- Added support for the :class:`postgresql.JSONB` datatype when
using psycopg2 2.5.4 or greater, which features native conversion
of JSONB data so that SQLAlchemy's converters must be disabled;
additionally, the newly added psycopg2 extension
``extras.register_default_jsonb`` is used to establish a JSON
deserializer passed to the dialect via the ``json_deserializer``
argument. Also repaired the Postgresql integration tests which
weren't actually round-tripping the JSONB type as opposed to the
JSON type. Pull request courtesy Mateusz Susik.
- Repaired the use of the "array_oid" flag when registering the
HSTORE type with older psycopg2 versions < 2.4.3, which does not
support this flag, as well as use of the native json serializer
hook "register_default_json" with user-defined ``json_deserializer``
on psycopg2 versions < 2.5, which does not include native json.
