Mostly a bugfix release, with as usual a couple of small feature added:

• Download source package
• Signature

Here is what's new in this release:

• connect() supports all the keyword arguments supported by the database
• Added new_array_type() function for easy creation of array typecasters.
• Added support for arrays of hstores and composite types (ticket #66).
• Fixed segfault in case of transaction started with connection lost (and possibly other events).
• Fixed adaptation of Decimal type in sub-interpreters, such as in certain mod_wsgi configurations (ticket #52).
• Rollback connections in transaction or in error before putting them back into a pool. Also discard broken connections (ticket #62).
• Lazy import of the slow uuid module, thanks to Marko Kreen.
• Fixed NamedTupleCursor.executemany() (ticket #65).
• Fixed --static-libpq setup option (ticket #64).
• Fixed interaction between RealDictCursor and named cursors (ticket #67).
• Dropped limit on the columns length in COPY operations (ticket #68).
• Fixed reference leak with arguments referenced more than once in queries (ticket #81).
• Fixed typecasting of arrays containing consecutive backslashes.
• errorcodes map updated to PostgreSQL 9.1.
