Hello world!
This time we decided to bump the number to 1.0 to switch to a common versioning
pattern.
WAL-G 1.0 is compatible with its versions v0.2.0+.
Also, WAL-G 1.0 can restore WAL-E backups and WALs.
Good news for non-PostgreSQL databases: WAL-G is now production-ready for MS
SQL, MySQL databases, meanwhile the API can be changed in future releases.
MongoDB and Redis support is in the beta stage.
Some interesting features/fixes:
#780 PostgreSQL remote backups
#905 Improve compatibility with PostgreSQL 13, introduced WALG_PREFETCH_DIR
option
#824 New option was added to wal-verify, now it requires an argument
timeline|integrity
#903 It's now not allowed to create non-permanent delta backups from
permanent backups
#842 Fix compatibility with S3 implementations that do not support

#950 It's now again possible to tell WAL-G to rename .ready files to .done

Huge amount of bug fixes, tests, and improvements for
Redis/MongoDB/SQLServer/etc
