Hi, all! This release is a one-line patched version to add support for standard conforming string parameter in postgresql.conf. More info can be found here This patch is needed for correct bytea handling. As always, binary versions are ready to download at the usual place . Thanks Laurenz Albe & Erich Lerch for patch!

Hi all! It was just added support to uuid datatype in cvs head. This type will be available in next Postgresql release 8.3. Thanks to David Bachmann for his patch! You can get more info about this patch in this mailing list post . Also was added support for copy in and copy out operations. Now, users can provide streams which can be copied directly to and from Postgresql tables! Thanks to Kalle Hallivuori for providing a patch! Thanks to Truviso for giving support to Kalle. More info about that including a demo and ready to use compiled Npgsql.dll versions can be found here . That's it! As soon as we get more features added, I will post info about them here. Stay tuned! :)

Hi, all! After some research on open source site web designs: www.oswd.org , www.openwebdesign.org and www.opendesigns.org , I finally choose this one, from styleshout. Npgsql homepage now looks nicer than previous one . Please, send your feedback and suggestions for this new site. Thanks in advance.

Hi, all!! Well, it is finally here... Npgsql is now licensed under BSD License!! We had to drop two patches which we didn't got approval license change for. One patch, from Torben, wasn't being used anymore and another from Gridnine can give some problems with case mixed table and column names. We will work on another fix for this problem until next release under new license. This is an exciting news and this license change opens a new horizon for Npgsql2. We have a lot of work to do as we were holding a lot of patches. So, expect to see many new features being implemented. More news about them will be posted here. Stay tuned!! Thank you very much to all patch owners who helped with this license transition. Thanks God for allowing all this to happen.

UPDATE2 at 2007-08-10: Chris just sent me his permission. So, now, there are only 2 permissions pending. License change is very near!! UPDATE: Daniel Morgan and Magnus Hagander sent me their permission. We are now waiting for others to send theirs. Hi all!! I have been revising some more files to make Npgsql license change and we are very close now.

Yeah, that's it! After so many months without any update, Npgsql2 is finally alive. While this release doesn't give you full blown potential of new features, you can at least test it using the new ado.net 2.0 api as well as asp.net providers. Please, give it a try and let us know what you think. Important notice: We are changing license to BSD. So this may be the last release under LGPL. This means that not all features currently available may be at next release. This is due to the fact that not all patch submitters may be reached or he/she doesn't give permission to change the license. If this is the case we don't have any other alternative than drop the patch and try to reimplement it. I'm sorry for that and I hope we don't have any problems with patch owners. :) I'd like to thank God for allowing me to do that. I'd like to thank all people involved in this release who helped to make it happen. Thank you!
