Hi *,

sorry for being so late but during the last few months I was swamped in
work. Fortunately enough we're approaching te mythical one-dot-oh date
and psycopg release cycle will probably benefit from a little more free
hacking time. Let's start with the final beta for 2.0.6, to be shortly
followed by 2.0.6 final:

http://initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/psycopg2-2.0.6b2.tar.gz

that fixes all reproducible bugs tagged for the 2.0.6 milestone and
quite some other fixes (especially from David Rushby that made psycopg
much more stable when used with Python 2.5 and on 64 bit architectures.)
An excerpt from the NEWS file follows. As always..

have fun,
federico


What's new in psycopg 2.0.6
---------------------------

* Full support for PostgreSQL 8.2, including NULLs in arrays.

* Full support for Python 2.5 and 64 bit architectures.

* Support for almost all PostgreSQL encodings.

* Better management of times and dates both from Python and in Zope.

* 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.)

* We now have a full list of PostgreSQL error codes available by
  importing the psycopg2.errorcodes module.

* Better build support on win32 platform.

* 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
