Psycopg 2.8.4
The release brings a few assorted bugfixes and adds support for Python 3.8 and PostgreSQL 12.
A more detailed changes list is
* Fixed building with Python 3.8.
* Don't swallow keyboard interrupts on connect when a password is specified in the connection string.
* Don't advance replication cursor when the message wasn't confirmed.
* Fixed inclusion of time.h on linux.
* Fixed int overflow for large values in Column.table_oid and Column.type_code.
* errorcodes map and errors classes updated to PostgreSQL 12.
* Wheel package compiled against OpenSSL 1.1.1d and PostgreSQL at least 11.4.
Psycopg 2.8.3 released
We have released Psycopg 2.8.3, which includes a slight change to the logical replication.
Choosing the right frequency to send replication feedback messages from the client to the server was previously the developer's responsibility, with too many feedback messages being a waste of bandwidth and server resources, too few slowing down WAL cleanup and possibly preventing a server graceful shutdown.
Psycopg will now make sure that feedback is only sent after a certain period of time from the previous one, so that the client can simply call send_feedback() at each message without the fear of overwhelming the server.
For completeness, the changes included in the release are:
* Added interval_status parameter to start_replication() method and other facilities to send automatic replication keepalives at periodic intervals
* Fixed namedtuples caching introduced in 2.8
2.8.2:
Fixed "there's no async cursor" error polling a connection with no cursor.
Fixed RealDictCursor when there are repeated columns.
Fixed RealDictRow modifiability.
Binary packages built with OpenSSL 1.1.1b. Should fix concurrency problems.
Psycopg 2.8 released
After about two years from the previous major release, psycopg 2.8 is finally
here!
Among the highlights, PostgreSQL errors are now mapped to Python exceptions for
a more idiomatic way to handle them. Several additions allow a better insight
of the connection status and query results.
Behind the scene, asynchronous communication and concurrency received several
improvements, and dropping support for older versions of Python gave the chance
to refactor and modernise the codebase (with the especial help from Jon
Dufresne who ruthlessly butchered our code into a streamlined pulp).

connection pools such as pgbouncer; use :sql:`BEGIN` options instead
(🎫`#503`).
- `~connection.isolation_level` is now writable and entirely separated from
`~connection.autocommit`; added `~connection.readonly`,
`~connection.deferrable` writable attributes.

Maybe a harsh solution but it leaves the program responsive
(ticket #113).
- 'register_hstore()', 'register_composite()', 'tpc_recover()' work with
RealDictConnection and Cursor (ticket #114).
- Fixed broken pool for Zope and connections re-init across ZSQL methods

has revealed several unchecked return values, possible NULL dereferences,
reference counting problems.
While here, let to register egg-info.
What's new in psycopg 2.4.4
---------------------------
- 'register_composite()' also works with the types implicitly defined
after a table row, not only with the ones created by 'CREATE TYPE'.
- Values for the isolation level symbolic constants restored to what
they were before release 2.4.2 to avoid breaking apps using the
values instead of the constants.
- Named DictCursor/RealDictCursor honour itersize (ticket #80).
- Fixed rollback on error on Zope (ticket #73).
- Raise 'DatabaseError' instead of 'Error' with empty libpq errors,
consistently with other disconnection-related errors: regression
introduced in release 2.4.1 (ticket #82).
What's new in psycopg 2.4.3
---------------------------
- connect() supports all the keyword arguments supported by the
database
- Added 'new_array_type()' function for easy creation of array
typecasters.

(and possibly other events).
- Fixed adaptation of Decimal type in sub-interpreters, such as in
certain mod_wsgi configurations (ticket #52).

in queries (ticket #81).
- Fixed typecasting of arrays containing consecutive backslashes.
- 'errorcodes' map updated to PostgreSQL 9.1.
* Added 'set_session()' method and 'autocommit' property to the
connection. Added support for read-only sessions and, for PostgreSQL
9.1, for the "repeatable read" isolation level and the "deferrable"
transaction property.
* Psycopg doesn't execute queries at connection time to find the
default isolation level.
* Fixed bug with multithread code potentially causing loss of sync
with the server communication or lock of the client.
* Don't fail import if mx.DateTime module can't be found, even if its
support was built.
* Fixed escape for negative numbers prefixed by minus operator.
* Fixed refcount issue during copy.
* Trying to execute concurrent operations on the same connection
through concurrent green thread results in an error instead of a
deadlock.
* Use own parser for bytea output, not requiring anymore the libpq 9.0 to parse
the hex format.
* Don't fail connection if the client encoding is a non-normalized variant.
* Correctly detect an empty query sent to the backend.
* Fixed a SystemError clobbering libpq errors raised without SQLSTATE.
* Fixed interaction between NamedTuple and server-side cursors.
* Allow to specify --static-libpq on setup.py command line instead of just in
'setup.cfg'.
* New features and changes:
- Added support for Python 3.1 and 3.2. The conversion has also
brought several improvements:
- Added 'b' and 't' mode to large objects: write can deal with both
bytes strings and unicode; read can return either bytes strings
or decoded unicode.
- COPY sends Unicode data to files implementing 'io.TextIOBase'.
- Improved PostgreSQL-Python encodings mapping.
- Added a few missing encodings: EUC_CN, EUC_JIS_2004, ISO885910,
ISO885916, LATIN10, SHIFT_JIS_2004.
- Dropped repeated dictionary lookups with unicode query/parameters.
- Improvements to the named cusors:
- More efficient iteration on named cursors, fetching 'itersize'
records at time from the backend.
- The named cursors name can be an invalid identifier.
- Improvements in data handling:
- Added 'register_composite()' function to cast PostgreSQL
composite types into Python tuples/namedtuples.
- Adapt types 'bytearray' (from Python 2.6), 'memoryview' (from
Python 2.7) and other objects implementing the "Revised Buffer
Protocol" to 'bytea' data type.
- The 'hstore' adapter can work even when the data type is not
installed in the 'public' namespace.
- Raise a clean exception instead of returning bad data when
receiving bytea in 'hex' format and the client libpq can't parse
them.
- Empty lists correctly roundtrip Python -> PostgreSQL -> Python.
- Other changes:
- 'cursor.description' is provided as named tuples if available.
- The build script refuses to guess values if 'pg_config' is not
found.
- Connections and cursors are weakly referenceable.
* Bug fixes
* Fixed segfault with middleware not passing DateStyle to the client
Changes 2.3.1:
