=head2 Changes in DBI 1.612 (svn r14254) 16th July 2010
NOTE: This is a minor release for the DBI core but a major release for
DBD::File and drivers that depend on it, like DBD::DBM and DBD::CSV.
This is also the first release where the bulk of the development work
has been done by other people. I'd like to thank (in no particular order)
Jens Rehsack, Martin J. Evans, and H.Merijn Brand for all their contributions.
Fixed DBD::File's {ChopBlank} handling (it stripped \s instead of space
only as documented in DBI) (H.Merijn Brand)
Fixed DBD::DBM breakage with SQL::Statement (Jens Rehsack, fixes RT#56561)
Fixed DBD::File file handle leak (Jens Rehsack)
Fixed problems in 50dbm.t when running tests with multiple
dbms (Martin J. Evans)
Fixed DBD::DBM bugs found during tests (Jens Rehsack)
Fixed DBD::File doesn't find files without extensions under some
circumstances (Jens Rehsack, H.Merijn Brand, fixes RT#59038)
Changed Makefile.PL to modernize with CONFLICTS, recommended dependencies
and resources (Jens Rehsack)
Changed DBI::ProfileDumper to rename any existing profile file by
appending .prev, instead of overwriting it.
Changed DBI::ProfileDumper::Apache to work in more configurations
including vhosts using PerlOptions +Parent.
Add driver_prefix method to DBI (Jens Rehsack)
Added more tests to 50dbm_simple.t to prove optimizations in
DBI::SQL::Nano and SQL::Statement (Jens Rehsack)
Updated tests to cover optional installed SQL::Statement (Jens Rehsack)
Synchronize API between SQL::Statement and DBI::SQL::Nano (Jens Rehsack)
Merged some optimizations from SQL::Statement into DBI::SQL::Nano
(Jens Rehsack)
Added basic test for DBD::File (H.Merijn Brand, Jens Rehsack)
Extract dealing with Perl SQL engines from DBD::File into
DBI::DBD::SqlEngine for better subclassing of 3rd party non-db DBDs
(Jens Rehsack)
Updated and clarified documentation for finish method (Tim Bunce).
Changes to DBD::File for better English and hopefully better
explanation (Martin J. Evans)
Update documentation of DBD::DBM to cover current implementation,
tried to explain some things better and changes most examples to
preferred style of Merijn and myself (Jens Rehsack)
Added developer documentation (including a roadmap of future plans)
for DBD::File
=cut
I'd like to highlight again the great work done by Jens Rehsack,
Martin J. Evans, and H.Merijn Brand to enhance the functionality
of file based DBI drivers in this release.
The release today is an extra birthday present for Jens! :)
Enjoy!
Tim.
