What's new in psycopg 2.4.1
---------------------------
- 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. Issue reported by Peter Eisentraut.
- Correctly detect an empty query sent to the backend (ticket #46).
- Fixed a SystemError clobbering libpq errors raised without SQLSTATE.
Bug vivisectioned by Eric Snow.
- Allow to specify --static-libpq on setup.py command line instead of
just in 'setup.cfg'. Patch provided by Matthew Ryan (ticket #48).
What's new in psycopg 2.4
-------------------------
* 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 adaptation of None in composite types (ticket #26). Bug
report by Karsten Hilbert.
- Fixed several reference leaks in less common code paths.
- Fixed segfault when a large object is closed and its connection no
more available.
- Added missing icon to ZPsycopgDA package, not available in Zope
2.12.9 (ticket #30). Bug report and patch by Pumukel.
- Fixed conversion of negative infinity (ticket #40). Bug report and
patch by Marti Raudsepp.
What's new in psycopg 2.3.2
---------------------------
- Fixed segfault with middleware not passing DateStyle to the client
(ticket #24). Bug report and patch by Marti Raudsepp.
What's new in psycopg 2.3.1
---------------------------
- Fixed build problem on CentOS 5.5 x86_64 (ticket #23).
What's new in psycopg 2.3.0
---------------------------
psycopg 2.3 aims to expose some new features introduced in PostgreSQL 9.0.
* Main new features:
- `dict` to `hstore` adapter and `hstore` to `dict` typecaster, using both
9.0 and pre-9.0 syntax.
- Two-phase commit protocol support as per DBAPI specification.
- Support for payload in notifications received from the backed.
- `namedtuple`-returning cursor.
- Query execution cancel.
* Other features and changes:
- Dropped support for protocol 2: Psycopg 2.3 can only connect to PostgreSQL
servers with version at least 7.4.
- Don't issue a query at every connection to detect the client encoding
and to set the datestyle to ISO if it is already compatible with what
expected.
- `mogrify()` now supports unicode queries.
- Subclasses of a type that can be adapted are adapted as the superclass.
- `errorcodes` knows a couple of new codes introduced in PostgreSQL 9.0.
- Dropped deprecated Psycopg "own quoting".
- Never issue a ROLLBACK on close/GC. This behaviour was introduced as a bug
in release 2.2, but trying to send a command while being destroyed has been
considered not safe.
* Bug fixes:
- Fixed use of `PQfreemem` instead of `free` in binary typecaster.
- Fixed access to freed memory in `conn_get_isolation_level()`.
- Fixed crash during Decimal adaptation with a few 2.5.x Python versions
(ticket #7).
- Fixed notices order (ticket #9).
What's new in psycopg 2.2.2
---------------------------
* Bux fixes:
- the call to logging.basicConfig() in pool.py has been dropped: it was
messing with some projects using logging (and a library should not
initialize the logging system anyway.)
- psycopg now correctly handles time zones with seconds in the UTC offset.
The old register_tstz_w_secs() function is deprecated and will raise a
warning if called.
- Exceptions raised by the column iterator are propagated.
- Exceptions raised by executemany() interators are propagated.
What's new in psycopg 2.2.1
---------------------------
* Bux fixes:
- psycopg now builds again on MS Windows.
What's new in psycopg 2.2.0
---------------------------
This is the first release of the new 2.2 series, supporting not just one but
two different ways of executing asynchronous queries, thanks to Jan and Daniele
(with a little help from me and others, but they did 99% of the work so they
deserve their names here in the news.)
psycopg now supports both classic select() loops and "green" coroutine
libraries. It is all in the documentation, so just point your browser to
doc/html/advanced.html.
* Other new features:
- truncate() method for lobjects.
- COPY functions are now a little bit faster.
- All builtin PostgreSQL to Python typecasters are now available from the
psycopg2.extensions module.
- Notifications from the backend are now available right after the execute()
call (before client code needed to call isbusy() to ensure NOTIFY
reception.)
- Better timezone support.
- Lots of documentation updates.
* Bug fixes:
- Fixed some gc/refcounting problems.
- Fixed reference leak in NOTIFY reception.
- Fixed problem with PostgreSQL not casting string literals to the correct
types in some situations: psycopg now add an explicit cast to dates, times
and bytea representations.
