Trusted Postgres Architect 23.32 release notes v23
Released: 15 May 2024
New features, enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes in Trusted Postgres Architect 23.32 include the following:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Enhancement | The M1 architecture now supports the following additional arguments to tpaexec configure: --location-names, --primary-location, --data-nodes-per-location, --witness-only-location, and --single-node-location. By combining these arguments, most common layouts can be specified without needing to edit config.yml. |
| Enhancement | TPA now installs chrony during deploy, keeping the default config upon all except on AWS where we point to Amazon Time Sync service. |
| Enhancement | TPA now supports RHEL 8 and 9 on IBM Power (PPC64le). |
| Enhancement | Added a --force option to tpaexec relink. By default, relink doesn't modify targeted files if they already exist. With --force, relink removes all existing targeted files then recreates them. |
| Enhancement | TPA now supports Debian 12 x86. |
| Enhancement | pg_failover_slots is now a recognized extension |
| Enhancement | The sql_profiler, edb_wait_states and query_advisor extensions are now automatically included for any pem-agent node. The list of default extensions for pem-agent nodes can be overridden by including a list of pemagent_extensions in config.yml. If this list is empty, no extensions will be automatically included. |
| Change | TPA can now provision Docker clusters on hosts running cgroups 2 for all systems except RHEL 7. On newer systems (RHEL 9 or Ubuntu 22.04), TPA will use cgroups 2 scopes for additional isolation between the host and the containers. |
| Change | Updated AWS AMI versions to the latest versions. |
| Bug Fix | Fixed an issue whereby deploying to Debian 10 on AWS would fail with the message The repository 'http://cdn-aws.deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports Release' does not have a Release file. The backports repository for debian 10 (buster) is no longer available on deb.debian.org but the standard AWS AMI still refers to it, so we modify /etc/apt/sources.list accordingly before attempting apt operations. |
| Bug Fix | Fixed an issue whereby deployment would fail on AWS when assign_public_ip:no was set. |
| Bug Fix | Fixed problems with various roles that caused mixed errors when trying to use custom users for barman and postgres, thereby resulting in a failed deployment. |
| Bug Fix | Fixed an issue whereby deployments after the initial one could fail with an error like Unrecognised host=... in primary_conninfo if the key ip_address was used to define the IP address. |
| Bug Fix | Fixed an error whereby tpaexec upgrade could invoke the relink script in a way which caused an error and showed an unhelpful usage message for tpaexec relink. |
| Bug Fix | Fixed an issue whereby a task to reload Postgres was skipped resulting in the restore_command override not being removed from postgresql.auto.conf |
| Bug Fix | Fixed an issue whereby TPA did not change to the source directory before attempting to compile BDR from source. |
| Bug Fix | Fixed an issue whereby TPA would require a valid 2ndQuadrant token even if one was not needed for the specified cluster. |
| Documentation | Updated the tower/AAP documentation to include instructions on creating an AAP Execution Environment. |
