        + bugfix: Fix bug in get_result looping over dbresults where no result
          rows are returned from queries with newer versions of FreeTDS
          https://github.com/pymssql/pymssql/issues/137
          Fixed by git commit: 5033df54c1f67ad92718b4852659b07708765c9b
        * version 1.0.2

Tue Apr 23 23:00:00 2009  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@gmail.com>
        + bugfix: fixed rare quoting bug in select_db()
        + feature: added 'max_conn' parameter to pymssql.connect() and
          _mssql.connect() which defaults to 25, thanks Daniel Watrous
          <dwmaillist@gmail.com>
        * nagios-plugin update - thanks Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>:
          + Include a -P port option, to avoid having to passing it with the
            host name
          + Fix the encoding of the comments; utf-8 is the declared encoding
            of the file and must be followed
          + Fix a typo in the SQL syntax
          + Connect explicitly to the "master" database (required since 1.0.0)
          + Improve perfdata output.
        * version 1.0.2

Tue Apr 21 22:56:00 2009  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@gmail.com>
        * mssqldbmodule.c:
          + bugfix in format_and_run_query(): query strings were sometimes
            overwritten with garbage due to DECREF in wrong place; thanks
            Igor Nazarenko <igor.n.nazarenko@gmail.com>
          + bugfix in get_result(): if a query batch contained DECLARE or
            possibly other T-SQL statements, no results were returned
            thanks Kay Schluehr <schluehrk@users.sourceforge.net>
          + bugfix in execute_scalar(): check if there are any columns in result
          + bugfix: check for FAIL after each dbnextrow()
          + feature: Add support for bigint - #2660972; thanks Alexandr
            Zamaraev <shura_zam@users.sourceforge.net>
        * pymssql.c:
          + bugfix in execute(): if execute is called without second argument,
            don't treat '%' in query string as formatting character; restored
            compatibility with common sense and with pymssql < 1.0.0; thanks
            Corey Bertram <corey.bertram@monitoredsecurity.com>,
            Wes McKinney <wesmckinn@gmail.com>
          + feature: it is possible to specify 'as_dict' to pymssql.connect
            and rows will be returned as dictionaries instead of tuples;
            thanks Daniel Watrous <dwmaillist@gmail.com>

Thu Jan 30 18:36:00 2009  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@gmail.com>

	  + fixed some compiler warnings
	* pymssql.py:
	  + execute() failed, thanks Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>
	  + critical charset updates, thanks Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org>

Mon Sep 25 20:18:00 2006  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@gmail.com>
	* setup.py: fix for Fink (http://Fink.SF.Net) under OS X (thanks
	  Terrence Brannon <metaperl@gmail.com>)

Sun Sep 24 10:44:00 2006  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@gmail.com>
	* setup.py:
	  + it can now dynamically determine the path to SQL 2000 Developer
	    Tools, if win32api and win32con modules are available
	  + simple Python version check to prevent most frequently asked
	    question
	  + version 0.8.0

Wed Sep 13 01:20:00 2006  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@gmail.com>
	* mssqldbmodule.c:

	* pymssql should be able to build on cygwin (thanks
	  rob@robnet.com)
	* docstring fixes, webpage doc updates

Tue May 15 03:18:00 2006  Jooncheol Park <exman@users.sourceforge.net>
	* setup.py, PKG-INFO, README: license change to LGPL

Wed Mar 15 08:18:00 2006  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>
	* pymssql.py: fixed datetime issue (thanks Jan Finell
	  <jfinell@regionline.fi>)

Fri Feb 24 16:11:00 2006  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>
	* mssqldbmodule.c: fixed typos in docstrings (thanks Konstantin
	  Veretennicov)

Tue Dec 27 15:14:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>
	* mssqldbmodule.c: bug fixes, improvements and cleanups:
	  + implemented set_login_timeout() and set_query_timeout() functions;
	  + eliminated unnecessary ODBC code
	  + cleaned up exception code and improved exception handling,
	    SF bug #1335560
	  + web page now correctly mentions FreeTDS 0.63 as the minimal
	    required version
	  + stdmsg() method is now deprecated; all errors are concatenated
	    in errmsg()
	  + implemented min_error_severity: all errors at or above that
	    level will raise the exception; if the severity is lower, they
	    will just accumulate in errmsg()
	  + added setting coltype to NUMBER for float types (found by
	    Jakub Labath)
	* setup.py:
	  + reincarnated ntwdblib.dll which turned out to be redistributable
	    after all; pymssql includes the latest version that allows
	    connecting to SQL 2005; eliminated some stupid notes from the
	    web page and will ease set up process for users
	* apitest_mssql.py: new file
	  + provided by Jakub Labath, this file performs some basic DB-API
	    compliance tests; it immediately triggered the unicode bug
	* version 0.7.4

Sat Oct 22 19:41:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>
	* mssqldbmodule.c: multithreading improvements - from now on pymssql
	  is thread-safe, it releases GIL in proper places; idea and initial
	  patch by John-Peter Lee (thanks very much!)

