> Fixed unescaping of newlines in DBI::ProfileData thanks to Sam Tregar.
> Fixed t/40profile.t to not use Time::HiRes.
> Fixed t/06attrs.t to not be locale sensitive, reported by Christian Hammers.
> Fixed sgi compiler warnings, reported by Paul Blake.
> Fixed Taint bug with fetchrow_hashref with help from Bradley Baetz.
> Fixed $dbh->{Active} for DBD::Proxy, reported by Bob Showalter.
> Fixed STORE to not clear error during nested DBI call,

> Fixed DBI::PurePerl error clearing behaviour.
> Fixed build using make -j4, reported by Jonathan Leffler.
