postgresql-simple v0.1.4 Release Notes

Release Date: 2012-06-10 // almost 12 years ago

    • Removed pcre-light dependency, courtesy of Joey Adams.

    • Reworked support for the Time types.

      • The conversion from PostgreSQL's timestamp (without time zone) type to Haskell's UTCTime type is deprecated and will be removed in 0.2.
      • Data.Time.LocalTime now has FromField/ToField instances. It is now the preferred way of dealing with timestamp (without time zone).
      • Database.PostgreSQL.Simple.Time is a new module that offers types that accomodate PostgreSQL's infinities.
      • All time-related FromField/ToField instances are now based on new, higher-speed parsers and printers instead of those provided by the time package included in GHC.

    • Planned breaking changes for 0.2:

      • Removing the conversion from timestamp to UTCTime.
      • Renaming some of the type names in BuiltinTypes.
