Added partial restore support for Postgres Pro Standard 17 and higher.

Added the --waldir option for the restore and catchup commands, and the --wal-archive-dir option for the backup command to specify a separate directory for WAL files.

Added the --no-validate-wal option to skip WAL validation during restore.

Added the --wal-tree option for the set-config and add-instance commands to store WAL files in subdirectories, optimizing disk space and preventing file system overload.

Added recovery target options for the fuse command.

Added support for the --exclude-path option in the backup command to exclude specified paths from backup.

Improved --batch-size behavior. This option now defaults to the number of threads (--threads) when not explicitly specified.

Added the PG_PROBACKUP_MAX_THREADS environment variable to limit the number of worker threads.

Added a warning with a clear message when the Postgres Pro version in use is not supported.

Fixed an issue with max_wal_senders in the PRO mode. Previously, when setting -j to 1 in the STREAM mode, the write thread received 0 worker threads and backup failed. Now, when there are insufficient max_wal_senders, an informative message is displayed recommending increasing this value in the postgresql.conf configuration file.

Resolved CFS garbage collector (GC) blocking during long backups. GC can now run in parallel with backup.

Made the backup command in the DIRECT mode skip temporary and unlogged tables.

Fixed a conflict between the --retention-redundancy and --retention-window options used together. Previously, backups that should have been kept according to the redundancy policy could be deleted by the retention window policy. Now, --retention-redundancy takes precedence.

Removed the --threads option from the retention command due to inapplicability.

Fixed an S3 issue when CURL connection errors (SSL, timeouts, certificates) were ignored, causing the failure to occur later with a non-informative message. Such errors are now detected immediately with the cause specified.

Fixed compatibility with S3 buckets that have versioning enabled.

Improved S3 compatibility by adding support for virtual-host-style URL and removing the bucket access permission check that was not supported by some providers and could cause connection errors (Amazon AWS S3, SBER Cloud, and others).

Fixed handling of empty responses from the libpq library.

Fixed an issue with data transfer via SFTP. Incomplete file writes are now correctly detected and terminate the operation with an error instead of silently continuing.

Fixed incorrect return code when a Postgres Pro connection error occurs.

Fixed hostname resolution for IP addresses in the remote restore utility.

Fixed incorrect compression value display in the show command output.

Fixed incorrect WAL size display after merge.

Fixed WAL file path handling in the archive-push and archive-get commands. Absolute paths are now supported, and relative paths are processed correctly.

Made error messages include file names when a file open error occurs.

Made operations that modify the backup catalog fail with an error if the catalog belongs to pg_probackup 2.X.

Implemented incremental backup of CFS files in the PRO and DIRECT modes.

Implemented reading of multiple pages per call in the DIRECT mode.

Eliminated WAL file duplication in backup files for the DIRECT mode with ARCHIVE, reducing backup size.

Made WAL validation skip on s390x architecture with an appropriate warning.

Made the archive-push command log its execution time upon file copy completion.

Made the state of a FUSE-mounted backup persist across restarts.

Made error messages display a limited number of files to avoid log overflow.

Made Postgres Pro NOTICE level messages display as INFO.

Improved the --compress-level option description in the help output by adding valid value ranges for each compression algorithm.

Improved the error message when a corrupted page is detected in the DIRECT mode. The file path is now displayed relative to PGDATA.

Added information about WAL file sizes (compressed and uncompressed) to the backup metadata.
