I’m very happy to announced that the Replication Application finally reached it first stable recommended version.
The last blocker to be recommended was to provide a mechanism to make sure an instance which send you a message really is what it’s claiming to be, and this has covered using the exchange of keys and signed messages.
Aside of this, the version also comes with the following:
- Don’t let instances which are not owners remove another instance from replication configuration
- Show the replication controller in the doc extra
- Prevent the modification of the instance URI once it started to be stored by other instances
See more details on https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Replication%20Application/#Hv1.0.0.
The plan for the next version is to provide a tool to ask other instance to help recover lost changes in pages when you restore some instance to an old backup.
