pg-cursor@2.2.0

• 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.

v2.1.0

• 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
• Add ability for rows to be returned as arrays instead of objects

v2.0.0

• 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)
