Hi, all!! The Npgsql Development Team is proud to announce the Npgsql2 2.0.8 release!
Npgsql is a .Net Data provider written 100% in C# which allows .net programs to talk to postgresql backends. Npgsql is licensed under BSD. More info can be obtained from http://www.npgsql.org This release is a minor bug fix for the stable 2.0 series. The biggest highlights are: Work in progress for the bug reported in message 1005698. Josh is working to provide a much more solid fix for this. Josh started to add support for better type handling of Npgsql types and CLR types. This way, Npgsql users will be able to get values in either Npgsql specific types, like NpgsqlTimeTZ, or CLR type, like DateTime. And many bug fixes: Initial support for bug fix reported in message 1005698. The fix changes valid sql that produced incorrect results to sometimes valid sql that produced correct results when valid. Also contains work in progress to resolve the invalid sql. (Josh Cooley) [#1010727] Entity framework exception if null inserted in XML column Changed null handling so that the value is only type cast when used in a select clause. [#1010673] syntax error in queries generated by entity framework 2.0.6 ms.net sp1 Changed the filter handling to better work when subqueries in joins. [#1010687] Spelling error in NpgsqlCommand Object command timeout exception. Added method AddWithValue and made Add(String, object) obsolete and this was causing ambiguity problems with Add and NpgsqlDbType and DbType. See http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1010714&group_id=1000140&atid=590 and http://pgfoundry.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1010715&group_id=1000140&atid=592 for more details. Thanks Gildas (prime.gildas @nospam@ gmail.com) for heads up and discussion about that. Note that the issue of adding a new method which takes a DbType parameter is not finished yet. We should check if this is still needed. Updated documentation to not use DbType in the examples. Bug: Money to Decimal conversion. Fixed problem where negative money values weren't being returned correctly. Thanks Denis Moinel (denis.moinel @nospam@ gmail.com) for heads up and patch. See http://pgfoundry.org/forum/message.php?msg_id=1005647 for more info. Fix time zone parsing bug reported in message 1005627. Now handle negative timezones correctly. Fixed a bug where Npgsql wasn't honoring the connectiontimeout on Startup method. See http://pgfoundry.org/forum/message.php?msg_id=1005603 for more info.