- Fixed TimestampFromTicks() and TimeFromTicks() for seconds >= 59.5.
- Fixed spurious exception raised when calling C typecasters from Python
ones.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.14
----------------------------
* New features:
- Support for adapting tuples to PostgreSQL arrays is now enabled by
default and does not require importing psycopg2.extensions anymore.
- "can't adapt" error message now includes full type information.
- Thank to Daniele Varrazzo (piro) psycopg2's source package now includes
full documentation in HTML and plain text format.
* Bug fixes:
- No loss of precision when using floats anymore.
- decimal.Decimal "nan" and "infinity" correctly converted to PostgreSQL
numeric NaN values (note that PostgreSQL numeric type does not support
infinity but just NaNs.)
- psycopg2.extensions now includes Binary.
* It seems we're good citizens of the free software ecosystem and that big
big big companies and people ranting on the pgsql-hackers mailing list
we'll now not dislike us. *g* (See LICENSE file for the details.)
What's new in psycopg 2.0.13
----------------------------
* New features:
- Support for UUID arrays.
- It is now possible to build psycopg linking to a static libpq
library.
* Bug fixes:
- Fixed a deadlock related to using the same connection with
multiple cursors from different threads.
- Builds again with MSVC.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.12
----------------------------
* New features:
- The connection object now has a reset() method that can be used to
reset the connection to its default state.
* Bug fixes:
- copy_to() and copy_from() now accept a much larger number of columns.
- Fixed PostgreSQL version detection.
- Fixed ZPsycopgDA version check.
- Fixed regression in ZPsycopgDA that made it behave wrongly when
receiving serialization errors: now the query is re-issued as it
should be by propagating the correct exception to Zope.
- Writing "large" large objects should now work.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.11
----------------------------
* New features:
- DictRow and RealDictRow now use less memory. If you inherit on them
remember to set __slots__ for your new attributes or be prepare to
go back to old memory usage.
* Bug fixes:
- Fixed exeception in setup.py.
- More robust detection of PostgreSQL development versions.
- Fixed exception in RealDictCursor, introduced in 2.0.10.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.10
----------------------------
* New features:
- A specialized type-caster that can parse time zones with seconds is
now available. Note that after enabling it (see extras.py) "wrong"
time zones will be parsed without raising an exception but the
result will be rounded.
- DictCursor can be used as a named cursor.
- DictRow now implements more dict methods.
- The connection object now expose PostgreSQL server version as the
.server_version attribute and the protocol version used as
.protocol_version.
- The connection object has a .get_parameter_status() methods that
can be used to obtain useful information from the server.
* Bug fixes:
- None is now correctly always adapted to NULL.
- Two double memory free errors provoked by multithreading and
garbage collection are now fixed.
- Fixed usage of internal Python code in the notice processor; this
should fix segfaults when receiving a lot of notices in
multithreaded programs.
- Should build again on MSVC and Solaris.
- Should build with development versions of PostgreSQL (ones with
-devel version string.)
- Fixed some tests that failed even when psycopg was right.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.9
---------------------------
* New features:
- "import psycopg2.extras" to get some support for handling times
and timestamps with seconds in the time zone offset.
- DictCursors can now be used as named cursors.
* Bug fixes:
- register_type() now accept an explicit None as its second parameter.
- psycopg2 should build again on MSVC and Solaris.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.9
---------------------------
* New features:
- COPY TO/COPY FROM queries now can be of any size and psycopg will
correctly quote separators.
- float values Inf and NaN are now correctly handled and can
round-trip to the database.
- executemany() now return the numer of total INSERTed or UPDATEd
rows. Note that, as it has always been, executemany() should not
be used to execute multiple SELECT statements and while it will
execute the statements without any problem, it will return the
wrong value.
- copy_from() and copy_to() can now use quoted separators.
- "import psycopg2.extras" to get UUID support.
* Bug fixes:
- register_type() now works on connection and cursor subclasses.
- fixed a memory leak when using lobjects.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.8
---------------------------
* New features:
- The connection object now has a get_backend_pid() method that
returns the current PostgreSQL connection backend process PID.
- The PostgreSQL large object API has been exposed through the
Cursor.lobject() method.
* Bug fixes:
- Some fixes to ZPsycopgDA have been merged from the Debian package.
