2017-10-13 Thread Steven Winfield
Hi all, I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. We use pgbouncer, as I'm sure many other people do, but we are becoming increasingly worried by the lack of a new release since February 2016 and a slowdown in development activity on the master branch. https://github.com/pgbouncer/pgbouncer
