发行说明：
Added "last_backup_max_age", a new global/server option that allows administrators to set the max age of the last backup in a catalogue, making it easier to detect any issues with periodical backup execution
Improved robustness of "barman backup" by introducing two global/server options: "basebackup_retry_times" and "basebackup_retry_sleep". These options allow an administrator to specify, respectively, the number of attempts for a copy operation after a failure, and the number of seconds of wait before retrying
Improved the recovery process via rsync on an existing directory (incremental recovery), by splitting the previous rsync call into several ones - invoking checksum control only when necessary
Added support for PostgreSQL 8.3
Minor changes:
Support for comma separated list values configuration options
Improved backup durability by calling fsync() on backup and WAL files during "barman backup" and "barman cron"
Improved Nagios output for "barman check --nagios"
Display compression ratio for WALs in "barman show-backup"
Correctly handled keyboard interruption (CTRL-C) while performing barman backup
Improved error messages of failures regarding the stop of a backup
Wider coverage of unit tests
Bug fixes:
Copies "recovery.conf" on the remote server during "barman recover" (#43)
Correctly detect pre/post archive hook scripts (#41)
