Pgpool-II is a tool designed to enhance the capabilities of PostgreSQL, offering features such as connection pooling, load balancing, and automatic failover. The enhancements have been implemented to resolve issues related to unstable DNS lookups and backend failures in specific environments. The tool now attempts to retry up to five times in the event that getaddrinfo() encounters an EAI_AGAIN error. The health check calls connect_inet_domain_socket_by_port() with the retry flag configured to false. The tool addresses an issue that resulted in an inappropriate notice message being printed when commands were written to the IPC socket. Additional enhancements comprise a resolution for a resource leak in pool_push_pending_data, a correction for the malfunctioning scram-sha-256 authentication on big-endian machines, and an amendment for a typographical error in the comments of pgpool.conf.
