Re: pgAgent v4.0.0 Released

This is awesome. Always have interests to use pgAgent; however, the official documentation about installing is obscure and stop me from getting into it... I honestly cannot get any clue about steps I should do from this https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/3.x/pgagent.html link. 

Maybe installing pgagent is easy to a lot of people. There are still a lot of people asking questions of pgagent installation in Stackoverflow. 

Can any one contribute a step by step tutorial? I will truly appreciate it.

The pgAdmin Development Team are pleased to announce the release of pgAgent v4.0.0. 

pgAgent is a job scheduler for PostgreSQL; for more information please see the documentation included as part of the pgAdmin documentation at https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/3.x/pgagent.html.

Download (source): https://www.pgadmin.org/download/pgagent-source-code/

We expect DEB and RPM packages to be available from the PostgreSQL APT/YUM repositories in due course, as well as an updated installer from EnterpriseDB available through StackBuilder.

Notable changes in this release include:

- Remove the dependency on wxWidgets. pgAgent now uses Boost for thread management and synchronisation [Neel Patel]

- Refactor connection parsing logic to fix issues with and improve handling of connection strings [Thomas Krennwallner]

- Handle 2 digit server version numbers [Ashesh Vashi]

- Fix handling of the "succeeded" flag on job steps which could prevent failure of steps causing the following steps to fail [Sanket Mehta]
