pitrery 1.10 has just been released.
This version corrects a bug where SSH user and host were not used by restore_xlog when this information was only in the configuration file. While some extra configuration could make it work, it prevented the restore to work out of the box in 1.9.
The CHANGELOG file in the source code contains a more complete list of changes in this version.
The release is available in the downloads page. See the upgrade page for more information.
