Bug Fixes:  
  
* Fixed the check command to prevent an error message from being logged if the backup directory does not exist. (Fixed by Cynthia Shang.)  
* Fixed error message to properly display the archive command when an invalid archive command is detected. (Reported by Jason O'Donnell.)  
* Fixed an issue where the async archiver would not be started if archive-push did not have enough space to queue a new WAL segment. This meant that the queue would never be cleared without manual intervention (such as calling archive-push directly). PostgreSQL now receives errors when there is not enough space to store new WAL segments but the async process will still be started so that space is eventually freed. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)  
* Fixed a remote timeout that occurred when a local process generated checksums (during resume or restore) but did not copy files, allowing the remote to go idle. (Reported by Jens Wilke.)  
  
Features:  
  
* Non-exclusive backups will automatically be used on PostgreSQL 9.6.  
* Added the cmd-ssh option to allow the ssh client to be specified. (Suggested by Jens Wilke.)  
* Added the log-level-stderr option to control whether console log messages are sent to stderr or stdout. By default this is set to warn which represents a change in behavior from previous versions, even though it may be more intuitive. Setting log-level-stderr=off will preserve the old behavior. (Suggested by Sascha Biberhofer.)  
* Set application_name to "pgBackRest [command]" for database connections. (Suggested by Jens Wilke.)  
* Check that archive_mode is enabled when archive-check option enabled.  
  
Refactoring:  
  
* Clarified error message when unable to acquire pgBackRest advisory lock to make it clear that it is not a PostgreSQL backup lock. (Suggested by Jens Wilke.)  
* pgBackRest version number included in command start INFO log output.  
* Process ID logged for local process start/stop INFO log output.

Bug Fixes:  
  
* Fixed an issue where local processes were not disconnecting when complete and could later timeout. (Reported by Todd Vernick.)  
* Fixed an issue where the protocol layer could timeout while waiting for WAL segments to arrive in the archive. (Reported by Todd Vernick.)  
  
Refactoring:  
  
* Cache file log output until the file is created to create a more complete log.

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.

Bug Fixes:  
  
* Fixed an issue where a tablespace link that referenced another link would not produce an error, but instead skip the tablespace entirely. (Reported by Michael Vitale.)  
* Fixed an issue where options that should not allow multiple values could be specified multiple times in pgbackrest.conf without an error being raised. (Reported by Michael Vitale.)  
* Fixed an issue where the protocol-timeout option was not automatically increased when the db-timeout option was increased. (Reported by Todd Vernick.)  
  
Features:  
  
* Backup from a standby cluster. A connection to the primary cluster is still required to start/stop the backup and copy files that are not replicated, but the vast majority of files are copied from the standby in order to reduce load on the master.  
* More flexible configuration for databases. Master and standby can both be configured on the backup server and pgBackRest will automatically determine which is the master. This means no configuration changes for backup are required after failing over from a master to standby when a separate backup server is used.  
* Exclude directories during backup that are cleaned, recreated, or zeroed by PostgreSQL at startup. These include pgsql_tmp and pg_stat_tmp. The postgresql.auto.conf.tmp file is now excluded in addition to files that were already excluded: backup_label.old, postmaster.opts, postmaster.pid, recovery.conf, recovery.done.  
* Experimental support for non-exclusive backups in PostgreSQL 9.6 beta4. Changes to the control/catalog/WAL versions in subsequent betas may break compatibility but pgBackRest will be updated with each release to keep pace.  
  
Refactoring:  
  
* Simplify protocol creation and identifying which host is local/remote.  
* Removed all OP_* function constants that were used only for debugging, not in the protocol, and replaced with __PACKAGE__.  
* Improvements in Db module: separated out connect() function, allow executeSql() calls that do not return data, and improve error handling.  
* Improve error message for links that reference links in manifest build.  
* Added hints to error message when relative paths are detected in archive-push or archive-get.  
* Improve backup log messages to indicate which host the files are being copied from.
