About 8 months ago I posted a topic asking if anyone still needed Sequel to support Ruby 1.8.6 (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/sequel-talk/NmvfI-mej3Q). There have been no positive responses in 8 months, so I take that as a sign that nobody needs such support anymore. There's probably half a dozen places where Sequel goes out of it's way to support Ruby 1.8.6, and I'd like to get rid of those.
At the same time, Sequel has quite a bit of code that supports old (<8.2) versions of PostgreSQL, related to how it gets the primary key value for the last inserted row. 8.2 and higher PostgreSQL versions can use "INSERT ... RETURNING primary_key_column", which is much simpler for Sequel to implement. As ruby-pg has dropped support for PostgreSQL <8.3, and PostgreSQL no longer supports <8.3, I think that Sequel dropping support for PostgreSQL <8.2 is fairly reasonable. Consider this message as a last call. If you are using Sequel with Ruby 1.8.6 or PostgreSQL <8.2, you need to post here before the end of the month requesting the support not be removed or I'll be deprecating the support in 3.34.0 and removing it in 3.35.0. Note that I have no plans to stop supporting Sequel on Ruby 1.8.7. Sequel will probably support Ruby 1.8.7 long after it is unsupported by the Ruby developers.
