 ## Supported Go and PostgreSQL Versions
 
-pgx supports the same versions of Go and PostgreSQL that are supported by their respective teams. For [Go](https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#policy) that is the two most recent major releases and for [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/support/versioning/) the major releases in the last 5 years. This means pgx supports Go 1.20 and higher and PostgreSQL 12 and higher. pgx also is tested against the latest version of [CockroachDB](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/product/).

 pgtype also includes support for custom types implementing the database/sql.Scanner and database/sql/driver.Valuer

+Encoding Typed Nils
+
+pgtype encodes untyped and typed nils (e.g. nil and []byte(nil)) to the SQL NULL value without going through the Codec
+system. This means that Codecs and other encoding logic do not have to handle nil or *T(nil).
+
+However, database/sql compatibility requires Value to be called on T(nil) when T implements driver.Valuer. Therefore,
+driver.Valuer values are only considered NULL when *T(nil) where driver.Valuer is implemented on T not on *T. See
+https://github.com/golang/go/issues/8415 and
+https://github.com/golang/go/commit/0ce1d79a6a771f7449ec493b993ed2a720917870.
