I could not find that thread.

No.

When failover happens, basically you still need to take a fresh base backup from
new master, copy it to the rest of standbys, change their primary_conninfo so
that it points to new master, and restart them. But, if you always
assign the same
IP address to the master server by using virtual IP technique, you
would not need
to change primary_conninfo.