Mon Sep 5 23:29:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>
	* setup.py: fixed an installation issue regarding importing pymssql
	  that imports _mssql which isn't installed, and blows up with
	  AttributeError... (thanks Vsevolod Stakhov)
	* version 0.7.3

Mon Sep 5 00:32:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>
	* version 0.7.2

Sun Sep 4 23:12:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: improvements and cleanups:
	  + improved error handling: if the db function fails, the exception
	    is thrown automatically and immediately; no need to check
	    return value of conn.query(), just catch _mssql.error
	  + improved error handling: it is possible that MS SQL calls message
	    handler twice; now _mssql catches and reports both of them at once
	  + improved error handling: in some cases _mssql.query() returns
	    success but the results are invalid; now it is handled properly
	    (example "SELECT CAST(1234.5678 AS NUMERIC(4,2))")
	  + added proper connection initialization: a number of SET statements
	    are executed upon connection setup to set sensible SQL behaviour;
	    see source for details; one needs to unset them if needed
	  + implemented min_{message|error}_severity as it is in php_mssql
	    to ignore unimportant errors; it's work in progress
	  + new function rmv_lcl() initially by Mark Pettit, to strip locale
	    crap from MONEY values converted to SQLCHAR while generating
	    Decimal object
	  + other small fixes, improvements and janitorial work

Tue Aug 30 00:16:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: new features:
	  + large numbers (DECIMAL, NUMERIC, MONEY, SMALLMONEY) are returned
	    as Decimal object -- this helps maintain accuracy; thanks to
	    Mark Pettit for help
	  + COMPUTE clauses are supported (it wouldn't fetch data for those
	    columns before)
	  + ROWID type has been removed from _mssql module
	  + new type DECIMAL to denote Decimal objects in result set

Mon Aug 29 21:59:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: some improvements:
	  + BIT values are returned as Python bool objects, suggested by
	    Mark Pettit
	  + close() method returns None on success (not to be used at all)
	    and throws exception on error
	  + fixed use of uninitialized value when parsing SMALLDATETIME
	  + another round of performance improvements in GetRow() - eliminated
	    unnecessary data conversions and unneeded DB-Lib calls
	  + janitorial fixes

Mon Aug 22 04:35:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: massive diff:
	  + fixed bug with fetching query results of some data types;
	    found by Mark Pettit
	  + fixed IndexError when query returns no rows; patch by Jakub Labath
	  + rewritten function GetRow() that fetches query results: performance
	    improvements, better handling of result data types; datetime
	    is returned as datetime object instead of string (it's more
	    consistent with other values -- and more pythonic :)
	  + eliminated DetermineRowSize()
	  + cleanups: _mssql_init() further improvements w.r.t. Python API
	  + janitorial fixes
	  + added licensing information
	* pymssql.py: docstring changed to look nicer with help()
	* version 0.7.2

Thu Aug 11 02:12:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: improved module init function: added doc string,
	  made compliant with Python 2.0+ module interface (there are no more
	  coredumps on help())
	* mssqldbmodule.c: documented that _mssql.connect() is not portable
	  between FreeTDS-dependent platforms and Windows platforms; documented
	  host:port usage

Sat Jul 23 14:20:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: eliminated problems with Python exiting upon
	  invalid login credentials with FreeTDS - the culprit was INT_EXIT
	  and FreeTDS setting DBDEAD
	* mssqldbmodule.c: added better error messages (esp. on Windows)
	* mssqldbmodule.c: added msg_handler and err_handler debugging
	* 0.7.1 packages re-released

Fri Jul 22 03:19:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: major change; module revamped to support some
	  more builtin Python features; some redundant code removed; memset()
	  removed as there were no benefits but performance decrease
	* mssqldbmodule.c: help(_mssql) works; help for conn object works too
	* pymssql.py: _quote: removed escaping backslash -- with MSSQL it is
	  only needed to escape single quotes by duplicating them
	* pymssql.py: pymssqlCnx class: added a few checks to properly support
	  DB-API 2.0 (see .close() in PEP 249)
	* version 0.7.1

Wed Jul 20 22:12:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: removed the workaround for date issue; there were
	  more problems than benefits
	* mssqldbmodule_tds.c: removed
	* some more cleanups and corrections

Tue Jul 19 14:23:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: major change; many portability problems fixed
	* mssqldbmodule.c: eliminated port setting; this is job for freetds.conf
	* mssqldbmodule_tds.c: module to get FreeTDS compile-time settings
	* build fixes; now it builds cleanly on FreeBSD, Linux and Windows
	* version 0.7.0

Mon Jul 18 15:21:00 2005  Andrzej Kukula <akukula@users.sourceforge.net>

	* mssqldbmodule.c: fix build on Windows: changed MS_WIN32 to MS_WINDOWS
	  reported by Mirek Rusin <mirek.rusin@onet.pl>
	* mssqldbmodule.c: many small fixes and cleanups; janitorial fixes;
	  indentation using indent(1L)

Thu Feb 24 02:03:14 2005  Alejandro Dubrovsky  <alito@organicrobot.com>

	* Export column type names
	* mssqldbmodule.c:  Return column type information for headers
	* Use type information to make cursor.description conform to API 2

2005-02-17  Alejandro Dubrovsky  <alito@organicrobot.com>
