pgpool Gobal Development Group is pleased to announce the availability

This version enhances displaying error messages when kind mismatch
error occurs. Also it includes various fixes for bugs in 2.2.6 or
before as usual.

* Bug fixes

- Fix occasional hangup in extend protocol + master/slave mode,
  row mode or connection pool mode. Back patch from 2.3
  tree(Kitagawa)

- Fix long standing bug since pgpool-II 1.0 which causes
  segfault of pgpool child process. This was caused by
  miscalculation of shmem size in pgpool parent. Bug analysis by
  Kitagawa patch created by Tatsuo

- Send Parse, Bind, Describe and Close message to only master
  node if operated in explicit transaction and master/slave
  mode(Tatsuo).

- Emit a log when postmaster goes down(Tatsuo)

- Fix memory leak in make_persistent_db_connection(Xavier Noguer)

- Do not force replication of DEALLOCATE if operated in
  master/slave mode. Now that pgpool do not execute PARSE in all
  nodes, this was pointless and caused problem (kind mismatch
  when executing DEALLOCATE) (Tatsuo)

- Fix crash with show pool_status when there many (more than 18)
  DB nodes(Tatsuo)

- Enhance "kind mismatch" message. If kind is ERROR or NOTICE,
  print the ERROR/NOTICE message to help users to find what's
  going on(Tatsuo)
