PgBouncer 1.20.0 has been released. This release deprecates the online restart feature using the `-R` flag, instead `so_reuseport` should be used for online restarts. It also introduces better support for tracking PostgreSQL settings using the new `track_extra_parameters` setting, which can be used to track `search_path` in combination with Citus 12.0+. It also adds some other features such as connecting using TLS by default, forwarding error codes in the authentication phase and support for the `options` startup parameter. And finally it also fixes a few minor bugs.
