Pg 0.10.0

Ruby
1

Version 0.10.0 of pg, the PostgreSQL client library, has been released.

== Project Page

http://bitbucket.org/ged/ruby-pg/

== Installation

$ sudo gem install pg

If your compilation environment can’t find the PostgreSQL client
library, you
might have to show it where to look like so:

$ sudo gem install pg –
–with-pg-config=/opt/local/lib/postgresql90/bin/pg_config

Note that this release does not include Windows binaries, as I wasn’t
able to get it to cross-compile with PostgreSQL-9.0.1 and
OpenSSL-1.0.0a. I’ve spent nearly three weeks trying to get it working,
and I didn’t want to delay the release any longer because of it. Patches
welcomed.

== Changes

  • Fixes for Ruby 1.9.2
  • Updated for PostgreSQL 9.0
  • Integrated support for Ruby 1.9’s Encoding.default_internal. If you
    have
    a default_internal encoding set, it will be used for the
    client_encoding
    of new synchronous connections. Asynchronous connections will have to
    set
    client_encoding themselves, however, as it needs to be done after the
    connection is established.
  • Updated some of the examples
  • Updated the tests for RSpec 2

Most of the credit belongs to Jeff D., the PostgreSQL genius that
wrote the majority of the binding. I’m just tending his temple while
he’s away doing other godlike stuff. :slight_smile:

But thanks, it’s a lot of fun to work on!

Very true; thanks for pointing that out. Similarly, on other platforms,
installing this requires that you have the headers for the PostgreSQL
client library (libpq).
