    • Add :disconnect_on_error_codes which allows Postgrex to automatically disconnect and then reconnect on certain errors. This is useful when using Postgrex against systems that support failover, which would emit certain errors on failover. This change allow those errors to be recovered from transparently

    • Support scram-sha-256 authentication from PostgreSQL 10
