Hi *,

some time ago I wanted to mark the next psycopg 2 release, that is, this
release, something like "release candidate 1". During the last 2 months
so many changes went in that I think that something lik e"beta 5" better
reflects the status of this release. Anyway, the API is now frozen and
apart from a couple of bugs I can't reproduce (#41 and #54) only
ZPsycopgDA needs a little more work. With a little bit of luck "release
candidate 1" will be the next one.

An excerpt from the NEWS file is attached to the end of this email but
let me anticipate that date/times with timezones should work as expected
and the NOTIFY works again.

The package is avilable, as always, from:

    http://initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/psycopg-2.0b5.tar.gz

Have fun,
federico


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.
 =20
* .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.
 =20
* All classes have been renamed to exist in the psycopg2._psycopg module,
  to fix problems with automatic documentation generators like epydoc.
 =20
* NOTIFY is correctly trapped (see examples/notify.py for example code.)
