repmgr 4.0.3 contains some bug fixes and and a number of usability enhancements related to logging/diagnostics, event notifications and pre-action checks.
This release can be installed as a simple package upgrade from repmgr 4.0 ~ 4.0.2; repmgrd (if running) should be restarted.
It is not possible to perform a switchover where the demotion candidate is running repmgr 4.0.2 or lower; all nodes should be upgraded to 4.0.3. This is due to additional checks introduced in 4.0.3 which require the presence of 4.0.3 or later versions on all nodes.
improve repmgr standby switchover
behaviour when pg_ctl is used to control the server and logging output is
not explicitly redirected
improve repmgr standby switchover
log messages and provide new exit code ERR_SWITCHOVER_INCOMPLETE when old primary could
not be shut down cleanly
add check to verify the demotion candidate can make a replication connection to the promotion candidate before executing a switchover (GitHub #370)
add check for sufficient walsenders and replication slots on the promotion candidate before executing
repmgr standby switchover
(GitHub #371)
add --dry-run mode to repmgr standby follow
(GitHub #368)

repmgr standby register and
repmgr standby follow event notifications (GitHub #375)

if any node is unreachable, output the error message encountered in the list of warnings
(GitHub #369)
ensure an inactive data directory can be overwritten when cloning a standby (GitHub #366)
