      build with all checkers enabled
  - build with antlr 3.4

2.45
  - Support for setting Enum values from strings in BeanMapper
2.44
  - Add java.io.Closeable to Handle and ResultIterator
2.35
  - Use CGLIB for sql objects instead of dyanmic proxies
  - Support for classes as well as interfaces in the sql object api
  - Add @Transaction for non @Sql* methods in sql objects
  - @CreateSqlObject annotation sql objects to replace Transmogrifier

2.31
  - Add access to ResultSet on FoldController

2.12
  - Registered Mappers on DBi and Handle, and the Query#mapTo addition
  - Sql Object API

2.11
  - Botched release attempt with Maven 3

2.10.2
  - Bugfix: Allow escaping of arbitrary characters in the SQL source, especially allow
            escaping of ':' (which is needed for postgres type casts)

2.10.0
  - minor code cleanups to reduce number of warnings
  - Expose NamedArgumentFinder to allow custom lookup of Arguments. JDBI already provides
    two implementations of the Interface, one for Maps and one for BeanProperties.
  - Add ability to set query timeout (in seconds) on SQLStatement

2.9.3
  - Add <url /> element to pom so can get into central :-)

2.9.2
  - Add ` as a legal SQL character in colon prefix grammar
  - non-existent release, fighting maven

2.9.1
  - First 2.9 series release

2.9.0
  - Make the DefaultMapper public.
  - Aborted, trying to make gpg signing work correctly

2.8.0
  - Add methods to SQLStatement and PreparedBatch that allow adding a set of defines
    to the context in one go.
  - Add ~ { and } as legal characters in the colon prefix grammar

2.7.0
  - A TimingCollector was added which can be registered on the DBI or handle which then
    gets called with nanosecond resolution elapsed time every time a statement is run
    against the data base.
  - re-added some Exception constructors that were accidentially removed in 2.3.0 making
    2.4.0-2.6.x non-backwards compatible.
  - Bind java.util.Date as a timestamp because it contains time and date.
  - BasicHandle constructor is now package private (which it always should have been)
  - add Clirr Report to the Maven Site
  - convert all calls to System.currentTimeMillis() to System.nanoTime(), which is more
    accurate and much more lightweight. As we only calculate time differences, it is
    good enough.
  - fix more compiler warnings
  - add null checks for all object types on SQLStatement
  - move object null checks, that don't require boxing/unboxing
    into the Argument classes. Keep the checks for object/primitive
    types in SQL to avoid boxing/unboxing overhead.

2.6.0
   Fix a number of compiler warnings
   Add new binding methods for SQLStatement
    - Integer, Boolean, Byte, Long, Short  Object
    - double, float, short primitive
   All bind methods taking an object should check
   for null values and bind a NullArgument accordingly.

2.5.0
    Add new binding methods for SQLStatement
      - char types
      - boolean as int (for DBs missing a boolean type)
    Re-add unit test removed in 2.4.9 with unicode escapes

    Deprecated OracleReturning.
    Added CallableStatement support :
      - new method handle.prepareCall
      - new Call class and CallableStatementMapper interface

    Fixes to colon prefix grammar to support empty string literals and
    escaped quotes.

    Allow configuring of externalized sql locating (ie, non-classpath)

1.2.2
    Add callback based transaction handling in order to cleanly support the various
    transactional contexts (CMT, BMT, Spring, Local) etc.

1.2.1
    Via the Spring DBIBean, IDBI#open(HandleCallback) now uses the transactionally bound handle
    if there is one.

1.2.0
    DBIException now extends RuntimeException. The 7 character change major release =)

    Added DBIUtils.closeHandleIfNecessary(Handle, IDBI) to allow for transparently managing
    transactions and connections in Spring whteher tx's are enabled or not.

1.1.2
    Handle#query(String, RowCallback): void no longer starts a transaction
    automagically

    during a major release cycle.

    Handle decorator functionality added to unstable feature set

    JavaBean mapped named parameter support

    Renamed Handle#preparedBatch to Handle#prepareBatch

    Queries return java.util.List instead of java.util.Collection

    Much more sophisticated auto-configuration

    Broke backwards compatibility on handle.query(String, Object) method behavior
        (this is reason why 1.1.0 version increment)
        (read the javadocs if you use this method)

    Removed method Handle#query(String, Object, Object)
        Could lea to confusion with changed behavior mentioned above

1.0.10
    Batch and PreparedBatch Support

    Removed an unused exception

    Fixed bug in named parameter extractor (would miss named params not preceeded by whitespace)

1.0.9
    Better auto-detection of statement type (named, raw sql, etc)

1.0.8
    Spring integration tools

1.0.7
    Provide an interface for the DBI class in order to play nicer with proxies

1.0.6
    Prepared statement re-use was failing on Oracle, fixed.

1.0.5
    Fleshed out the execute(..) methods to take full array of arguments, like
    query.

    Added update(..): int which return number of rows affected

    Lots of internal refactoring

1.0.4
    Was swallowing an exception in one place for the (brief) 1.0.3 release.
    Definately upgrade if using 1.0.3

1.0.3
    Fixed a bug where quoted text could be interpreted as named tokens, bad me.

    Added HandleCallback methods to DBI to manage handle db resources etc for
    clients.

    Removed test dependency on Jakarta commons-io, which had been used, previously,
    for deleting the test database. Tests now depend only on derby and junit, still
    with no runtime dependencies (other than the JDBC driver for your database).

1.0.2
    Added facility for loading connection info from properties file
    for convenience. Totally optional, thankfully.

1.0.1
    Added overloaded argument signatures to callback-based queries

1.0
    Initial Release
