+
+
+## v1.5.0 [2023-04-24] Lars Kanis <lars@greiz-reinsdorf.de>
+
+Enhancements:
+
+- Better support for binary format:
+    - Extend PG::Connection#copy_data to better support binary transfers [#511](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/511)
+    - Add binary COPY encoder and decoder:
+        * PG::BinaryEncoder::CopyRow
+        * PG::BinaryDecoder::CopyRow
+    - Add binary timestamp encoders:
+        * PG::BinaryEncoder::TimestampUtc
+        * PG::BinaryEncoder::TimestampLocal
+        * PG::BinaryEncoder::Timestamp
+    - Add PG::BinaryEncoder::Float4 and Float8
+    - Add binary date type: [#515](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/515)
+        * PG::BinaryEncoder::Date
+        * PG::BinaryDecoder::Date
+    - Add PG::Result#binary_tuples [#511](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/511)
+      It is useful for COPY and not deprecated in that context.
+    - Add PG::TextEncoder::Bytea to BasicTypeRegistry [#506](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/506)
+- Ractor support: [#519](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/519)
+    - Pg is now fully compatible with Ractor introduced in Ruby-3.0 and doesn't use any global mutable state.
+    - All type en/decoders and type maps are shareable between ractors if they are made frozen by `Ractor.make_shareable`.
+    - Also frozen PG::Result and PG::Tuple objects can be shared.
+    - All frozen objects (except PG::Connection) can still be used to do communication with the PostgreSQL server or to read retrieved data.
+    - PG::Connection is not shareable and must be created within each Ractor to establish a dedicated connection.
+- Use keyword arguments instead of hashes for Coder initialization and #to_h. [#511](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/511)
+- Add PG::Result.res_status as a class method and extend Result#res_status to return the status of self. [#508](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/508)
+- Reduce the number of files loaded at `require 'pg'` by using autoload. [#513](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/513)
+  Previously stdlib libraries `date`, `json`, `ipaddr` and `bigdecimal` were static dependencies, but now only `socket` is mandatory.
+- Improve garbage collector performance by adding write barriers to all PG classes. [#518](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/518)
+  Now they can be promoted to the old generation, which means they only get marked on major GC.
+- New method PG::Connection#check_socket to check the socket state. [#521](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/521)
+- Mark many internal constants as private. [#522](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/522)
+- Update Windows fat binary gem to OpenSSL-3.1.0.
+
+Bugfixes:
+
+- Move nfields-check of stream-methods after result status check [#507](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/507)
+  This ensures that the nfield-check doesn't hide errors like statement timeout.
+
+Removed:
+
+- Remove deprecated PG::BasicTypeRegistry.register_type and co. [Part of #519](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/commit/2919ee1a0c6b216e18e1d06c95c2616ef69d2f97)
+- Add deprecation warning about PG::Coder initialization per Hash argument. [#514](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/514)
+  It is recommended to use keyword arguments instead.
+- The internal encoding cache was removed. [#516](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/516)
+  It shouldn't have a practical performance impact.
+
+Repository:
+
+- `rake test` tries to find PostgreSQL server commands by pg_config [#503](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/503)
+  So there's no need to set the PATH manuelly any longer.
+
+
+## v1.4.6 [2023-02-26] Lars Kanis <lars@greiz-reinsdorf.de>
+
+- Add japanese README file. [#502](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/502)
+- Improve `discard_results` to not block under memory pressure. [#500](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/500)
+- Use a dedicated error class `PG::LostCopyState` for errors due to another query within `copy_data` and mention that it's probably due to another query.
+  Previously the "no COPY in progress" `PG::Error` was less specific. [#499](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/499)
+- Make sure an error in `put_copy_end` of `copy_data`  doesn't lose the original exception.
+- Disable nonblocking mode while large object calls. [#498](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/498)
+  Since pg-1.3.0 libpq's "lo_*" calls failed when a bigger amount of data was transferred.
+  This specifically forced the `active_storage-postgresql` gem to use pg-1.2.3.
+- Add rdoc options to gemspec, so that "gem install" generates complete offline documentation.
+- Add binary Windows gems for Ruby 3.2.
+- Update Windows fat binary gem to PostgreSQL-15.2 and OpenSSL-3.0.8.
+
+
+## v1.4.5 [2022-11-17] Lars Kanis <lars@greiz-reinsdorf.de>

