Hello everyone, I've just uploaded libpqxx 2.6.3 to the new project site.
This release fixes a number of problems in various areas (documentation, Windows compatibility, different std namespaces) but there are some other things you need to be aware of: 1. Prepared statements have been redone. There is a new interface, and the old one is simply gone. That's a very radical thing to do, but I think the new interface is so much more convenient that there was little point in prolonging the pain from the old one. 2. g++ 2.95 is no longer supported. Even the 21st-century 2.95.4 upgrade could no longer keep up with the C++ code used in libpqxx. I hope this will not inconvenience too many people; the point has finally been reached where I no longer saw an easy way to keep the code compatible with this compiler. Also, some important projects including Linux have recently taken the same step. For these reasons, 2.6.3 is still a "development" release to see how well this works for people out there. Please let me know your experiences with this release, and tell me which systems you run it on! I know I usually say that, but right now it's more important than with most releases. It would be really nice to have a stable 2.6 release before we move over to 3.0, so we can test some of those changes before the Big Three-Oh.
