Backend support for autocommit removed, per recent discussions. The
...
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.

Okay, I've had it with PQsetdbLogin having slightly different defaults

than PQconnectdb. Reimplement the former to use the same code as the
latter. Fix documentation omissions while at it.

Another round of protocol changes. Backend-to-frontend messages now all
...
have length words. COPY OUT reimplemented per new protocol: it doesn't
need \. anymore, thank goodness. COPY BINARY to/from frontend works,
at least as far as the backend is concerned --- libpq's PQgetline API
is not up to snuff, and will have to be replaced with something that is
null-safe. libpq uses message length words for performance improvement
(no cycles wasted rescanning long messages), but not yet for error
recovery.

Second round of FE/BE protocol changes. Frontend->backend messages now

First phase of FE/BE protocol modifications: new StartupPacket layout
...
with variable-width fields. No more truncation of long user names.
Also, libpq can now send its environment-variable-driven SET commands
as part of the startup packet, saving round trips to server.

Chapter 1. libpq - C Library

The result string length does indeed include the terminating zero byte.
