pgFormatter 4.4 released

Grenoble - August 31th, 2020

**pgFormatter 4.4 released**

Version 4.4 of pgFormatter, a free and reliable tool used to format
SQL and PLPGSQL code, has been officially released and is publicly
available for download. A demonstration site is available online at
http://sqlformat.darold.net/

pgFormatter is the most advanced SQL and PlPgsql code formatter and
beautifier dedicated to PostgreSQL. It is provided as a CLI or a CGI
program.

This is a maintenance release to fix issues reported by users since
the last six months. As usual there is also some improvements and
new features.

  * Add command line option --extra-function to apply formatting to
    a user defined list of function like with PG internal functions.

  * Add --no-rcfile / -X option to avoid loading user configuration
    file. Thanks to Norbert Buchmueller for the patch.

  * Add -i | --inplace command line option to override an input file
    with the resulting formatted content.

  * Add new command line option -L, --no-extra-line. By default an
    empty line is added after the end of a statement when it is
    terminated by a semi-colon except in a plpgsql code block.
    If the extra empty line at end of the output is useless, you can
    remove it by adding this option to the command line.

  * Add option -C, --wrap-comment to enable comment wrapping. Used
    to wrap comments at the length defined by -w or --wrap-limit
    whatever is the part of the comment. Indent is not included in
    the character count.

  * Add Dockerfile that builds image with pgformatter.
