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 >=3D 59.5.=

  - Fixed spurious exception raised when calling C typecasters from
    Python ones.
