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 improvement initiative I'm working on. Stay tuned as things are set to get much faster still! :rocket:

8.1.0

Changelog

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 pg@8.x significantly less difficult on environments like Heroku for example.
