v0.8

pgcopydb v0.8 (July 20, 2022)

Implement support for Change Data Capture, the ability to replay changes
happening on the source database during and after the base copy. This is
available thanks to the new --follow option and allows keeping the target
database up-to-date. The Change Data Capture for Postgres is implemented
using the Logical Decoding framework and the wal2json logical decoding
plugin.

In the course of adding that capability to pgcopydb, the command line
interface have been updated. The main command is now pgcopydb clone and
the command pgcopydb fork is an alias for it. The command pgcopydb copy-db has been kept around for backwards compatibility, and will be
removed in a later release.
