pg_repack is a fork of the pg_reorg_ project, which has proven hugely
31-
successful. Unfortunately development appears to have stopped after the
32-
release of the version 1.1.7, around August 2011.

pg_repack 1.1.8 was released as a drop-in replacement for pg_reorg, addressing
35-
some of the shortcomings of the last pg_reorg version (such as support for
36-
PostgreSQL 9.2 and EXTENSION packaging) and known bugs. Shortly after the
37-
first pg_repack release, pg_reorg 1.1.8 was released too, merging all the
38-
pg_repack changes. Version 1.1.8 is the last pg_reorg release at the time of
39-
writing.

pg_repack 1.2 is a new development line based on the original pg_reorg
42-
codebase and offering new features. Its behaviour may be different from the
43-
1.1.x release so it shouldn't be considered a drop-in replacement: you are

advised to check the documentation__ before upgrading from previous versions.
