    2004-04-09 Merged many methods from DBIx::DBO2::RecordSet into
    Record::Set.

    2004-04-09 Added Record::Trait::Accessors and increased the minimum
    version of Class::MakeMethods to 1.006 to get the Autoload interface it
    uses.

    2004-04-09 Added Record::Trait::Cached based on
    DBIx::DBO2::Record::Cached. Added cache packages
    DBIx::SQLEngine::Cache::TrivialCache and

    2004-04-09 Added Record::Trait::Hooks based on DBIx::DBO2::Record and
    built a few tests.

    2004-04-09 Initial working support for multiply-combinable Record class
    traits. Moved traits into nested namespaces Driver::Trait and
    Record::Trait.

    2004-04-09 Revised synopsis and description to include more recent
    features.

    2004-04-09 Added support for sql_select( columns =>
    \%colnames_as_aliases ) and sql_select( tables => { "table1.column1" =>
    "table2.column2" } ), both inspired by the interface described in the
    Sql::Simple documentation.

    2004-04-08 Fixed tight loop detection (self-reference) in
    CloneWithParameters.

    2004-04-06 Beginning support for multiply-combinable Record class

    directly.

    2004-03-30 Changed Criteria::HashGroup to asciibetically sort the hash
    keys, so that criteria are predictable for testing and better statement
    handle caching.

    2004-03-26 Fixed Mixin::SeqTable's seq_fetch_current, which returned

    2004-03-13 Fixed spacing problem for long column names in
    sql_create_columns, curtesy of a patch from Ron Savage.

    2004-03-13 Ported schema classes from DBO2 to DBIx::SQLEngine::Schema
    namespace. These are not yet in use, but will be supported through
    additions to the SQLEngine interface in upcoming versions in a way that
    should not break any existing code.

  Version 0.013

    2004-03-12 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.013.

    2004-03-12 Fixed another minor POD error.

    2004-03-10 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.011.

    2004-03-10 Moved driver-specific subclasses to a new Driver:: namespace
    and added documentation to each of them. The external public interface
    is identical, but this may break naughty code that checked ref() or
    isa(); however the fix is straightforward and this keeps our namespaces
    clearer. If your code was negatively impacted by this, let me know for
    future reference!

    2004-02-24 Integrated some patches from Michael Kroll, including new
    Oracle subclass, and created a new Criteria::StringComparison class as
    an alternate way of addressing an issue raised in email.

    stash aliasing, simplifying documentation.

    at University of Innsbruck.

    2002-11-02 Added some introductory documentation to
    Criteria::Comparison.

    2002-11-02 For compatibility with the CPAN installer and automated
    testing tools, the Makefile.PL now suggests that you set your
    environment's DBI_DSN, rather than prompting you to enter it
    interactively in test.pl.

    2002-11-02 Refactored test script into several separate files.

    2002-11-02 Added initial basic transaction support.

  Version 0.007

    2002-05-24 Collect and return the results from visit_* methods.

    2002-05-24 Added DBIx::SQLEngine::Criteria::Not, contributed by
    Christian Glahn at University of Innsbruck.

    2002-04-10 Added "fetch without execute" to the catch_query_exception
    handler for MySQL and Pg.

  Version 0.006

    2002-03-23 Added basic support for passing SQL functions and expressions
    to SQLEngine::Default and SQLEngine::Critera::Comparison in a way that
    allows them to be used directly, rather than being treated as literals
    and bound to placeholders.

    2002-03-01 Fixed syntax errors in MySQL subclass. Fixed suspected
    Perl-version dependency (return from inside eval) in Default detect_any.

  Version 0.005

    2002-02-19 Simon: Added Pg catch_query_exception REDO for "out of range
    0..-1". I don't know what this error means but it always seems to
    succeed when we retry.

    2002-02-10 Simon: Modified format of error messages in Default.pm

    2002-02-02 Eliminated complaint about empty subclauses in
    Criteria::Compound

    2002-01-31 Extracted Default sql_* criteria handling into

    2002-01-30 Expanded Pg subclass. Fixed Default's type_info handling to
    not fall over when a type has multiple info hashes (needed for Pg).
    Adjusted error handling to call $sth->finish() if there's an exception
    after we prepare but before we complete retrieving the results.

    2002-01-27 Filled out documentation, especially of the public interface
    in SQLEngine.pm. Added skeletal Pg subclass.

  Version 0.003

    2002-01-25 Released as DBIx-SQLEngine-0.003

    2002-01-21 Fixed AnyData sql_create_column_text_long_type.

    AnyDBD to not require non-standard patch.

  Version 0.001

    2001-06-28 Use DBIx::AnyDBD for platform-specific issues. Moved
    SQL-generation code from Table to SQLEngine.

    2001-06-28 Ported some Criteria classes from earlier code into the new
    SQLEngine class hierarchy.

    2001-06-27 New version moved into separate DBIx::DBO2 namespace. Renamed
    Adaptor to SQLEngine. Flattened class hierarchy; we're only going to
    support DBI. Expunged old code. Switched to new Class::MakeMethods
