Npgsql 2.0.11 released!

As I've said in my last post ,  Npgsql 2.0.11 is finally here! This release fixes the problem with bytea handling with Postgresql 9.0. This patch should have been applied a long time ago.

So youtube videos are seeing in webm or h264. The problem is that those videos seem to eat up more cpu power than flash! :( Another big missing thi
