Barman 2.16

Version 2.16 - 17 November 2021

Features

• Add the commands barman-check-wal-archive and barman-cloud-check-wal-archive to validate if a proposed archive location is safe to use for a new PostgreSQL server.
• Allow Barman to identify WAL that's already compressed using a custom compression scheme to avoid compressing it again.
• Add last_backup_minimum_size and last_wal_maximum_age options to barman check.

Bug fixes

• Use argparse for command line parsing instead of the unmaintained argh module.
• Make timezones consistent for begin_time and end_time.
