WHAT’S NEW
This update is notifying you of the new release of EDB PgBouncer 1.16.0.1. PgBouncer is a lightweight connection pooling utility for PostgreSQL and EDB Postgres Advanced Server. This utility, based on the open source PgBouncer project, includes enhancements to support EDB Connectors that require compatible out parameter handling.
EDB PgBouncer is enhanced to support extra EDB Postgres Advanced capabilities, and can be used in conjunction with PostgreSQL or EDB Postgres Advanced.
Highlights of this release
This release contains a merge with upstream, which includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
|
Highlights |
Type |
|
Support hot reloading of TLS settings. When the configuration file is reloaded, updated TLS settings are automatically enforced. |
Feature |
|
Add support for abstract Unix-domain sockets. Prefix a Unix-domain socket path with @ to use a socket in the abstract namespace. |
Feature |
|
The maximum length of passwords and usernames have been increased to 996 and 128, respectively. Various cloud services require this. |
Feature |
|
The minimum pool size can now be set per database, similar to the regular pool size and the reserve pool size. |
Feature |
|
The number of pending query cancellations is shown in SHOW POOLS. |
Feature |
|
Configuration parsing now has tighter error handling in many places. Previously, it might have logged an error and proceeded. Those configuration errors would now result in startup failures. |
Bug Fix |
|
Query cancel handling has been fixed. Under some circumstances, cancel requests would seemingly get stuck for a long time. |
Bug Fix |
|
Mixed use of md5 and scram via hba has been fixed. |
Bug Fix |
|
The “FIXME: query end, but query_start == 0” messages have been fixed. The cause of these messages is now known. |
Bug Fix |
|
Fix reloading of default_pool_size, min_pool_size, and res_pool_size. Previously when these properties were reloaded, it didn’t work. |
Bug Fix |
