# 4.0.0 (Release candidate)
|
|
|
|
v4 is a major release with many significant changes. The most significant are included below.
|
|
|
|
* Simplified establishing a connection with a connection string.
|
|
* All potentially blocking operations now require a context.Context. The non-context aware functions have been removed.
|
|
* OIDs are hard-coded for known types. This saves the query on connection.
|
|
* Context cancellations while network activity is in progress is now always fatal. Previously, it was sometimes recoverable. This led to increased complexity in pgx itself and in application code.
|
|
* Go modules are required.
|
|
* Errors are now implemented in the Go 1.13 style.
|
|
* `Rows` and `Tx` are now interfaces.
|
|
* The connection pool as been decoupled from pgx and is now a separate, included package (github.com/jackc/pgx/v4/pgxpool).
|
|
* pgtype has been spun off to a separate package (github.com/jackc/pgtype).
|
|
* pgproto3 has been spun off to a separate package (github.com/jackc/pgproto3).
|
|
* Logical replication support has been spun off to a separate package (github.com/jackc/pglogrepl).
|
|
* Lower level PostgreSQL functionality is now implemented in a separate package (github.com/jackc/pgconn).
|
|
* Tests are now configured with environment variables.
|
|
* Conn has an automatic statement cache by default.
|
|
* Batch interface has been simplified.
|
|
* QueryArgs has been removed.
