Slony-I 2.0.5 Released

The Slony team is pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.5 of
the Slony-1 replication system.

The release is available at

http://www.slony.info/downloads/2.0/source/slony1-2.0.5.tar.bz2
http://www.slony.info/downloads/2.0/source/slony1-2.0.5.docs.tar.bz2

2.0.5 fixes more than 24 issues found from 2.0.4 and earlier versions,
remedying many issues found during an extensive testing period.

The following issues visibly change Slony-I behaviour, and thus warrant
extra attention from existing users:

-Bug #121 SUBSCRIBE SET is now submitted against the set origin not the
provider.
-Bug #40 Slony now requires a thread-safe libpq on all platforms.

See the release notes (RELEASE file) for more details and a complete
list of changes.

What are the pros/cons of using Slony vs the nre streaming replication in v9?

There was a good discussion of this recently on the list; the three most
relevant comments were:

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2010-09/msg00605.php
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/87hbhkcrm1.fsf@cbbrowne.afilias-int.info
http://archives.postgresql.org/message-id/4C979AEF.9030402@ca.afilias.info

P.S. As you just discovered, replying to a message sent to
pgsql-announce doesn't usually work. That one is intended only for
announcements, not the sort of chatter that happens here on pgsql-general.
