Bug Fixes:  
  
* Fixed an issue where tablespaces were copied from the master during standby backup.  
* Fixed the check command so backup info is checked remotely and not just locally. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)  
* Fixed an issue where retention-archive was not automatically being set when retention-archive-type=diff, resulting in a less aggressive than intended expiration of archive. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)  
  
Features:  
  
* Converted Perl threads to processes to improve compatibility and performance.  
* Exclude contents of $PGDATA/pg_replslot directory so that replication slots on the master do not become part of the backup.  
* The archive-start and archive-stop settings are now filled in backup.manifest even when archive-check=n.  
* Additional warnings when archive retention settings may not have the intended effect or would allow indefinite retention. (Contributed by Cynthia Shang.)  
* Experimental support for non-exclusive backups in PostgreSQL 9.6 rc1. Changes to the control/catalog/WAL versions in subsequent release candidates may break compatibility but pgBackRest will be updated with each release to keep pace.  
  
Refactoring:  
  
* Refactor of protocol minions in preparation for the new local minion.  
* Remove obsolete thread index variable from File() module.  
* Changed temporary file names to consistently use the .pgbackrest.tmp extension even if the destination file is compressed or has an appended checksum.  
* Improve ASSERT error handling, safely check eval blocks, and convert $@ to $EVAL_ERROR.

* Fixed an issue where retention-archive was not automatically being set when retention-archive-type=diff, resulting in a less aggressive than intended expiration of archive.  
* Additional warnings when archive retention settings may not have the intended effect or would allow indefinite retention.  
* Closed #235: "Retention policy question" by adding documentation for archive retention.
