# 4.18.2 (March 4, 2024)

Fix CVE-2024-27289

SQL injection can occur when all of the following conditions are met:

1. The non-default simple protocol is used.
2. A placeholder for a numeric value must be immediately preceded by a minus.
3. There must be a second placeholder for a string value after the first placeholder; both must be on the same line.
4. Both parameter values must be user-controlled.

Thanks to Paul Gerste for reporting this issue.

Fix CVE-2024-27304

SQL injection can occur if an attacker can cause a single query or bind message to exceed 4 GB in size. An integer
overflow in the calculated message size can cause the one large message to be sent as multiple messages under the
attacker's control.

Thanks to Paul Gerste for reporting this issue.

## Potentially Breaking Changes

Technically, two changes are breaking changes, but in practice these are extremely unlikely to break existing code.

* Conn.Begin and Conn.BeginTx return a Tx interface instead of the internal dbTx struct. This is necessary for the Conn.Begin method to signature as other methods that begin a transaction.
* Add Conn() to Tx interface. This is necessary to allow code using a Tx to access the *Conn (and pgconn.PgConn) on which the Tx is executing.

## Fixes

* Releasing a busy connection closes the connection instead of returning an unusable connection to the pool
* Do not mutate config.Config.OnNotification in connect

# 4.0.1 (September 19, 2019)

* Fix statement cache cleanup.
* Corrected daterange OID.
* Fix Tx when committing or rolling back multiple times in certain cases.
* Improve documentation.

# 4.0.0 (September 14, 2019)

v4 is a major release with many significant changes some of which are breaking changes. The most significant are
included below.

* Simplified establishing a connection with a connection string.
* All potentially blocking operations now require a context.Context. The non-context aware functions have been removed.
* OIDs are hard-coded for known types. This saves the query on connection.
* Context cancellations while network activity is in progress is now always fatal. Previously, it was sometimes recoverable. This led to increased complexity in pgx itself and in application code.
* Go modules are required.
* Errors are now implemented in the Go 1.13 style.
* `Rows` and `Tx` are now interfaces.
* The connection pool as been decoupled from pgx and is now a separate, included package (github.com/jackc/pgx/v4/pgxpool).
* pgtype has been spun off to a separate package (github.com/jackc/pgtype).
* pgproto3 has been spun off to a separate package (github.com/jackc/pgproto3/v2).
* Logical replication support has been spun off to a separate package (github.com/jackc/pglogrepl).
* Lower level PostgreSQL functionality is now implemented in a separate package (github.com/jackc/pgconn).
* Tests are now configured with environment variables.
* Conn has an automatic statement cache by default.
* Batch interface has been simplified.
* QueryArgs has been removed.
