Incremented version number to reflect new management. [Bruce Momjian] - README cleaned up. [Bruce Momjian] - Added t/15funct.t, a series of tests that determine if the meta data is working. [Thomas Lowery] - Added implementations of column_info() and table_info(), and primary_key_info(). [Thomas Lowery] - The POD formatting was cleaned up. [David Wheeler] - The preparser was updated to better handle escaped characters. [Rudy Lippan] - Removed redundant use of strlen() in pg_error() (Jason E. Stewart). - Test suite cleaned up, converted to use Test::More, and updated to use standard DBI environment variables for connecting to a test database. [Jason E. Stewart] - Added eg/lotest.pl as a demonstration of using large objects in buffers rather than files. Contributed by Garth Webb. - Added LISTEN/NOTIFY functionality. Congributed by Alex Pilosov. - Added constants for common PostgreSQL data types, plus simple tests to make sure that they work. These are exportable via "use DBD::Pg qw(:pg_types);". [David Wheeler] - Deprecatated the undocumented (and invalid) use of SQL_BINARY in bind_param() and documented the correct approach: "bind_param($num, $val { pg_type => PG_BYTEA });".
