It's in. I've appended the current change list (but there's more to add yet).
Thanks for the feedback.
Tim.
The proxy now supports non-lazy (synchronous) prepare, positioned
updates (for selects containing 'for update'), PlRPC config set
via attributes, and accurate propagation of errors, all thanks
to Steven Hirsch (plus a minor fix from Sean McMurray and doc
tweaks from Michael A Chase).
The DBI_AUTOPROXY env var can now hold the full dsn of the proxy driver
plus attributes, like "dbi:Proxy(proxy_foo=>1):host=...".
Added TaintIn & TaintOut attributes to give finer control over
tainting thanks to Bradley Baetz.
The fetchall_arrayref method, when called with a $maxrows parameter,
no longer gives an error if called again after all rows have been
fetched. This simplifies application logic when fetching in batches.
Also added batch-fetch while() loop example to the docs.
The connect() RaiseError/PrintError message now includes the username.
Changed "last handle unknown or destroyed" warning to be a trace message.
Updated dbish/DBI::Shell to Tom Lowery's much improved version.
Updated some minor doc issues thanks to H.Merijn Brand.
Updated Makefile.PL example in DBI::DBD thanks to KAWAI,Takanori.
Documented $dbh = $sth->{Database} attribute.
Documented $dbh->connected(...) post-connection call when subclassing.
Fixed execute_array() example thanks to Peter van Hardenberg.
The CursorName attribute now defaults to undef and not an error.
Removed forced requirement for drivers to implement DESTROY methods.
DBI::Profile changes:
Setup fixes thanks to Sam Tregar.
Added $DBI::err (etc) tied variable lookup time to profile
Added time for DESTROY method into parent handles profile (used to be ignored)
Changes for driver authors, not required but strongly recommended:
Change DBIS to DBIc_DBISTATE(imp_xxh) [or imp_dbh, imp_sth etc]
Change DBILOGFP to DBIc_LOGPIO(imp_xxh) [or imp_dbh, imp_sth etc]
Any function from which all instances of DBIS and DBILOGFP are
removed can also have dPERLINTERP removed (a good thing).
All use of the DBIh_EVENT* macros should be removed.
