Greenmask 0.2.9 - 0.2.17 Releases

Database anonymization, synthetic data generation and logical dump

Greenmask Overview

Greenmask is a powerful open-source utility that is designed for logical database backup dumping, anonymization, synthetic data generation and restoration. It is stateless and does not require any changes to your database schema. It is designed to be highly customizable and backward-compatible with existing PostgreSQL utilities, fast and reliable.

Use Cases

  • Sensitive Data Sanitization: Anonymize, transform, and mask PII for staging, analytics, and testing environments, ensuring compliance and security.
  • Backup & Restore: A robust, drop-in replacement for pg_dump/pg_restore and mysqldump, handling schema and data with ease.
  • Local Development: Quickly spin up lightweight, referentially intact subsets of production databases for developers.
  • Synthetic Data Generation: Generate realistic test data from scratch to populate empty environments using the CMD transformer and custom transformations.

Changes

  • Implemented -C (--create) parameter logic for restoration #414
  • Added in-memory storage for the validate command #405
  • Fixed stack overflow issue in inherited DFS logic #409
  • Properly escape double-quote characters in SQL identifier quoting #407
  • Fixed dump status detection when metadata is missing #404
  • Revised playground documentation and added a demo #406
  • Bumped Go version and fixed CI/linting warnings #410
  • Added Cloudflare R2 compatibility guide and fixed documentation typos #401
  • Fixed ACL entries restoration when using --restore-in-order #345
  • Re-structured contributor documentation #400
  • Enhanced and documented PostgreSQL version update procedure #383
  • Fixed deterministic order in PK/FK introspection query, resolving issues with composite foreign keys in the subset system #398
  • Updated sponsor logo #399
  • Supported PostgreSQL 18 #380
  • Added postcode type to Masking transformer for masking postcodes #362
  • Added skip_not_exist parameter to Json transformer operations. This allows skipping the operation if the key does not exist by the provided path #356
  • Fixed temp file cleanup order in schema-only dump #379
  • Fixed TOC entry duplication when merging schema and data sections #378
  • Fixed RandomPerson hash generation #327
  • Implemented --quiet flag for list-dumps command #331. This makes it easy to use list-dumps in shell pipelines like: bash greenmask list-dumps -q | xargs -I {} greenmask delete {}
  • Implemented an official greenmask installation script #334. Now greenmask can be installed with a single command: bash curl -fsSL https://greenmask.io/install.sh | bash
  • Added a --description flag to the dump command, store it in metadata, and display it in list-dumps for better context #339.
  • Fixed logic in ExcludeSchema filter: now correctly returns false for excluded schemas, preventing them from being restored #343
  • Fix: ensure SEQUENCE SET and BLOB entries are restored after topologically sorted tables when using --restore-in-order #340
  • Fixed command links in index documentation #337
  • Fix: prevent panic when using latest dump id with restore command if no dumps exist in storage #346
  • Fixed a panic in the introspection function when virtual references were set on tables without primary keys #309. Virtual references on such tables are still not supported, but the function no longer panics. Related MR #315.
  • Fixed a case when greenmask hash engine ignores GREENMASK_GLOBAL_SALT #317 Related MR #318.
  • Added support for dynamic parameters in the Replace transformer, allowing values to be dynamically replaced based on column values. This feature enables spreading the same value across multiple columns. See the documentation for examples. #293
  • Updated the --verbose flag to a boolean type. It is now true if provided and false otherwise. #282
  • Fixed a bug in the RandomDate transformer where minutes were not truncated as expected. #298
  • Updated go dependencies to the latest. #304
  • Bump dependencies and upgraded go to 1.24 #285.
  • Changed Oid type in TOC archive library #286. Closes #284
  • Revised documentation related to the log level values #287. Closes #283
  • Implemented RandomCompany transformer - it's a multi-column transformer, that generates a company data with attributes CompanyName and CompanyName #273 #274.
  • Fixed a case when transformers with column containers were not printed on greenmask list-transformers command call #275.
  • Fixed RandomEmail transformer bug when an incorrect buffer size for hex-encoded symbols resulted in a \0 appearing in the string #278.
  • Fixed typo in database_subset.md docs #271
  • Revised README.md #280
