Announcing Release 15 of the PostgreSQL Buildfarm client (original) (raw)

Changes

add a new script manage_alerts.pl that lets the user enable or disable alerts for an animal
This is especially useful in the case of animals that have stopped running for some reason.
check if a branch is up to date before trying to run it
This only applies if the branches_to_build setting is a keyword rather than a list of branches. It reduces the number of useless calls to git pull to almost zero.
require Perl version 5.14 or later
This should not be a problem, as it's more than 10 years old.
add --avoid-ts-collisions command line parameter
This is for specialized uses, and imposes a penalty of a few seconds per run. run_branches.pl already does this, so it's not required for normal operations.
run TAP tests for src/interfaces subdirectories
add amcheck and extension upgrade tests to cross version upgrade testing
adjust to changes in postgres code, file locations, etc.
assorted minor bug fixes and tweaks

Upgrading is highly recommended.
