Bug Fixes

ComponentVersionDescriptionAddresses
BDR4.3.7
Fixed autopatition task scheduling.

To improve reliability, shuffle the scheduling of autopartition tasks. This way, tasks that are prone to failure won't consistently impact the success of other tasks.

41998
BDR4.3.7
Fixed a bug where bdr_init_physical stopped responding when synchronous_commit is set to remote_write/remote_apply.

bdr_init_physical disables synchronous replication on a new node by resetting synchronous_standby_names to an empty string. A warning message reminds you to set synchronous_standby_names as needed.

BDR4.3.7
Fixed a bug to handle additional replication sets on witness nodes.

The witness node now only cares about the top replication set and thus allows it to miss replications sets and not error out.

41776, 44527
BDR4.3.7
Unsupported ALTER TABLE command on materialized views is no longer replicated.

Replication no longer becomes stuck when the command is issued.
