### v2.0.0
2013-06-19 10:39:14 +08:00
- Properly handle various PostgreSQL to JavaScript type conversions to avoid data loss:
```
PostgreSQL | pg@v2.0 JavaScript | pg@v1.0 JavaScript
--------------------------------|----------------
float4 | number (float) | string
float8 | number (float) | string
int8 | string | number (int)
numeric | string | number (float)
decimal | string | number (float)
```

If you are unhappy with these changes you can always [override the built in type parsing fairly easily ](https://github.com/brianc/node-pg-parse-float ).
