• Switch to optional peer dependencies & remove semver package which has been a small thorn in the side of a few users.
• Export DatabaseError from pg-protocol.
• Add support for ssl-mode in the connection string.

• Support passing a string of command line options flags via the { options: string } field on client/pool config.

• Switch internal protocol parser & serializer to pg-protocol. The change is backwards compatible but results in a significant performance improvement across the board, with some queries as much as 50% faster. This is the first work to land in an on-going performance improvment initiative I'm working on. Stay tuned as things are set to get much faster still! 🚀

• Switch to using monorepo version of pg-connection-string. This includes better support for SSL argument parsing from connection strings and ensures continuity of support.
• Add &ssl=no-verify option to connection string and PGSSLMODE=no-verify environment variable support for the pure JS driver. This is equivalent of passing { ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false } } to the client/pool constructor. The advantage of having support in connection strings and environment variables is it can be "externally" configured via environment variables and CLI arguments much more easily, and should remove the need to directly edit any application code for the SSL default changes in 8.0. This should make using [email protected] significantly less difficult on environments like Heroku for example.

• Same changes to pg impact pg-pool as they both use the same connection parameter and connection string parsing code for configuring SSL.

• Add maxUses config option.

note: for detailed release notes please check here

• Remove versions of node older than 6 lts from the test matrix. pg>=8.0 may still work on older versions but it is no longer officially supported.
• Change default behavior when not specifying rejectUnauthorized with the SSL connection parameters. Previously we defaulted to rejectUnauthorized: false when it was not specifically included. We now default to rejectUnauthorized: true. Manually specify { ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false } } for old behavior.
• Change default database when not specified to use the user config option if available. Previously process.env.USER was used.
• Change pg.Pool and pg.Query to be an es6 class.
• Make pg.native non enumerable.
