Aug 1, 2025Month: 2025-08. Focused effort on improving documentation quality for Failover Manager timeout semantics in EnterpriseDB/docs. Key accomplishment: updated documentation to clearly define that local.timeout and local.timeout.final are limits on waiting for a response, and that not receiving a response within these limits triggers subsequent failure checks. This clarifies behavior and reduces ambiguity for users configuring failover scenarios.
