[Francisco Figueiredo Jr.]

Hi, all!!

The Npgsql Development Team is proud to announce the Npgsql2 2.0.12
beta2 release!

Npgsql is a .Net Data provider written 100% in C# which allows .net
programs to talk to postgresql backends. Npgsql is licensed under BSD.
More info can be obtained from http://www.npgsql.org

This release is another step in the direction of the final 2.0.12 release.

Here is the changelog of this version:

Npgsql 2.0.11.92 ( 2.0.12 beta2)


Fixed bugs:

[#1011008] Add PhysicalAddress (MAC Address) support to
Npgsql. Thanks Gildas for patche and test case.

[#1010977] Add application_name support to connection string.
Thanks Chris Coleman for patch.

[ npgsql-Bugs-1011018 ] Invalid Cast with DbType.Time
Parameter. Thanks Patrick Earl for patch.
Also added test case to reproduce the problem.

[#1011021] Support DbMetaDataCollectionNames.ReservedWords.
Thanks Patrick Earl for patch.

Fixed problem with last update about Password as byte[].
Reverted type of Password property of
NpgsqlConnectionStringBuilder to String again. It was changed
from String to byte[] which was
causing problems with previous client code. There is a new
property called PasswordAsByteArray for those willing to use the
byte[] property. Thanks Dan Shoubridge for heads up.

[#1011044]. Fixed missing NpgsqlDataReader.GetTimeSpan() method.
Added unit test case to cover this method.

Added patch from Patrick Earl. Thanks, Patrick!
