pgcentralfoundation/pgrx v0.7.2

on GitHub

This is pgx v0.7.2. It contains quite a few bugfixes and API changes (some of which are breaking).

When updating please make sure to update your crate dependencies and also:

$ cargo install cargo-pgx --version 0.7.2 --locked

API Changes

• Made Date::to_unix_epoch_days() public by @osawyerr in #1039

• Mapping PG interval type by @mhov in #629

• Cleanup PgTrigger such that its public API can now be safe. by @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1055

There's quite a bit of changes to trigger support. PgTrigger is now parameterized with a lifetime and #[pg_trigger] functions will need to adapt to this. Additionally, #[pg_trigger] functions must now return an Option<PgHeapTuple>> (or Result<Option<PgHeapTuple>, E>) as previously it wasn't possible to return a NULL tuple (ie, Option::None), indicating that the row being acted upon should not be modified.

• overhaul our Postgres Range support by @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1050

Range support has been changed quite a bit to be more ergonomic and provide conversion from Rust std::ops::Range* types. Check out the new example in pgx-examples/range/.

• a better Error type when conversion from Date to time::Date doesn't work by @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1052

This is only relevant when the pgx/time-crate feature is used

Correctness Issues

• By default, require superuser privileges to install a pgx extension by @vadim2404 in #1056

This only impacts new extension crates made with cargo pgx new. It's better that pgx assume the extension you're about to make is wildly unsafe and for you to change that assumption in its extname.control file if you disagree.

• Fix the IntoDatum implementations for both pg_sys::Point and pg_sys::BOX by @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1042

• Extend UTF-8 detection in PGX init and test by @sumerman in #1041

Bug Fixes

• fix for #797 aggregate schemas by @mhov in #1027

• Fix issue #1032 by @eeeebbbbrrrr in #1033

pgx extensions can now be built against Postgres forks, but you'll need to turn on the pgx/unsafe-postgres feature for your pgx dependency.

• Use SPITupleTable->numvals when available by @yrashk in #1037

• Support in FromDatum for binary coercible types (including domain types) by @EdMcBane in #1028

This allows slightly more automatic conversions between data types for Spi. Especially when the Postgres type is a DOMAIN over something like TEXT and the desired Rust type is a String

• Remove plrust-related feature flags by @workingjubilee in #1053, Some cleanups around postgrestd and memctx handling by @thomcc in #1051

pgx no longer knows that it's being used with postgrestd

• fix: check root by uid by @skyzh in #1044

cargo pgx init no longer assumes a user named "root" exists on the system

Miscellaneous

• support backtrace for Rust panic by @skyzh in #1049

If you run Postgres or cargo pgx run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 set in the environment, then whenever pgx catches a panic, it'll include a full backtrace!

• Ensure the libpq{,N}-dev package is removed in CI by @thomcc in #1034

• Fix outdated documentation for pgx::name! by @Smittyvb in #1036

• Disable thin lto for dev builds by default in template by @JelteF in #1035

• Respect RUSTC/CARGO environment variables, and handle calls through cargo in cargo-pgx and pgx-test by @thomcc in #1038

• Fix some warnings when the time-crate feature is disabled by @thomcc in #1054