+- Fix name resolution when empty or `nil` port is given.
+- Update error codes to PostgreSQL-15.
+- Update Windows fat binary gem to PostgreSQL-15.1 AND OpenSSL-1.1.1s.
+
+
+## v1.4.4 [2022-10-11] Lars Kanis <lars@greiz-reinsdorf.de>
+
+- Revert to let libpq do the host iteration while connecting. [#485](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/485)
+  Ensure that parameter `connect_timeout` is still respected.
+- Handle multiple hosts in the connection string, where only one host has writable session. [#476](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/476)
+- Add some useful information to PG::Connection#inspect. [#487](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/487)
+- Support new pgresult_stream_any API in sequel_pg-1.17.0. [#481](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/481)
+- Update Windows fat binary gem to PostgreSQL-14.5.
+
+
+## v1.4.3 [2022-08-09] Lars Kanis <lars@greiz-reinsdorf.de>

+
+
+## v1.3.0 [2022-01-20] Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
+
+Install Enhancements:
+- Print some install help if libpq wasn't found. [#396](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/396)

+- Fall back to pkg-config if pg_config is not found. [#380](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/380)
+- Add option to extconf.rb to disable nogvl-wrapping of libpq functions.
+  All methods (except PG::Connection.ping) are nonblocking now, so that GVL unlock is in theory no longer necessary.
+  However it can have some advantage in concurrency, so that GVL unlock is still enabled by default.
+  Use:
+  - gem inst pg -- --disable-gvl-unlock
+
+API Enhancements:

+  - Do all socket waiting through the conn.socket_io object.
+  - Avoid PG.connect blocking while address resolution by automatically providing the +hostaddr+ parameter and resolving in Ruby instead of libpq.
+  - On Windows Fiber.scheduler support requires Ruby-3.1+.
+    It is also only partly usable since may ruby IO methods are not yet scheduler aware on Windows.
+- Add support for pipeline mode of PostgreSQL-14. [#401](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/401)
+- Allow specification of multiple hosts in PostgreSQL URI. [#387](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/387)

+- Make BasicTypeRegistry a class and use a global default instance of it.
+  Now a local type registry can be instanciated and given to the type map, to avoid changing shared global states.
+- Allow PG::BasicTypeMapForQueries to take a Proc as callback for undefined types.
+
+Other Enhancements:

+- Add PG::CONNECTION_* constants for conn.status of newer PostgreSQL versions.
+- Add better support for logical replication. [#339](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/339)
+- Change conn.socket_io to read+write mode and to a BasicSocket object instead of IO.
+- Use rb_io_wait() and the conn.socket_io object if available for better compatibility to Fiber.scheduler .
+  Fall back to rb_wait_for_single_fd() on ruby < 3.0.
+- On Windows use a specialized wait function as a workaround for very poor performance of rb_io_wait(). [#416](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/416)
+
+Bugfixes:
+- Release GVL while calling PQping which is a blocking method, but it didn't release GVL so far.
+- Fix Connection#transaction to no longer block on interrupts, for instance when pressing Ctrl-C and cancel a running query. [#390](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/390)
+- Avoid casting of OIDs to fix compat with Redshift database. [#369](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/369)
+- Call conn.block before each conn.get_result call to avoid possible blocking in case of a slow network and multiple query results.
+- Sporadic Errno::ENOTSOCK when using conn.socket_io on Windows [#398](https://github.com/ged/ruby-pg/pull/398)
+
