=head2 Changes in DBI 1.52 (svn rev 6734), 30h July 2006
Fixed memory leak (per handle) thanks to Nicholas Clark and Ephraim Dan.
Fixed memory leak (16 bytes per sth) thanks to Doru Theodor Petrescu.
Fixed execute_for_fetch/execute_array to RaiseError thanks to Martin J. Evans.
Fixed for perl 5.9.4. Users of Perl >= 5.9.4 will require DBI >= 1.52.
Updated DBD::File to 0.35 to match the latest release on CPAN.
Added $dbh->statistics_info specification thanks to Brandon Black.
Many changes and additions to profiling:
Profile Path can now uses sane strings instead of obscure numbers,
can refer to attributes, assorted magical values, and even code refs!
Parsing of non-numeric DBI_PROFILE env var values has changed.
Changed DBI::Profile docs extensively - many new features.
See DBI::Profile docs for more information.
=cut
The DBI::Profile changes are significant and powerful, especially for
anyone trying to profile code that doesn't use placeholders.
The "What's New in the Perl DBI" talk I gave at OSCON this year
includes many slides describing the new features of DBI::Profile.
Enjoy!
