This version enhances SERIAL data type handling and on line
recovery. Also an important bug, serializable transactions could cause
data inconsistency among DB nodes, is fixed. Query cancelation, which
never worked since pgpool-II was born, is finally fixed.

Here are new features of pgpool-II 2.2:

- With insert_lock, now a table is locked only if it has SERIAL data
  type and now the default value for insert_lock is true(Tatsuo)

- Start internal transaction other than INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE and
  SELECT to keep node consistency(Tatsuo)

- Add client_idle_limit_in_recovery directive. This will prevent 2nd
  stage of on line recovery from not going forward by idle clients
  sitting forever(Tatsuo)

- Add pid_file_name directive which specifies a path to the file
  containing pgpool process id. "logdir" is no more used(Tatsuo)

- Allow to load balance DECLARE, FETCH and CLOSE(Tatsuo)

- Add -d option to pcp commands(Jun Kuriyama)
