In working on my book, I have found another problem with libpgeasy. It
uses the old-style PQsetdb() arg parameters, rather than the newer
opt=val PQconnectdb() parameters.
I have changed libpgeasy to use this new style. This change will appear
in 7.0.1. It is not optimal to do this in a minor release, but I have
to document it in my book, and it should be the new format so it can
accept username/password.
Also, I had changed the connectdb() parameters in 7.0, so everyone
should remember what to change. :-) I suspect it is not used by too
many people yet because it just make it out of /contrib in 7.0.
I considered allowing two connection functions for backward
compatibility, but connect() was the natural choice.
Sorry for any confusion this causes. The change will be documented
in the 7.0.1 release notes.
