Refactored subprocess handling in order to isolate stdin/stderr/stdout channels ("command_wrappers" module)
Refactored hook scripts management
Extracted logging configuration and userid enforcement from the configuration class.
Support for hook scripts to be executed before and after a WAL file is archived, through the "'pre_archive_script'" and "'post_archive_script'" configuration options.
Implemented immediate checkpoint capability with "--immediate-checkpoint" command option and "'immediate_checkpoint'" configuration option
Implemented network compression for remote backup and recovery through the "'network_compression'" configuration option (#19)
Implemented the "'rebuild-xlogdb'" command (Closes #27 and #28)
Added deduplication of tablespaces located inside the "PGDATA" directory
Refactored remote recovery code to work the same way local recovery does, by performing remote directory preparation (assuming the remote user has the right permissions on the remote server)
"'barman backup'" now tries and create server directories before attempting to execute a full backup (#14)
Fixed bug #22: improved documentation for tablespaces relocation
Fixed bug #31: "'barman cron'" checks directory permissions for lock file
