pgx/CHANGELOG.md

# Unreleased

## Fixes

* Fix race with concurrent execution of stdlib.OpenFromConnPool (Terin Stock)

## Features

* .pgpass support (j7b)
* Add missing CopyFrom delegators to Tx and ConnPool (Jack Christensen)

# 2.10.0 (March 17, 2017)

## Fixes

* Oid underlying type changed to uint32, previously it was incorrectly int32 (Manni Wood)
* Explicitly close checked-in connections on ConnPool.Reset, previously they were closed by GC

## Features

* Add xid type support (Manni Wood)
* Add cid type support (Manni Wood)
* Add tid type support (Manni Wood)
* Add "char" type support (Manni Wood)
* Add NullOid type (Manni Wood)
* Add json/jsonb binary support to allow use with CopyTo
* Add named error ErrAcquireTimeout (Alexander Staubo)
* Add logical replication decoding (Kris Wehner)
* Add PgxScanner interface to allow types to simultaneously support database/sql and pgx (Jack Christensen)
* Add CopyFrom with schema support (Jack Christensen)

## Compatibility

* jsonb now defaults to binary format. This means passing a []byte to a jsonb column will no longer work.
* CopyTo is now deprecated but will continue to work.

# 2.9.0 (August 26, 2016)

## Fixes

* Fix *ConnPool.Deallocate() not deleting prepared statement from map
* Fix stdlib not logging unprepared query SQL (Krzysztof Dryś)
* Fix Rows.Values() with varchar binary format
* Concurrent ConnPool.Acquire calls with Dialer timeouts now timeout in the expected amount of time (Konstantin Dzreev)

## Features

* Add CopyTo
* Add PrepareEx
* Add basic record to []interface{} decoding
* Encode and decode between all Go and PostgreSQL integer types with bounds checking
* Decode inet/cidr to net.IP
* Encode/decode [][]byte to/from bytea[]
* Encode/decode named types whose underlying types are string, int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64

## Performance

* Substantial reduction in memory allocations

# 2.8.1 (March 24, 2016)

## Features

* Scan accepts nil argument to ignore a column

## Fixes

* Fix compilation on 32-bit architecture
* Fix Tx.status not being set on error on Commit
* Fix Listen/Unlisten with special characters

# 2.8.0 (March 18, 2016)

## Fixes

* Fix unrecognized commit failure
* Fix msgReader.rxMsg bug when msgReader already has error
* Go float64 can no longer be encoded to a PostgreSQL float4
* Fix connection corruption when query with error is closed early

## Features

This release adds multiple extension points helpful when wrapping pgx with
custom application behavior. pgx can now use custom types designed for the
standard database/sql package such as
[github.com/shopspring/decimal](https://github.com/shopspring/decimal).

* Add *Tx.Conn()
* Add *Tx.Status()
* Add *Tx.Err()
* Add *Rows.AfterClose() hook
* Add *Rows.Conn()

* Add *Conn.SetLogLevel() to allow changing log level
* Add ConnPool.Reset method
* Add support for database/sql.Scanner and database/sql/driver.Valuer interfaces
* Rows.Scan errors now include which argument caused error
* Add Encode() to allow custom Encoders to reuse internal encoding functionality
* Add Decode() to allow customer Decoders to reuse internal decoding functionality
* Add ConnPool.Prepare method
* Add ConnPool.Deallocate method
* Add Scan to uint32 and uint64 (utrack)
* Add encode and decode to []uint16, []uint32, and []uint64 (Max Musatov)

## Performance

* []byte skips encoding/decoding
