Hello all,

We've just released new DataObjects gems with various improvements.  
These first are straight from the initial release announcement:

- Improved reconnection in both do_postgres and do_mysql. Mysql server  
gone away errors should now be a thing of the past.
- Improved platform support. It should now be possible to build on for  
example Solaris without any problems.
- Support for specifying an encoding for do_postgres and do_mysql  
connections.
- Be more stricter in the supported SQL. By default do_mysql and  
do_postgres set options now that make them much more ANSI SQL  
compliant. We feel that we should adhere to the standards as close as  
possible.
- Exceptions now show what query caused the problem for all drivers.  
This makes debugging a lot easier.
- Allow for Regexp arguments to be passed in.
- In various areas strings with \0 characters were truncated.

We've also switch to using rake-compiler, which means we are able to  
also create Windows gems for do_mysql and do_postgres when we do a new  
release. There has also been great progress on JRuby, so we hope we  
can also start officially supporting that by the next release. Another  
small change worth mentioning is that do_sqlite3, do_mysql and  
do_postgres now also log the time it took for a query to execute. This  
allows people to find heavy queries very easily and makes doing  
optimizations a whole lot easier.
