Mathesar 0.2.4 Release

This release contains targeted fixes for bugs within Mathesar's new UNIX socket connection feature, as released in version 0.2.3.

Visit the 0.2.4 release notes for full details and installation instructions.

Unix socket bug fixes

In version 0.2.3, users experienced the following issues when connecting via Unix socket:

• Inability to create new databases when Mathesar's internal database used a Unix socket connection #4481.
• Failure to connect when the internal database used a Unix socket connection with an explicit port specified #4473.
• Problems working with data explorations whose base tables were connected via Unix socket #4473.

These issues have all been resolved. Additionally, Unix socket connections no longer require URL encoding. Instead, they must now be provided unencoded:

• ❌ %2Fvar%2Frun%2Fpostgresql
• ✅ /var/run/postgresql
