 2020-xx-xx v2.0:
 
+  - Only support pgBackRest **2.28** and above in order to only use its internal
+  commands. This remove Perl dependencies no-longer needed to reach repository 
+  hosts or S3 compatible object stores.
+  This also brings Azure compatible object stores support.
   - Support non-gz compressed files in the archives check (Magnus Hagander).
   - Fix the `ignore-archived-*` features when using pgBackRest internal commands 
   (Magnus Hagander).
-  - ...
+  - Improve `ignore-archived-*` features to skip WAL consistency check for backups
+  involving ignored archives.
+  - Skip unneeded boundary WAL check on TL switch (reported by sebastienruiz). 
+  - The retention service will now check that at least the backup directory exists,
+  not only trusting the pgBackRest info command output (suggested by Michael Banck).

-## Remote check using SFTP
-
-To list archived WALs using SFTP, you need to install the following module:
-
-- On RedHat-like: `perl-Net-SFTP-Foreign`
-- On Debian-like: `libnet-sftp-foreign-perl`
-
------
-
-## Amazon S3 compatibility
-
-To handle the S3 connection, two modules are needed:
-
-- On RedHat-like: `perl-Config-IniFiles` and `perl-Net-Amazon-S3`
-- On Debian-like: `libconfig-inifiles-perl` and `libnet-amazon-s3-perl`
-
-Unfortunately, the `perl-Net-Amazon-S3` (on CentOS 7) can, for the time being, 
-only be found in the Open Fusion repositories. To install it on CentOS 7, use:
-
-```
-yum install -y http://repo.openfusion.net/centos7-x86_64/\

-## Unneeded Perl dependencies with pgBackRest >= 2.28
-
-Using the `--enable-internal-pgbr-cmds` argument will use pgBackRest internal
-commands. SFTP or Amazon S3 specific Perl dependencies are then not needed
-anymore.
