typo in release note
Hi,
The release note says "Allow continuous archive (WAL) files
to be streamed to a standby system" about SR. But no archive
files are streamed in SR. So we should get rid of the word
"archive" from that sentence? Here is the patch.
Regards,

I don't think that reads very well. Possibly we could remove
"continuous archive" as a whole, but I don't think we can remove one
word and keep the other.

I'm inclined to think that "continuous archiving" was meant. At least
that's the phrase that is used in chapter 24.

Yeah, probably - but I think what Fujii-san is concerned about is
whether streaming replication is a subset of continuous archiving -
the files never actually get "archived".

Fujii-san is absolutely right. The original wording assumed streaming
replication and hot standby were a subset of continuous archiving, but I
later realized that you do not need to enable continuous archiving to do
use them, particularly with a sufficiently large wal_keep_segments:
