[Pgpool-general] pgpool-II 2.3.2 released

[Tatsuo Ishii]

Pgpool Gobal Development Group is pleased to announce the availability
of pgpool-II 2.3.2, the latest stable version of pgpool-II 2.3 series.

	  * Version 2.3.2

	  This version includes various fixes for bugs in 2.3.1 or before.
	  All 2.3.x users are encouraged to upgrade to 2.3.2 as soon as
	  possible.

	  Also this version enables long awaited SSL support and large
	  object replication support.

	  * Enhancements

	  - SSL support(Sean Finney)

	  - Large object replication support. You need PostgreSQL 8.1 or
        later, however(Tatsuo)

	  - Emit statement log when error or notice message comes from
		query parsing process. This is usefull because PostgreSQL does
		not log particular statement if the error was detected
		*before* raw parser get executed.  This typlically happens
		when encoding error was found(Tatsuo)

	  - Display original query to log if kind mismatch error was
        caused by DEALLOCATE(Tatsuo)

	  - While health checking and recovery use postgres database if
		possible.  If postgres database does not exist, use template1
		as it stands now.  While connecting template1, certain
		commands, for example DROP DATABASE cannot used. Using postgres
		database allows to use these commands while recovery(Tatsuo)

	  * Bug fixes

	  - Fix errors in timestamp rewriting which occasionaly cause
		broken packet sentto slave nodes(Tatsuo)

	  - Fix errors when timestamp rewriting is used with V2
        protocol(Toshihiro Kitagawa)

	  - Propagate Bind, Describe and Close messages to only master
        node if running in master/slave and in transaction (Tatsuo)

	  - Fix do_child() so that check_stop_request() exits immediately
		when smart shutdown signal has been sent.  This has been used
		to work in 2.2(Toshihiro Kitagawa)

	  - Fix ProcessFrontendResponse not to accept invalid frotend
        packet(Xavier Noguer)

	  - Use %dz for sizeof in fprintf for more portability(Tatsuo)

	  - Fix compiler warnings(Tatsuo)

	  - 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)(Tatuso)
