Npgsql2 source code mirror is now available on github

Hello, all! Npgsql2 source code hosted on pgfoundry  is now mirrored on github:  https://github.com/franciscojunior/Npgsql2 What does this mean to developers and users? You have another way of access to latest Npgsql2 code through github interface I hope it will be easier to developers and users to provide patches. You can make forks and pull requests. Please, if you weren't being able to access Npgsql2 source code because of cvs, please give it a try on this new interface and let me know if you have any problems. Thanks github for providing this service to open source community. 

Fixed! LOG: unexpected EOF on client connection

Hi all! Since we implemented connection pool in Npgsql, we received some complaints about EOF log messages being generated on Postgresql logs when using Npgsql. This was caused by Npgsql not sending the proper terminate message to Postgresql on pooled connections when the application terminated or more specifically when the assembly was unloaded. This is a long time problem with Npgsql connection pool. I even talked about it in the past . Up to now, I had no idea about how to fix that as I wasn't able to close the connections in the pool. When I tried to put a finalizer in NpgsqlConnectorPool, which would be triggered when the assembly was unloaded, I received object already disposed exceptions when trying to send something to the stream. That's when I came up with the "excellent" idea of subclassing the networkstream class and override its Dispose method so that I could send the postgresql terminate message before it was disposed! :) It worked like a charm!
