Odyssey team is pleased to announce the release of Odyssey 1.3, a scalable multi-threaded connection pooler for PostgreSQL\GreenplumDB designed for the cloud.
In this release: * Support for protocol-level prepared statements in transaction pooling mode. You can enable [pool_reserve_prepared_statement](https://github.com/yandex/odyssey/blob/136dcca1a4fa8f92094b86132133272bbc444b2d/config-examples/odyssey-dev.conf#L87) for a database. For client sessions issuing prepared statements Odyssey will automatically prepare those statements in database processes when necessary. * Standby lag polling.
