# pict-rs 0.5.2

## Overview

A quick release to improve postgres support.

### Changes

- [Support TLS in Postgres Connections](#support-tls-in-postgres-connections)
- [Compiler Version Requirements](#compiler-version-requirements)


## Upgrade Notes

There's no significant changes from 0.5.1, so upgrading should be as simple as pulling a new version
of pict-rs.


## Descriptions

### Support TLS in Postgres Connections

The postgres repo now supports some new options to enable connecting via TLS. If the postgres
server's certificate is not generally trusted, a CA certificate can be provided to pict-rs to allow
it to trust the postgres connection.

If the postgres endpoint uses TLS and has a publicly trusted certificate, the configuration can be
updated to simply add `use_tls = true`
```toml
[repo]
type = 'postgres'
url = 'postgres://pictrs:1234@localhost:5432/pictrs'
use_tls = true
```
or with environment variables
```bash
PICTRS__REPO__TYPE=postgres
PICTRS__REPO__URL=postgres://pictrs:1234@localhost:5432/pictrs
PICTRS__REPO__USE_TLS=true
```

If the server uses a self-signed certificate, the CA's certificate can be added to pict-rs' trusted
CAs.
```toml
[repo]
type = 'postgres'
url = 'postgres://pictrs:1234@localhost:5432/pictrs'
use_tls = true
certificate_file = '/path/to/ca/certificate.crt'
```
or with environment variables
```bash
PICTRS__REPO__TYPE=postgres
PICTRS__REPO__URL=postgres://pictrs:1234@localhost:5432/pictrs
PICTRS__REPO__USE_TLS=true
PICTRS__REPO__CERTIFICATE_FILE=/path/to/ca/certificate.crt
```

### Compiler Version Requirements

pict-rs 0.5.2 now takes advantage of rust's native support for AFIT (Async Fn In Trait) for the
store trait. This trait already was not object-safe, so using AFIT does not come with any downsides.
This does mean that the minimum supported rust version for building pict-rs is now 1.75, which
released in December 2023.
