# Changelog for persistent-postgresql
## 2.11.0.0
* Foreign Key improvements [#1121] https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/1121
* It is now supported to refer to a table with an auto generated Primary Kay
* It is now supported to refer to non-primary fields, using the keyword `References`
* Implement interval support. [#1053](https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/1053)
* [#1060](https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/1060)
* The QuasiQuoter now supports `OnDelete` and `OnUpdate` cascade options.
* Handle foreign key constraint names over 63 characters. See [#996](https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/996) for details.
* Fix a bug in `upsertSql` query which had not been discovered previously because the query wasn't actually used. [#856](https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/856)
* [#1072](https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/1072) Refactored `test/JSONTest.hs` to use `hspec`
* added `runConn_` to run a db connection and return result
* Renamed `db` to `runConnAssert` in `test/PgInit.hs` for clarity
* Ran `test/ArrayAggTest.hs` (which was previously written but not being run)
* Remove unnecessary deriving of Typeable [#1114](https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/1114)
* Add support for configuring the number of stripes and idle timeout for connection pools [#1098](https://github.com/yesodweb/persistent/pull/1098)
* `PostgresConf` has two new fields to configure these values.
* Its `FromJSON` instance will default stripes to 1 and idle timeout to 600 seconds
* If you're constructing a `PostgresConf` manually, this is a breaking change
* Add `createPostgresqlPoolWithConf` and `withPostgresqlPoolWithConf`, which take a `PostgresConf` for the new configuration.

doesn't need a database connection.