- A memory leak was fixed in Cursor.executemany().
- A double free was fixed in pq_complete_error(), that caused crashes
under some error conditions.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.7
---------------------------
* Improved error handling:
- All instances of psycopg2.Error subclasses now have pgerror,
pgcode and cursor attributes. They will be set to None if no
value is available.
- Exception classes are now chosen based on the SQLSTATE value from
the result. (#184)
- The commit() and rollback() methods now set the pgerror and pgcode
attributes on exceptions. (#152)
- errors from commit() and rollback() are no longer considered
fatal. (#194)
- If a disconnect is detected during execute(), an exception will be
raised at that point rather than resulting in "ProgrammingError:
no results to fetch" later on. (#186)
* Better PostgreSQL compatibility:
- If the server uses standard_conforming_strings, perform
appropriate quoting.
- BC dates are now handled if psycopg is compiled with mxDateTime
support. If using datetime, an appropriate ValueError is
raised. (#203)
* Other bug fixes:
- If multiple sub-interpreters are in use, do not share the Decimal
type between them. (#192)
- Buffer objects obtained from psycopg are now accepted by psycopg
too, without segfaulting. (#209)
- A few small changes were made to improve DB-API compatibility.
All the dbapi20 tests now pass.
* Miscellaneous:
- The PSYCOPG_DISPLAY_SIZE option is now off by default. This means
that display size will always be set to "None" in
cursor.description. Calculating the display size was expensive,
and infrequently used so this should improve performance.
- New QueryCanceledError and TransactionRollbackError exceptions
have been added to the psycopg2.extensions module. They can be
used to detect statement timeouts and deadlocks respectively.
- Cursor objects now have a "closed" attribute. (#164)
- If psycopg has been built with debug support, it is now necessary
to set the PSYCOPG_DEBUG environment variable to turn on debug
spew.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.6
---------------------------
* Better support for PostgreSQL, Python and win32:
- full support for PostgreSQL 8.2, including NULLs in arrays
- support for almost all existing PostgreSQL encodings
- full list of PostgreSQL error codes available by importing the
psycopg2.errorcodes module
- full support for Python 2.5 and 64 bit architectures
- better build support on win32 platform
* Support for per-connection type-casters (used by ZPsycopgDA too, this
fixes a long standing bug that made different connections use a random
set of date/time type-casters instead of the configured one.)
* Better management of times and dates both from Python and in Zope.
* copy_to and copy_from now take an extra "columns" parameter.
* Python tuples are now adapted to SQL sequences that can be used with
the "IN" operator by default if the psycopg2.extensions module is
imported (i.e., the SQL_IN adapter was moved from extras to extensions.)
* Fixed some small buglets and build glitches:
- removed double mutex destroy
- removed all non-constant initializers
- fixed PyObject_HEAD declarations to avoid memory corruption
on 64 bit architectures
- fixed several Python API calls to work on 64 bit architectures
- applied compatibility macros from PEP 353
- now using more than one argument format raise an error instead of
a segfault
What's new in psycopg 2.0.5.1
­----------------------------
* Now it really, really builds on MSVC and older gcc versions.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.5
­--------------------------
* Fixed various buglets such as:
- segfault when passing an empty string to Binary()
- segfault on null queries
- segfault and bad keyword naming in .executemany()
- OperationalError in connection objects was always None
* Various changes to ZPsycopgDA to make it more zope2.9-ish.
* connect() now accept both integers and strings as port parameter
What's new in psycopg 2.0.4
---------------------------
* Fixed float conversion bug introduced in 2.0.3.
What's new in psycopg 2.0.3
---------------------------
* Fixed various buglets and a memory leak (see ChangeLog for details)
What's new in psycopg 2.0.2
---------------------------
* Fixed a bug in array typecasting that sometimes made psycopg forget about
the last element in the array.
* Fixed some minor buglets in string memory allocations.
* Builds again with compilers different from gcc (#warning about PostgreSQL
version is issued only if __GCC__ is defined.)
What's new in psycopg 2.0.1
---------------------------
* ZPsycopgDA now actually loads.
What's new in psycopg 2.0
-------------------------
* Fixed handle leak on win32.
* If available the new "safe" encoding functions of libpq are used.
