DBD::PG 2.18.0 released

[Greg Sabino Mullane <greg(at)endpoint(dot)com>]

Version 2.18.0 of DBD::Pg, the Perl interface to Postgres,
has just been released. This fixes some important memory leaks, 
adds a true cancel() method (per DBI spec), and fixes some 
other minor bugs.

The new version is available from CPAN, of course. Checksums:
