Thanks, I have merged it.

Attach the V105 patch set which addressed Peter, Amit and Bertrand's comments.

This version also includes the following changes:
* We found a string matching issue for query_until() and fixed it.
* Removed one un-used parameter from NeedToWaitForStandbys.
* Disable the sub before testing the pg_logical_slot_get_changes in 040.pl, this is to prevent
This test from catching the warning from another walsender.
* Ran pgindent.

Best Regards,
