2.0

This is a major release with many improvements aiming towards better robustness and ease of use.

We are starting to provide a Windows executable (#99) that can be used from terminal,
so that Windows users do not need to worry about Docker or manual compilation anymore!

• Minor changes in the YAML configuration file (#98):

  • New required entry: init_from specifies whether the initialization is done from a database (db)
    or from a GeoPackage in a Mergin Maps project (gpkg). Previously this was specified on the command
    line when running the tool.
  • Removed entries: geodiff_exe (now using geodiff from PATH) and working_dir (now using TEMP/dbsync)

• Much easier way to restart synchronization (when the data schema has changed, or when initialization failed) - simply
  add --force-init command line option to let db-sync do the cleanup (#16)

• Configuration file can be specified on command line instead of the default config.yaml (#97)

• Logging improvements

  • Make it possible to log to a file (--log-file <filename>) and configure verbosity (--log-verbosity WARNING)
  • Write output to standard error stream instead of standard output (#91)
  • Avoid printing database passwords in the outputs (#108)

• Robustness fixes and improvements

  • Check that PostGIS extension is available on init (#113)
  • Clean up database if initialization fails (#90, #95)
  • Quote schema names correctly, e.g. when using upper case characters (#54)
  • Use project ID to check that the project is the same (#76)
  • Handle push errors to avoid broken sync (#60)
  • Warn if the working dir exists but it is empty on init (#75)
  • Provide better error messages

• Infrastructure improvements:

  • Documentation improvements
  • Set up continuous integration to run tests (#8)
  • Fix versions of py-client and geodiff (#92)
  • Unified code formatting
