Detailed changes

• Minor PostgreSQL 11/12 tweaks in bucardo install

• Add config option log_timer_format to glog() to customize timestamp output

• Change handling of file-path config settings so that they are no longer lower-cased—the new log_timer_format config will also be case-preserved

• Fixed the relation parameter to the add customcode command to support schema-qualified relation names

• Optimized table lookup when validating syncs to a single query, rather than separate queries for each table. Also added checks to avoid purging “toast” tables and old delta tables

• Improve the unique conflict exception handler sample code and test

• Map timestamp from PostgreSQL to MongoDB datetime

• Safer system for determining Postgres version on install

• Correction that array_agg was introduced in Postgres 8.4, not 8.3
