170

321
322    2004-03-13 Ported schema classes from DBO2 to DBIx::SQLEngine::Schema
323    namespace. These are not yet in use, but will be supported through
324    additions to the SQLEngine interface in upcoming versions in a way that
325    should not break any existing code.
326
327  Version 0.013
328
329    2004-03-12 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.013.

343
344    2004-03-10 Moved driver-specific subclasses to a new Driver:: namespace
345    and added documentation to each of them. The external public interface
346    is identical, but this may break naughty code that checked ref() or
347    isa(); however the fix is straightforward and this keeps our namespaces
348    clearer. If your code was negatively impacted by this, let me know for
349    future reference!
350
351    2004-02-24 Integrated some patches from Michael Kroll, including new
352    Oracle subclass, and created a new Criteria::StringComparison class as
353    an alternate way of addressing an issue raised in email.

364    stash aliasing, simplifying documentation.
365
366  Version 0.008
367
368    2002-11-02 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.008.

373    at University of Innsbruck.

375    2002-11-02 Added some introductory documentation to
376    Criteria::Comparison.
377
378    2002-11-02 For compatibility with the CPAN installer and automated
379    testing tools, the Makefile.PL now suggests that you set your
380    environment's DBI_DSN, rather than prompting you to enter it
381    interactively in test.pl.
382
383    2002-11-02 Refactored test script into several separate files.
384

397    handler for MySQL and Pg.
398
399  Version 0.006
400
401    2002-03-23 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.006.
402
403    2002-03-23 Added basic support for passing SQL functions and expressions
404    to SQLEngine::Default and SQLEngine::Critera::Comparison in a way that
405    allows them to be used directly, rather than being treated as literals
406    and bound to placeholders.
407
408    2002-03-01 Fixed syntax errors in MySQL subclass. Fixed suspected
409    Perl-version dependency (return from inside eval) in Default detect_any.

412
413    2002-03-01 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.005.
414
415    2002-02-19 Simon: Added Pg catch_query_exception REDO for "out of range
416    0..-1". I don't know what this error means but it always seems to
417    succeed when we retry.

425    DBIx::SQLEngine::Criteria->auto* methods.

428    reconnection.

431    parentheses around single-item list in Criteria::Compound.

435    2002-01-30 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.004.
436
437    2002-01-30 Expanded Pg subclass. Fixed Default's type_info handling to
438    not fall over when a type has multiple info hashes (needed for Pg).
439    Adjusted error handling to call $sth->finish() if there's an exception
440    after we prepare but before we complete retrieving the results.
441
442    2002-01-27 Filled out documentation, especially of the public interface
443    in SQLEngine.pm. Added skeletal Pg subclass.
