Hi *,

tomorrow I'll be at PyConUno, the first italian conference about Python,
giving a talk about psycopg. What better than release 2.0.6 final before
leaving for Firenze for the week-end? So here it is, tarball, signature
and ChangeLog:

http://initd.org/pub/software/psycopg/ChangeLog

A lot of changes went into 2.0.6 (see the ChangeLog for the details).
Here is a little excerpt from NEWS file, as always.


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


Have fun,
federico
