repmgr 2.0 released

What is repmgr?

repmgr is a set of open source tools that helps DBAs and System administrators manage a cluster of PostgreSQL databases.

repmgr is production quality software and used widely across the world with PostgreSQL. Many users rely on repmgr to maintain their replication setups and as such we take new releases seriously and mark the level of maturity as a guide for users. As repmgr 2.0 moves towards production we continue to regard the autofailover feature as currently in beta; we expect that to fully mature in the 2.1 release.

2ndQuadrant provides contract support for PostgreSQL that includes both repmgr and the autofailover feature.
