Version 2.9 - 1 Aug 2019

-   Transparently support PostgreSQL 12, by supporting the new way of
    managing recovery and standby settings through GUC options and
    signal files (recovery.signal and standby.signal)

-   Add --bwlimit command line option to set bandwidth limitation for
    backup and recover commands

-   Ignore WAL archive failure for check command in case the latest
    backup is WAITING_FOR_WALS

-   Add --target-lsn option to set recovery target Log Sequence Number
    for recover command with PostgreSQL 10 or higher

-   Add --spool-dir option to barman-wal-restore so that users can
    change the spool directory location from the default, avoiding
    conflicts in case of multiple PostgreSQL instances on the same
    server (thanks to Drazen Kacar).

-   Rename barman_xlog directory to barman_wal

-   JSON output writer to export command output as JSON objects and
    facilitate integration with external tools and systems (thanks to
    Marcin Onufry Hlybin). Experimental in this release.

Bug fixes:

-   replication-status doesn’t show streamers with no slot (GH-222)

-   When checking that a connection is alive (“SELECT 1” query),
    preserve the status of the PostgreSQL connection (GH-149). This
    fixes those cases of connections that were terminated due to
    idle-in-transaction timeout, causing concurrent backups to fail.
