+repmgr: Replication Manager for PostgreSQL
+==========================================
+
+`repmgr` is a suite of open-source tools to manage replication and failover
+within a cluster of PostgreSQL servers. It enhances PostgreSQL's built-in
+replication capabilities with utilities to set up standby servers, monitor
+replication, and perform administrative tasks such as failover or switchover
+operations.
+
+`repmgr 4` is a complete rewrite of the existing `repmgr` codebase.
