-------------------------
* Fixed handle leak on win32.
* If available the new "safe" encoding functions of libpq are used.
* django and tinyerp people, please switch to psycopg 2 _without_
using a psycopg 1 compatibility layer (this release was anticipated
so that you all stop grumbling about psycopg 2 is still in beta.. :)
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 7
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Ironed out last problems with times and date (should be quite solid now.)
* Fixed problems with some arrays.
* Slightly better ZPsycopgDA (no more double connection objects in the menu
and other minor fixes.)
* ProgrammingError exceptions now have three extra attributes: .cursor
(it is possible to access the query that caused the exception using
error.cursor.query), .pgerror and .pgcode (PostgreSQL original error
text and code.)
* The build system uses pg_config when available.
* Documentation in the doc/ directory! (With many kudos to piro.)
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 6
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Support for named cursors.
* Safer parsing of time intervals.
* Better parsing of times and dates, no more locale problems.
* Should now play well with py2exe and similar tools.
* The "decimal" module is now used if available under Python 2.3.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 5
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Fixed all known bugs.
* The initial isolation level is now read from the server and
.set_isolation_level() now takes values defined in psycopg2.extensions.
* .callproc() implemented as a SELECT of the given procedure.
* Better docstrings for a few functions/methods.
* Some time-related functions like psycopg2.TimeFromTicks() now take the
local timezone into account. Also a tzinfo object (as per datetime module
specifications) can be passed to the psycopg2.Time and psycopg2.Datetime
constructors.
* All classes have been renamed to exist in the psycopg2._psycopg module,
to fix problems with automatic documentation generators like epydoc.
* NOTIFY is correctly trapped.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 4
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* psycopg module is now named psycopg2.
* No more segfaults when a UNICODE query can't be converted to the
backend encoding.
* No more segfaults on empty queries.
* psycopg2.connect() now takes an integer for the port keyword parameter.
* "python setup.py bdist_rpm" now works.
* Fixed lots of small bugs, see ChangeLog for details.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 3
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* ZPsycopgDA now works (except table browsing.)
* psycopg build again on Python 2.2.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 2
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Fixed ZPsycopgDA version check (ZPsycopgDA can now be imported in
Zope.)
* psycopg.extras.DictRow works even after a new query on the generating
cursor.
* Better setup.py for win32 (should build with MSCV or mingw.)
* Generic fixed and memory leaks plugs.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 1
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Officially in beta (i.e., no new features will be added.)
* Array support: list objects can be passed as bound variables and are
correctly returned for array columns.
* Added the psycopg.psycopg1 compatibility module (if you want instant
psycopg 1 compatibility just "from psycopg import psycopg1 as psycopg".)
* Complete support for BYTEA columns and buffer objects.
* Added error codes to error messages.
* The AsIs adapter is now exported by default (also Decimal objects are
adapted using the AsIs adapter (when str() is called on them they
already format themselves using the right precision and scale.)
* The connect() function now takes "connection_factory" instead of
"factory" as keyword argument.
* New setup.py code to build on win32 using mingw and better error
messages on missing datetime headers,
* Internal changes that allow much better user-defined type casters.
* A lot of bugfixes (binary, datetime, 64 bit arches, GIL, .executemany())
