hi *,

this is a prerelease of the new stable series. i've tried to include as
much goodies as possible (see excerpt from NEWS file below) and so it
can be a little unstable. anyway, i tried to keep as separate as
possible DBAPI stuff from new extensions, so code that does not use the
new stuff should be safe.=20

that is, if you application is not mission critical feel free to test
this release: it would hopefully not bite too hard on you :)

random last-minute notes (not in NEWS):

  - .lastrowid absolutely not tested, but lastoid() still works

  - available isolation levels are 0 (autocommit), 1 (read commited) and
    2 (serializable, the default, as always.) autocommit() still works
    but will be removed sometime in the future.

psycopg news for 1.1.2
----------------------

* Skipped version 1.1.1 (never released 'cause of a cvs tag error)

* Much better cursor.description fields (many thanks to William K. Volkman)

* psycopg.connect() now takes keyword parameters for host, dbname, port,
  user and password (they are all strings, even "port".)

* connection.set_isolation_level() implemented to help switching from defau=
lt
  isolation to other levels supported by PostgreSQL. [autocommit now simply=
=20
  does a set_isolation_level(0)]

* implemented .lastrowid attribute for cursors.

* Includes every fix from 1.0.x up to 1.0.15.1:

  - Fixed connection-stay-open-when-i-do-conn.close() bug.
  - Better DBAPI-2.0 compliance for setinputsizes and setoutputsize methods=
.
  - Better support for build on MacOS X.
  - Fixed problem with formats in string mogrification.
  - Fixed other miscellaneous buglets in Zope Adapter.
  - Fixed small memory leak in .fetchXXX() methods.
  - Fixed serialization problem in ZPsycopgDA reported by Dieter Maurer.
