Today Roji released #Npgsql 8.0.0-preview.1.
At the moment there are not many visible features added but Nikita, Nino and also Shay have have been hacking away with native AOT and reducing Npgsql's binary size, so if you're using AOT and care about binary size, it's prbably worth to have some initial look at it and give feedback.
#dotNET
#PostgreSQL

Use Postgresql as a Pub/Sub server in a .NET app

I thought I would need to do some hacky stuff to make this work, but it just works out of the box thanks to Npgsql

#dotnet #npgsql #Postgresql

Today Roji released #Npgsql 7.0.1 and 6.0.8.
Both are minor bugfix released that shouldn't introduce any breaking changes and only fix a few bugs.
There's nothing in there, that I'd consider a big deal but if you're using Npgsql to connect your #dotNET application to #PostgreSQL and are hit by one of the bugs we've fixed, you might disagree and may want to upgrade your NuGet references.
See here for the fixed issues:
• https://github.com/Npgsql/Npgsql/issues?q=is%3Aissue+milestone%3A7.0.1
• https://github.com/Npgsql/Npgsql/issues?q=is%3Aissue+milestone%3A6.0.8

@davidfowl It's still the middle of the night over here but I'll probably start with backporting https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/pull/4765 and afterwards I'll start working on https://github.com/npgsql/npgsql/issues/4462 which requires quite a bit of internal refactoring and cleanup of #Npgsql

Hey @oskardudycz,
thanks for doing the hard work of digging into parts of Npgsql that we haven't documented yet. I've responded in your PR.
You'll have to replace the call to Npgsql.Replication.Internal.LogicalReplicationConnectionExtensions.CreateLogicalReplicationSlot() at https://github.com/oskardudycz/PostgresOutboxPatternWithCDC.NET/blob/master/PostgresOutbox/Subscriptions/EventsSubscription.cs#L42 with a call to Npgsql.Replication.PgOutputConnectionExtensions.CreatePgOutputReplicationSlot() and then everything should work without patching #Npgsql.

Hi #dotNET folks,
yesterday, Roji released #Npgsql 7.0 the .NET data provider for #PostgreSQL that targets .NET 7.0 and #NpgsqlEFCorePG the corresponding #EFCore provider.
Please check out the release notes at https://www.npgsql.org/doc/release-notes/7.0.html and https://www.npgsql.org/efcore/release-notes/7.0.html for new features and breaking changes.
There's a lot of cool new stuff to try out!

@danielwhite 👋
Maybe a bit less than others since I've been working with the prerelreases for months already because I'm working on stuff that is supposed to be released alongside with it.
