+ Changes since pyPgSQL Version 2.2
+ =================================
+ 
+ The following source code files were added to Version 2.3 beta 1 of pyPgSQL:
+ 
+     setup.config	- Part of the changed distutils-based build process.
+ 			  If you want to customize the build process (change
+ 			  include and library directories, for example, you
+ 			  only need to edit this file; setup.py should not be
+ 			  edited directly any longer)
+ 
+     unicode_tests.py	- Test suite for the new Unicode support. Merged from
+ 			  the Unicode patch.
+ 
+ Changes to setup.py
+ -------------------
+ * This file was rewritten entirely so that pyPgSQL now builds out of the box
+   on Windows, Cygwin, Debian Linux, Redhat Linux, SuSE Linux, FreeBSD,
+   UnixWare 7 and OpenUNIX 8. These are the platforms the new build process has
+   been tested on. Untested support is available for Mandrake Linux, NetBSD,
+   OpenBSD and MacOS X.
+ 
+ Changes to README
+ -----------------
+ * Updates for 2.3b1.
+ * Converted the whole document into reStructuredText, so we
+   can easily built a HTML version using docutils (http://docutils.sf.net/).
+ 
+ Changes to README.win32
+ -----------------------
+ * Remove out of date warning about PostgreSQL on win32
+ * Reflected change from windows/ to ports/
+ 
+ Changes to PgSQL.py
+ -------------------
+ * Merged the Unicode patch. pyPgSQL now has full Unicode support.
+ * Added support for the INTERVAL type.
+ * mxDateTime 1.x is no longer supported. Require mxDateTime 2.x and give
+   useful error message if import fails.
+ * Cosmetic changes: use cmp builtin where appropriate.
+ * Fixed typo where PgTypes.__str__ was spelled incorrectly; compare to None
+   using "is" operator.
+ * Take into account that libpq.PgInt8Type might not be
+   available.
+ * Convert ROWID to PgInt8 instead of PgInt4 (the original behaviour led to 
+   overflow errors.)
+ * Always set the displaysize field of cursor.description to -1.
+   PostgreSQL 7.3 doesn't provide this information any more and it's pretty
+   useless nowadays that we've mostly left line printers beyond us.
+ 
+ Changes to pyPgSQL/__init__.py
+ ------------------------------
+ * Register libpq.PgInt8 with copy_reg only if available.
+ 
+ Changes to pglargeobject.c
+ --------------------------
+ * Made the 'closed' attribute of PgLargeObject an int instead of a
+   long.
+ 	
+ Changes to libpqmodule.c:
+ -------------------------
+ * Fixed the format string of ParseTuple in libPQbool_FromInt.
+   This closes a bug that appeared on Linux/Alpha (#625121).
+ 	
+ Changes to PgSQLTestcases:
+ --------------------------
+ * Don't check for the obsolete displaysize field in
+   cursor.description. Also don't check the backend encoding.
+ 
+ Multiple files
+ --------------
+ The windows/ directory has been moved to a port/ directory. Now we *always*
+ use our own version of various string versions instead of special casing for a
+ dozen different Windows and Unix platforms.
+ 
+ In order to get the C version of PgInt8Type, it is now required that the
+ constants LLONG_MAX, LLONG_MIN, ULLONG_MAX and ULLONG_MIN are defined when
+ including limits.h and that including Python.h defines HAVE_LONG_LONG.
+ Otherwise, a Python class is used instead.
+
