2010-02-06  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* Version 5.0.0: First release of CLSQL to formally and
	consistently support non-ASCII strings with encoding of external
	formats for SQL strings. UFFI version 1.8.1 is higher is required.

	This change may introduce some differences in string handling for
	people who are using non-ASCII encoded characters.  Thus, because
	of the risk of BACKWARD INCOMPATIBILITY, the major version number
	was incremented with this release.

2010-02-06  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* tests/test-i18n.lisp: Bind UFFI:*DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT*
	for testing multibyte encodings.

2010-02-05  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* sql/utils.lisp: Reading #\no-break_space causes an
	error for non-unicode SBCL. Conditionalize read of

2010-01-29  Nathan Bird  <nathan@acceleration.net>
	* tests/*.lisp: A lot more tests and test setup tweaks.

10 Dec 2009  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	Large patch from Thijs Oppermann <thijso+clsql@gmail.com> to add
	support for normalized view classes.  When having view class that
	inherit from others, CLSQL by default builds tab all the columns
	from the parent in the child. This patch is meant to normali so
	that a join is done on the primary keys of the concerned tables to
	get a set.

10 Dec 2009  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* sql/time.lisp: Patch from Oleg Tihonov to SYNTAX-PARSE-ISO-8601

04 Sep 2009  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* Version 4.1.1
	* sql/fdml.lisp: Rework do-query to use supplied database
	parameter when passed a sql-object-query
	(thanks to JTK <jetmonk@gmail.com>)
	* sql/generic-postgresql.lisp: Allow optional connect
	parameters for postgresql databases (thanks to Stephen Compall)
	* doc/ref-{clsql,connect}.xml, sql/db-interfaces.lisp:
	Fix transposed letters (thanks to Stephen Compall)
	* db-mysql/Makefile: Add directory for MacPorts mysql5 port

	David Thompson)
	* clsql-mysql.asd/db-mysql/mysql-loader.lisp: Commit
	patch from Andreas Franke to honor windows drive letter
	when loading clsql_mysql C library.

31 Aug 2009  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* Version 4.1.0
	* db-mysql/mysql-{sql,api}.lisp,db-mysql/clsql_mysql.c:
	Latest version of mysqlclient once again changed the C
	structures from which the mysql backend reads data.
	Rather than adding yet another structure definition which
	is enabled by the client version as read by mysql-client-info.lisp,
	the mysql backend has been re-written to ignore in the internal
	C structures. Instead, C wrapper functions for slot access have
	been added to clsql_mysql.c and are used by mysql-sql.lisp to
	access the internals of C structures. This adds a bit of overhead,
	but completely separates the lisp code from trying to keep up
	with the continually changing internal C structure of mysql.
	All tests in the test suite executed correctly with this change.

31 Aug 2009  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* Version 4.0.6
	* sql/database.lisp: Fix syntax on process-lock (thanks to

	selections (patch from unknown source).
	
11 Dec 2007  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* Version 4.0.3
	* sql/metaclasses.lisp: Unify base-table processing by extracting 
	the correct code from initialize-instance :around into the helper
	function set-view-table-slot. Call that function also in
	reinitialize-instance :around replacing erroneous code discovered
	by Josh Feinstein.
	
17 Nov 2007  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* BUGS: Add note about benefit of using configure file to create

	* Version 4.0.0: Major version increase to warn of potential
	backwards incompatibility.
	* NEWS: Document potentional backward incompatible changes
	* db-mysql/mysql-sql.lisp: Changes session SQL mode to ANSI immediately
	after connecting. This may break compatibility with some applications
	who are using non-ANSI features with MySQL. This change is required to
	properly support view-classes using a string as their :base-table
	attribute. This allows users to specify the case of table names. 
	This is feature is even	more essential for MySQL itself since MySQL
	uses case-sensitive table names. Use connection-based database-create
	and database-destroy rather than trying to invoke command-line mysql 
	utility. Remove automatic upcasing of strings from list-indices. 
	* db-postgresql/postgresql-sql.lisp: Use connection-based 
	database-create	and database-destroy rather than trying to invoke
	command-line utilities.
	* db-postgresql-socket/postgresql-socket-sql.lisp: Use
	database-execute-command rather than execute-command for
	database-{create,destroy}. Connect to postgres database
	rather than template1 for those database creation/deletion.
	* sql/metaclasses.lisp: Store the string value of :base-table if a 
	string is provided. Perform sql-escape at time of view-table name
	creation.
	* tests/test-init.lisp: Use "ej_join" as a string, rather than a 
	symbol, since "ej_join"	is specified as :base-table. Clear the
	expression output-cache in case the code for generating sql output
	has changed.
	* test/test-oodml.lisp: whitespace fix
	* sql/ooddl.lisp: Use quoted string for primary key constraint if
	table name is specified as a string.
	* sql/oodml.lisp: Don't convert a string view-table name to database's 
	default case.
	* sql/expressions.lisp: Properly handle table and attribute identifiers
	when they are a string. Do not change case of symbols to match database
	default case.
	* sql/operations.lisp: Change multiword symbols to upper case.
	* sql/fddl.lisp: Quote base-table if a string to preserve case
	for drop-table and create-table.
	* tests/test-syntax.lisp: Add tests of low-level string attribute
	identifiers.
	
20 Jul 2007  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>

	default database (reported by Saurabh Nanda and Chaitanya Gupta)
	* doc/ref-connect.lisp: Update the documentation to WITH-DATABASE to
	emphasis that make-default has a default value of nil.
	* sql/transaction.lisp: Adjust commit/rollback messages for Microsoft
	SQL Server. (patch from Nathan Bird)
	* sql/metaclasses.lisp: Use finalize-inheritance hack on SBCL because

	* db-mysql/mysql-loader.lisp: Revert previous change since libmysql is
	not dynamically loaded on Windows
	
22 Jun 2007  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>
	* Version 3.8.4
	* db-mysql/mysql-loader.lisp: Do not bother loading libmysqlclient since
	that library is dymically linked to clsql-mysql library. Thus, the mysql
	library will be automatically loaded. This has only been tested on Linux,
	thus far.

29 May 2007  Kevin Rosenberg <kevin@rosenberg.net>

	available. Applications directly using low-level POSTGRESQL package
	are recommended to use the new PGSQL name.
	* db-oracle/oracle-{api,sql}.lisp, sql/{expressions,loop-extension}.lisp,

	* Updated test-clsql.cl to use automated testing with a config
	file
	* Changed return types of field accessors from cstring to
	(* :unsigned-char).  This prepares for being able to use specified
	type conversions when taking field data into lisp.
	* Added field-type processing for most interfaces. Not done yet.
	
23 Mar 2002 Kevin Rosenberg (kevin@rosenberg.net)
	* doc/ref.sgml: Updated MAP-QUERY example to use
	*read-default-float-format* (John Foderaro)
	* Extensive work to foreign library loaders and .system files to
	check for successful loading of foreign libraries.
	* Modified test-clsql.cl to allow more modularity and
	automated testing in future release.
        * mysql/mysql-sql.lisp: Added field types
	
01 Jan 2002 Kevin Rosenberg (kevin@rosenberg.net)
	* mysql/mysql-sql.lisp:
	- Added support for Allegro CL and Lispworks using UFFI layer
	- Changed database-connect to use mysql-real-connect. This way,
	  can avoid using double (unwind-protect)
	- Changed database-connect to have MySQL library allocate space
	  for MYSQL structure. This will make the code more robust in
	  the event that MySQL library changes the size of the mysql-mysql
	  structure.
