Happy 20th Anniversary, Npgsql! It seems like yesterday when I decided to start Npgsql. And today, Npgsql completes 20 years since the first public beta release! On May 18th, 2002, this is what was written in the first release notes of Npgsql version 0.1: 2002-05-18 First Npgsql beta release. In this version there is a limited functionality. It is only possible to connect and disconnect from server. Only clear text authentication is supported right now. To compile you can use the SharpDevelop to open the Combine file (Npgsql.cmbx) or type at command console: csc /t:library /out:Npgsql.dll NpgsqlConnection.cs AssemblyInfo.cs NpgsqlException.cs This will create the file Npgsql.dll that can be copied to the application directory. I will be working in the Command functionality now. Play with it and send your bugs and comments :) (fxjr) It's been a long journey since then. And what a journey!! :) It all started
