We have released Psycopg 2.8.3, which includes a slight change to the logical replication.
Choosing the right frequency to send replication feedback messages from the client to the server was previously the developer's responsibility, with too many feedback messages being a waste of bandwidth and server resources, too few slowing down WAL cleanup and possibly preventing a server graceful shutdown.
Psycopg 2.8.1, 2.8.2 released

Hello,
We have just released Psycopg 2.8.2; a few days ago Psycopg 2.8.1 was released.
Some of the bugs addressed are ordinary teething problem with the 2.8 release, but an important change landed with 2.8.2: binary packages now ship with OpenSSL 1.1 instead of 1.0. This should fix concurrency problems on connection experienced both on Windows and Linux. Many thanks to Matthew Brett and Jason Erickson for this improvement!

After about two years from the previous major release, psycopg 2.8 is finally here!
Among the highlights, PostgreSQL errors are now mapped to Python exceptions for a more idiomatic way to handle them. Several additions allow a better insight of the connection status and query results.
Behind the scene, asynchronous communication and concurrency received several improvements, and dropping support for older versions of Python gave the chance to refactor and modernise the codebase (with the especial help from Jon Dufresne who ruthlessly butchered our code into a streamlined pulp).
Thank you very much to everyone contributing so far. Happy hacking!

We have released psycopg2 release 2.7.3.1 as a new build of psycopg 2.7.3. The new build only affects the wheel packages and contains no change in the code.
The release 2.7.3.1 fixes psycopg2-wheels bug #2 which was in turn caused by auditwheel bug #80, resulting in incompatibility with glibc 2.26. The problem only affects Linux wheels users, it doesn't affect Windows, OSX, or user installing psycopg2 from source.