* django and tinyerp people, please switch to psycopg 2 _without_
using a psycopg 1 compatibility layer (this release was anticipated
so that you all stop grumbling about psycopg 2 is still in beta.. :)
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 7
--------------------------------
* Ironed out last problems with times and date (should be quite solid now.)
* Fixed problems with some arrays.
* Slightly better ZPsycopgDA (no more double connection objects in the menu
and other minor fixes.)
* ProgrammingError exceptions now have three extra attributes: .cursor
(it is possible to access the query that caused the exception using
error.cursor.query), .pgerror and .pgcode (PostgreSQL original error
text and code.)
* The build system uses pg_config when available.
* Documentation in the doc/ directory! (With many kudos to piro.)
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 6
--------------------------------
* Support for named cursors (see examples/fetch.py).
* Safer parsing of time intervals.
* Better parsing of times and dates, no more locale problems.
* Should now play well with py2exe and similar tools.
* The "decimal" module is now used if available under Python 2.3.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 5
--------------------------------
* Fixed all known bugs.
* The initial isolation level is now read from the server and
.set_isolation_level() now takes values defined in psycopg2.extensions.
* .callproc() implemented as a SELECT of the given procedure.
* Better docstrings for a few functions/methods.
* Some time-related functions like psycopg2.TimeFromTicks() now take the
local timezone into account. Also a tzinfo object (as per datetime module
specifications) can be passed to the psycopg2.Time and psycopg2.Datetime
constructors.
* All classes have been renamed to exist in the psycopg2._psycopg module,
to fix problems with automatic documentation generators like epydoc.
* NOTIFY is correctly trapped (see examples/notify.py for example code.)
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 4
--------------------------------
* psycopg module is now named psycopg2.
* No more segfaults when a UNICODE query can't be converted to the
backend encoding.
* No more segfaults on empty queries.
* psycopg2.connect() now takes an integer for the port keyword parameter.
* "python setup.py bdist_rpm" now works.
* Fixed lots of small bugs, see ChangeLog for details.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 3
--------------------------------
* ZPsycopgDA now works (except table browsing.)
* psycopg build again on Python 2.2.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 2
--------------------------------
* Fixed ZPsycopgDA version check (ZPsycopgDA can now be imported in
Zope.)
* psycopg.extras.DictRow works even after a new query on the generating
cursor.
* Better setup.py for win32 (should build with MSCV or mingw.)
* Generic fixed and memory leaks plugs.
What's new in psycopg 2.0 beta 1
--------------------------------
* Officially in beta (i.e., no new features will be added.)
* Array support: list objects can be passed as bound variables and are
correctly returned for array columns.
* Added the psycopg.psycopg1 compatibility module (if you want instant
psycopg 1 compatibility just "from psycopg import psycopg1 as psycopg".)
* Complete support for BYTEA columns and buffer objects.
* Added error codes to error messages.
* The AsIs adapter is now exported by default (also Decimal objects are
adapted using the AsIs adapter (when str() is called on them they
already format themselves using the right precision and scale.)
* The connect() function now takes "connection_factory" instead of
"factory" as keyword argument.
* New setup.py code to build on win32 using mingw and better error
messages on missing datetime headers,
* Internal changes that allow much better user-defined type casters.
* A lot of bugfixes (binary, datetime, 64 bit arches, GIL, .executemany())
What's new in psycopg 1.99.13
-----------------------------
* Added missing .executemany() method.
* Optimized type cast from PostgreSQL to Python (psycopg should be even
faster than before.)
What's new in psycopg 1.99.12
-----------------------------
* .rowcount should be ok and in sync with psycopg 1.
* Implemented the new COPY FROM/COPY TO code when connection to the
backend using libpq protocol 3 (this also removes all asprintf calls:
build on win32 works again.) A protocol 3-enabled psycopg *can*
connect to an old protocol 2 database and will detect it and use the
right code.
* getquoted() called for real by the mogrification code.
What's new in psycopg 1.99.11
-----------------------------
* 'cursor' argument in .cursor() connection method renamed to
'cursor_factory'.
* changed 'tuple_factory' cursor attribute name to 'row_factory'.
* the .cursor attribute is gone and connections and cursors are propely
gc-managed.
* fixes to the async core.
What's new in psycopg 1.99.10
-----------------------------
* The adapt() function now fully supports the adaptation protocol
described in PEP 246. Note that the adapters registry now is indexed
by (type, protocol) and not by type alone. Change your adapters
accordingly.
