* Fixed a memory leak when executing non cached SQL statements (rarely used)


Release 6.2 (2024-03-25)
========================

DB schema revision: 2
Minimum plugin SDK (for build): 1.12.3
Minimum Orthanc runtime: 1.12.3

* Fix check of Orthanc runtime version


Release 6.1 (2024-02-14)
========================

DB schema revision: 2

Release 6.0 (2024-02-08)
========================

DB schema revision: 2

* The DB schema has been updated to Revision 2.  If you need to reinstall the previous
  version of the plugin, you should run this script:
  https://orthanc.uclouvain.be/hg/orthanc-databases/file/tip/PostgreSQL/Plugins/SQL/Downgrades/Rev2ToRev1.sql
* Transaction Mode:
  Introduced a new configuration "TransactionMode" to select the transaction isolation level.
  Allowed values: "Serializable", "ReadCommitted".
  The "Serializable" mode was the only available value up to now.  It is still the default
  value now.
  The "ReadCommitted" is possible now due to rewrites of SQL queries and notably improves
  the Orthanc ability to ingest data from multiple sources in parallel.
* New "EnableVerboseLogs" configuration to show SQL statements being executed.

Release 2.2 (2018-07-16)
========================

!! Important remark when upgrading from an older version of the plugin:

   The plugin will create a new index to improve search performance.
   This can take several minutes at the first Orthanc startup. Orthanc
   will not be available during this period. On a PostgreSQL database
   with 100,000 studies, we have observed that updating the index took
   around 10 minutes.

* Migration into the "orthanc-databases" repository
* Full refactoring to share code with MySQL
* Fix issue 41 (Additional range IdentifierConstraintType in Orthanc)
  !! This fix requires Orthanc version >= 1.4.0
* Fix issue 47 (Index improvements for PG plugin)
* Fix issue 76 (PG connection shall reconnect/retry in case it loses
  the connection to the server)


Release 2.1 (2018-04-20)
========================

* Running transactions in "Serializable" isolation level to avoid 
  inconsistencies if multiple Orthanc are writing to the same DB
* Upgrade to PostgreSQL 9.6.1 client library for static builds
* Performance warning if runtime debug assertions are turned on
* Fix issue 62 (use correct type for lo_read() value)

* Fix issue 68 (PostgreSQL plugin needs extra flags to compile)
* Resort to Orthanc framework
* Support of Linux Standard Base, OpenBSD and FreeBSD
