O.1. recovery.conf file merged intopostgresql.conf
PostgreSQL 11 and below used a configuration file namedrecovery.conf to manage replicas and standbys. Support for this file was removed in PostgreSQL 12. Seethe release notes for PostgreSQL 12 for details on this change.
On PostgreSQL 12 and above,archive recovery, streaming replication, and PITR are configured usingnormal server configuration parameters. These are set inpostgresql.conf or viaALTER SYSTEM like any other parameter.
The server will not start if arecovery.conf exists.
Thetrigger_file setting has been renamed topromote_trigger_file.
Thestandby_mode setting has been removed. Astandby.signal file in the data directory is used instead. SeeStandby Server Operation for details.
