== v1.1.0 [2018-08-24] Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>

- Forwarding conn.async_exec to conn.async_exec_params.
- Forwarding conn.send_query to conn.send_query_params is deprecated.
- Forwarding conn.async_exec_params to conn.async_exec is deprecated.

PG::Connection enhancements:
- Provide PG::Connection#sync_* and PG::Connection#async_* query methods for explicit calling syncronous or asynchronous libpq API.
- Make PG::Connection#exec and siblings switchable between sync and async API per PG::Connection.async_api= and change the default to async flavors.

- Add PG::Connection#discard_results .
- Raise an ArgumentError for strings containing zero bytes by #escape, #escape_literal, #escape_identifier, #quote_ident and PG::TextEncoder::Identifier. These methods previously truncated strings.

- Add PG::Tuple, PG::Result#tuple and PG::Result#stream_each_tuple .
  PG::Tuple offers a way to lazy cast result values.

- Make the estimated PG::Result size available to ObjectSpace.memsize_of(result) .

Type cast enhancements:
- Replace Ruby code by a faster C implementation of the SimpleDecoder's timestamp decode functions. github #20

- Ensure input text is zero terminated for text format in PG::Coder#decode .

Source code enhancements:
- Fix headers and permission bits of various repository files.
