All major and minor releases are briefly explained below.
For richer information consult the commit log on github with referenced pull requests.
We do not include break-fix version release in this file.
### v2.5.0
- Ability to opt-in to int8 parsing via `pg.defaults.parseInt8 = true`
### v2.4.0
- Use eval in the result set parser to increase performance
### v2.3.0
- Remove built-in support for binary Int64 parsing.
_Due to the low usage & required compiled dependency this will be pushed into a 3rd party add-on_
### v2.2.0
- [Add support for excapeLiteral and escapeIdentifier in both JavaScript and the native bindings](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/pull/396)
### v2.1.0
- Add support for SSL connections in JavaScript driver
- this means you can connect to heroku postgres from your local machine without the native bindings!
- [Add field metadata to result object](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/blob/master/test/integration/client/row-description-on-results-tests.js)
- [Add ability for rows to be returned as arrays instead of objects](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/blob/master/test/integration/client/results-as-array-tests.js)
### v2.0.0
- 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)
```
For more information see https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/pull/353
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).
### v1.3.0
- Make client_encoding configurable and optional
### v1.2.0
- return field metadata on result object: access via result.fields[i].name/dataTypeID
### v1.1.0
- built in support for `JSON` data type for PostgreSQL Server @ v9.2.0 or greater
### v1.0.0
- remove deprecated functionality
- Callback function passed to `pg.connect` now __requires__ 3 arguments
- Client#pauseDrain() / Client#resumeDrain removed
- numeric, decimal, and float data types no longer parsed into float before being returned. Will be returned from query results as `String`
### v0.15.0
- client now emits `end` when disconnected from back-end server
- if client is disconnected in the middle of a query, query receives an error
### v0.14.0
- add deprecation warnings in prep for v1.0
- fix read/write failures in native module under node v0.9.x
