pgcentralfoundation/pgrx v0.0.8

on GitHub

pgx v0.0.8 has been released. This is a bugfix and feature release.

New Features

• Issue #18: #[derive(PostgresType)] now works for structs that contain borrowed data (ie, they have lifetimes). These are encoded as JSON, whereas fully-owned structs are encoded as CBOR
• Issue #19: pgx now supports Postgres' bytea type, which can be represented in Rust as &[u8] or Vec<u8>. There's also an example for this that demonstrates gzipping bytea data

Bug Fixes

• Issue #21: Rust's unit type (()) is now translated into a Postgres void
• Issue #21: Rust's char type is now translated into a Postgres varchar
• Issue #21: Postgres' "char" type (note the quotes!) is now translated into a Rust i8
