The complete list of changes:

Version 3.0.0

- Major change in UTF-8 handling. If client_encoding is set to UTF-8,
always mark returned Perl strings as utf8. See the pg_enable_utf8 docs
for more information.
[Greg Sabino Mullane, David E. Wheeler, David Christensen]

- Bump DBI requirement to 1.614

- Bump Perl requirement to 5.8.1

- Add new handle attribute, switch_prepared, to control when we stop
using PQexecParams and start using PQexecPrepared. The default is 2:
in previous versions, the effective behavior was 1 (i.e. PQexecParams
was never used).
[Greg Sabino Mullane]

- Better handling of items inside of arrays, particularly bytea arrays.
