performance was improved. TRUNCATE is used to
clear out tables at subscription time, if
possible. Man pages for slon, slonik, as well as
all the slonik commands can now be generated.

the "experimental" area. A fairly large number of
minor bugs that have been reported have been
fixed.
Greatly expanded documentation. Logs optionally include date stamps. Slonik now supports define/include (similar to CPP) . Automatic generation of "Listen Paths" (formerly an error-prone manual process). slon daemons are greatly more configurable and can use config files. Log shipping allows creating offline replicas. Numerous improvements to automate maintenance. The build environment no longer requires a full PostgreSQL source tree. Numerous bugfixes.
