Preparing release 2.3.0-beta1

* Merged NEWS-2.3 and NEWS-2.2: 2.0 (pre-async) still makes sense in case
  someone has horrible problems with the new code but 2.3 will just
  substitute 2.2 so having a separated NEWS file doesn't make sense.

* Moved authors and contributors to AUHTORS file.

* README now has pointers to web site and bug tracker.

* Updated MonoDevelop project.

+What's new in psycopg 2.2.2
+---------------------------
+
+* Bux fixes:
+
+  - the call to logging.basicConfig() in pool.py has been dropped: it was
+    messing with some projects using logging (and a library should not
+    initialize the logging system anyway.)
+  - psycopg now correctly handles time zones with seconds in the UTC offset.
+    The old register_tstz_w_secs() function is deprecated and will raise a
+    warning if called.

+
+What's new in psycopg 2.2.0
+---------------------------
+
+This is the first release of the new 2.2 series, supporting not just one but
+two different ways of executing asynchronous queries, thanks to Jan and Daniele
+(with a little help from me and others, but they did 99% of the work so they
+deserve their names here in the news.)
+
+psycopg now supports both classic select() loops and "green" coroutine
+libraries. It is all in the documentation, so just point your browser to
+doc/html/advanced.html.
+
+* Other new features:
+
+  - truncate() method for lobjects.
+  - COPY functions are now a little bit faster.
+  - All builtin PostgreSQL to Python typecasters are now available from the
+    psycopg2.extensions module.
+  - Notifications from the backend are now available right after the execute()
+    call (before client code needed to call isbusy() to ensure NOTIFY
+    reception.)
+  - Better timezone support.
+  - Lots of documentation updates.
+
+* Bug fixes:
+
+  - Fixed some gc/refcounting problems.
+  - Fixed reference leak in NOTIFY reception.
+  - Fixed problem with PostgreSQL not casting string literals to the correct
+    types in some situations: psycopg now add an explicit cast to dates, times
+    and bytea representations.
+  - Fixed TimestampFromTicks() and TimeFromTicks() for seconds >= 59.5.
+  - Fixed spurious exception raised when calling C typecasters from Python
+    ones.
