  Changes to README
  -----------------
! * Updates for 2.4.
!  
  Changes to PgSQL.py
  -------------------
! * Applied patch from Laurent Pinchart to allow _quote to correctly process
!   objects that are sub-classed from String and Long types.
! * Change the name of the quoting function back to _quote. Variables named
!   like __*__ should be restrict to system names.
! * PgTypes is now hashable.  repr() of a PgType will now	return the repr()
!   of the underlying OID.
! * Connection.binary() will now fail if autocommit is enabled.
! * Connection.binary() will no longer commit the transaction after creating
!   the large object.  The application developer is now responsible for
!   commiting (or	for rolling back) the transaction [Bug #747525].
! * Added PG_TIMETZ to the mix [Patch #708013].
! * Pg_Money will now accept a string as a parameter.
! * PostgreSQL int2, int, int4 will now be cast into Python ints.  Int8 will
!   be cast into a Python long.  Float4, float8, and money types will be
!   cast into a Python float.
! * Correct problem with the PgNumeric.__radd__ method.  [Bug #694358]
! * Correct problem with conversion of negitive integers (with a given scale
!   and precision) to PgNumerics.  [Bug #694358]
! * Work around a problem where the precision and scale of a query result
!   can be different from the first result in the result set.  [Bug #697221]
! * Change the code so that the display length in the cursor.description
!   attribute is always None instead of '-1'.
! * Fixed another problem with interval <-> DateTimeDelta	casting.
! * Corrected a problem that caused the close of a portal (ie. PostgreSQL
!   cursor) to fail.
! * Corrected a problem with interval <-> DateTimeDelta casting.  [Bug #653044]
! * Corrected problem found by Adam Buraczewski in the __setupTransaction
!   function.
! * Allow both 'e' and 'E' to signify an exponent in the PgNumeric constructor.
! * Correct some problems that were missed in yesterday's	fixes (Thanks,
!   Adam, for the help with the problems)
  
  Changes to libpqmodule.c
  ------------------------
! * On win32, we usually statically link against libpq.  Because of
!   fortunate circumstances, a problem didn't show up until now: we need to
!   call WSAStartup() to initialize the socket stuff from Windows *in our
!   module* in order for the statically linked libpq to work.  I just took
!   the relevant DllMain function from the libpq sources and put it here.
! * Modified some comments to reflect reality.
! * Applied patch from Laurent Pinchart:  In libPQquoteString, bytea are
!   quoted using as much as 5 bytes per input byte (0x00 is quoted '\\000'),
!   so allocating (slen * 4) + 3 is not enough for data that contain lots of
!   0x00 bytes.
! * Added PG_TIMETZ to the mix [Patch #708013].
! 	
! Changes to pgboolean.c
! ----------------------
! * Change the name of the quoting function back to _quote.  __*__ type
!   names should be restricted to system names.
  
  Changes to pgconnection.c
  -------------------------
! * Applied patch by Laurent Pinchart to correct a problem lo_import,
!   lo_export, lo_unlink.
! * In case PQgetResult returns NULL, let libPQgetResult return a Python
!   None, like the docstring says.  This is necessary in order to be able
!   to cancel queries, as after cancelling a query with PQrequestCancel,
!   we need to read results until PQgetResult returns NULL.
! 	
! Changes to pglargeobject.c
! --------------------------
! * Change the name of the quoting function back to _quote.  __*__ type
!   names should be restricted to system names.
  
! Changes to pgnotify.c
  ---------------------
! * Fixed a bug in the code.  The code in question use to work, but doesn't
!   anymore (possible change to libpq?).

! Changes since pyPgSQL Version 2.4
  =================================
  
  Changes to README
  -----------------
! * Updates for 2.5.
! 
  Changes to PgSQL.py
  -------------------
! * Additional attribute cursor.debug:
! 
!     Setting this attribute to 'text' will cause the query that will
!     be executed to be displayed to STDOUT.  If it is set to 'pre' or
!     'div', the query will be displayed to STDOUT within a <pre> or
!     <dif> HTML block.  If it is set to None (the default), the query
!     will not be displayed.
! 
! * New module-level variable useUTCtimeValue:
! 
!     Setting this variable to 1 will cause the datatime instance returned from
!     the result set for a timestame with timezone to reference the corresponding
!     UTC time value (not the value expressed in the clients time zone).
! 
! * mxDateTime's RelativeDateTime instead of DateTimeDelta is now used for
! PostgreSQL INTERVALs.
! 
! * Several other fixes in the PostgreSQL interval code
! 
! * Several bugfixes in the PgNumeric type
! 
! *  PgInt2 and PgInt8 used to be custom number types that checked for overflows
! in their specific ranges. In order to make them work across current Python
! versions we got rid of them and replaced them with int and long.
! 
! * Many changes in parameter quoting to make them work in more cases like
! * PostgreSQL procedures
  
  Changes to libpqmodule.c
  ------------------------
! * Bugfix for quoting Bytea types
  
  Changes to pgconnection.c
  -------------------------
! * Fixed compatibility problems with PostgreSQL 8.x.
! * Added debug support
  
! Changes to pgresult.c
  ---------------------
! * Integrated patch #1224272. Use PyOS_ascii_strtod instead of strtod in order
!   to be locale-agnostic.
! 
! Changes to pgversion.c
! ----------------------
! * Applied patch #882032. Vendor-extensions to version
!   number should not create problems any longer.
! 
! * Fixed Bug #786712 & #816729: Allowed for a version string
!   containing the words "alpha" and "beta".
