Hello,

I've merged most of what I'd like to release for 2.8 into master, so
that I could generate the whole documentation for you to have a look.
The "what's new" [1] in the docs has all the references:

[1] http://initd.org/psycopg/docs/news.html#what-s-new-in-psycopg-2-8

The features are not necessarily finalised in their current forms, so
I'd like to hear from you if you think improvements can be made. The
main points are:

- the new 'errors' module. About it I have a doubt: we convert
postgres error messages [2] from lower_case to CamelCase because the
latter is the convention for Python class, but maybe leaving as they
are makes more sense? Easier to google for them or grep for them in
the postgres sources maybe?
[2] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/errcodes-appendix.html

- the new properties on 'cursor.description': does it all make sense?

- the new 'connection.info' object: are there other info we could add
or move there? Maybe the new-ish get_dsn_parameters()?

- Anything else?

On the plate for release there is still a couple of small features
(#591: adapting IntEnum right and #782: the capsules) and a bug (#788:
adapting nested empty arrays - aka "the postgres array parser hates
you"). If there is any taker for them you are welcome.

Comments?

Cheers!
