I'm happy to announce the release of Psycopg 2.4.6: a huge thank you to the many contributors.

This is a bugfix release, introducing no new feature. There are several small corrections in different areas (copy, adaptation, use of extra cursors, stability). The biggest improvements are with the Zope adapter: Zope users using previous 2.4.x versions are encouraged to update to version 2.4.6 soon.

Posted by Daniele Varrazzo on October 1, 2012

My goal was to install Psycopg on Windows using MinGW and the PostgreSQL binary package.

Have fun,
