Announce: Module puppetlabs/postgresql 2.1.0 Available

[Ken Barber]

A new release of the puppetlabs/postgresql module is now available on the Forge:

https://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/postgresql/2.1.0

Changelog
========

This release is primarily a feature release, introducing some new
helpful constructs to the module.

For starters, we've added the line `include
'postgresql_conf_extras.conf'` by default so extra parameters not
managed by the module can be added by other tooling or by Puppet
itself. This provides a useful escape-hatch for managing settings that
are not currently managed by the module today.

We've added a new defined resource for managing your tablespace, so
you can now create new tablespaces using the syntax:

postgresql::tablespace { 'dbspace':
location => '/srv/dbspace',
}

We've added a locale parameter to the `postgresql` class, to provide a
default. Also the parameter has been added to the
`postgresql::database` and `postgresql::db` defined resources for
changing the locale per database:

postgresql::db { 'mydatabase':
user => 'myuser',
password => 'mypassword',
encoding => 'UTF8',
locale => 'en_NG',
}

There is a new class for installing the necessary packages to provide
the PostgreSQL JDBC client jars:

class { 'postgresql::java': }

And we have a brand new defined resource for managing fine-grained
rule sets within your pg_hba.conf access lists:

postgresql::pg_hba { 'Open up postgresql for access from 200.1.2.0/24':
type => 'host',
database => 'app',
user => 'app',
address => '200.1.2.0/24',
auth_method => 'md5',
}

Finally, we've also added Travis-CI support and unit tests to help us
iterate faster with tests to reduce regression. The current URL for
these tests is here:
https://travis-ci.org/puppetlabs/puppet-postgresql. Instructions on
how to run the unit tests available are provided in the README for the
module.

A big thanks to all those listed below who made this feature release
possible :-).
