All major and minor releases are briefly explained below.
For richer information consult the commit log on github with referenced pull requests.
We do not include break-fix version release in this file.
- Add support for [application_name](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/pull/497)
- Add support for [the password file](http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/libpq-pgpass.html)
- Add better support for [unix domain socket](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/pull/487) connections
- Add support for parsing JSON[] and UUID[] result types
- Use single row mode in native bindings when available [@rpedela]
- reduces memory consumption when handling row values in 'row' event
- Automatically bind buffer type parameters as binary [@eugeneware]
- Respect PGSSLMODE environment variable
- Ability to opt-in to int8 parsing via `pg.defaults.parseInt8 = true`
- Use eval in the result set parser to increase performance
- Remove built-in support for binary Int64 parsing.
_Due to the low usage & required compiled dependency this will be pushed into a 3rd party add-on_
- [Add support for excapeLiteral and escapeIdentifier in both JavaScript and the native bindings](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/pull/396)
- Add support for SSL connections in JavaScript driver
- this means you can connect to heroku postgres from your local machine without the native bindings!
- [Add field metadata to result object](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/blob/master/test/integration/client/row-description-on-results-tests.js)
- [Add ability for rows to be returned as arrays instead of objects](https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/blob/master/test/integration/client/results-as-array-tests.js)
- Properly handle various PostgreSQL to JavaScript type conversions to avoid data loss:
```
PostgreSQL | pg@v2.0 JavaScript | pg@v1.0 JavaScript
--------------------------------|----------------
float4 | number (float) | string
float8 | number (float) | string
int8 | string | number (int)
numeric | string | number (float)
decimal | string | number (float)
```

If you are unhappy with these changes you can always [override the built in type parsing fairly easily](https://github.com/brianc/node-pg-parse-float).
- Make client_encoding configurable and optional
- return field metadata on result object: access via result.fields[i].name/dataTypeID
- built in support for `JSON` data type for PostgreSQL Server @ v9.2.0 or greater
- remove deprecated functionality
- Callback function passed to `pg.connect` now __requires__ 3 arguments
- Client
- numeric, decimal, and float data types no longer parsed into float before being returned. Will be returned from query results as `String`
- client now emits `end` when disconnected from back-end server
- if client is disconnected in the middle of a query, query receives an error
- add deprecation warnings in prep for v1.0
- fix read/write failures in native module under node v0.9.x