* More configuration options moved from setup.py to setup.cfg.
* Fixed two memory leaks: one in cursor deallocation and one in row
fetching (.fetchXXX() methods.)
What's new in psycopg 1.99.9
----------------------------
* Added simple pooling code (psycopg.pool module); see the reworked
examples/threads.py for example code.
* Added DECIMAL typecaster to convert postgresql DECIMAL and NUMERIC
types (i.e, all types with an OID of NUMERICOID.) Note that the
DECIMAL typecaster does not set scale and precision on the created
objects but uses Python defaults.
* ZPsycopgDA back in and working using the new pooling code.
* Isn't that enough? :)
What's new in psycopg 1.99.8
----------------------------
* added support for UNICODE queries.
* added UNICODE typecaster; to activate it just do:
psycopg.extensions.register_type(psycopg.extensions.UNICODE)
Note that the UNICODE typecaster override the STRING one, so it is
not activated by default.
* cursors now really support the iterator protocol.
* solved the rounding errors in time conversions.
* now cursors support .fileno() and .isready() methods, to be used in
select() calls.
* .copy_from() and .copy_in() methods are back in (still using the old
protocol, will be updated to use new one in next releasae.)
* fixed memory corruption bug reported on win32 platform.
What's new in psycopg 1.99.7
----------------------------
* added support for tuple factories in cursor objects (removed factory
argument in favor of a .tuple_factory attribute on the cursor object);
see the new module psycopg.extras for a cursor (DictCursor) that
return rows as objects that support indexing both by position and
column name.
* added support for tzinfo objects in datetime.timestamp objects: the
PostgreSQL type "timestamp with time zone" is converted to
datetime.timestamp with a FixedOffsetTimezone initialized as necessary.
What's new in psycopg 1.99.6
----------------------------
* sslmode parameter from 1.1.x
* various datetime conversion improvements.
* now psycopg should compile without mx or without native datetime
(not both, obviously.)
* included various win32/MSVC fixes (pthread.h changes, winsock2
library, include path in setup.py, etc.)
* ported interval fixes from 1.1.14/1.1.15.
* the last query executed by a cursor is now available in the
.query attribute.
* conversion of unicode strings to backend encoding now uses a table
(that still need to be filled.)
* cursors now have a .mogrify() method that return the query string
instead of executing it.
* connection objects now have a .dsn read-only attribute that holds the
connection string.
* moved psycopg C module to _psycopg and made psycopg a python module:
this allows for a neat separation of DBAPI-2.0 functionality and psycopg
extensions; the psycopg namespace will be also used to provide
python-only extensions (like the pooling code, some ZPsycopgDA support
functions and the like.)
What's new in psycopg 1.99.3
----------------------------
* added support for python 2.3 datetime types (both ways) and made datetime
the default set of typecasters when available.
* added example: dt.py.
What's new in psycopg 1.99.3
----------------------------
* initial working support for unicode bound variables: UTF-8 and latin-1
backend encodings are natively supported (and the encoding.py example even
works!)
* added .set_client_encoding() method on the connection object.
* added examples: encoding.py, binary.py, lastrowid.py.
What's new in psycopg 1.99.2
----------------------------
* better typecasting:
- DateTimeDelta used for postgresql TIME (merge from 1.1)
- BYTEA now is converted to a real buffer object, not to a string
* buffer objects are now adapted into Binary objects automatically.
* ported scroll method from 1.1 (DBAPI-2.0 extension for cursors)
* initial support for some DBAPI-2.0 extensions:
- .rownumber attribute for cursors
- .connection attribute for cursors
- .next() and .__iter__() methods to have cursors support the iterator
protocol
- all exception objects are exported to the connection object
What's new in psycopg 1.99.1
----------------------------
* implemented microprotocols to adapt arbitrary types to the interface used by
psycopg to bind variables in execute;
* moved qstring, pboolean and mxdatetime to the new adapter layout (binary is
still missing; python 2.3 datetime needs to be written).
What's new in psycopg 1.99.0
----------------------------
* reorganized the whole source tree;
* async core is in place;
* splitted QuotedString objects from mx stuff;
* dropped autotools and moved to pythonic setup.py (needs work.)
