Released: 30 Aug 2022

Enhancements, bug fixes, and other changes in EFM 4.5 include:

TypeDescription
Security FixFailover Manager has been upgraded to use PostgreSQL JDBC Driver version 42.4.1 to address security vulnerability CVE-2022-31197. Note: Failover Manager is not impacted by the vulnerability, but no longer contains the impacted version of the library.
EnhancementWhen a primary node has been isolated from the cluster and rejoins, if no other node has been promoted, Failover Manager will restart the isolated database and resume monitoring as the primary node in the cluster. [Support tickets #937960, #968619, #81770, #81894]
Bug FixFailover Manager will now properly choose a standby to promote in rare cases of LSN values being compared incorrectly. [Support ticket #83186]
Bug FixFailover Manager now handles extra whitespace in the properties file when running the efm command for cluster status.
Bug FixFailover Manager will no longer fail to promote in rare cases where the primary agent is running slowly. [Support ticket #79847]
Bug FixFailover Manager properly follows the promotable=false value of a standby that is restarted after being made promotable manually through the efm command. [Support ticket #83192]
Bug FixWhen using physical replication slots, Failover Manager will now drop and recreate slots on standbys when advancing the LSN values on them if they have an xmin value set. [Support ticket #83910]
