rate at which parallel workers are started during
    backups with backup_method = rsync and recoveries.
    parallel_jobs_start_batch_size can be set to limit the amount of
    parallel workers which will be started in a single batch, and
    parallel_jobs_start_batch_period can be set to define the time
    in seconds over which a single batch of workers will be started.
    These can be overridden using the arguments --jobs-start-batch-size
    and --jobs-start-batch-period with the barman backup and
    barman recover commands.

  • A new option --recovery-conf-filename is added to barman recover.
    This can be used to change the file to which Barman should write the
    PostgreSQL recovery options from the default postgresql.auto.conf
    to an alternative location.

Bug fixes

  • Fix a bug which prevented barman-cloud-backup-show from
    displaying the backup metadata for backups made with
    barman backup and uploaded by barman-cloud-backup as a
    post-backup hook script.

  • Fix a bug where the PostgreSQL connection used to validate backup
    compression settings was left open until termination of the
    Barman command.

  • Fix an issue which caused rsync-concurrent backups to fail when
    running for a duration greater than idle_session_timeout.

  • Fix a bug where the backup name was not saved in the backup
    metadata if the --wait flag was used with barman backup.
