    -  MySQLi driver now supports persistent connections when running on PHP >= 5.3.
    -  Added dsn if the group connections in the config use PDO or any driver which need DSN.
    -  Improved PDO database support.
-   -  An optional database name parameter was added db_select().
+   -  Added Interbase/Firebird database support via the "interbase" driver
+   -  Added an optional database name parameter to db_select().
+   -  Replaced the _error_message() and _error_number() methods with error(), that returns an array containing the last database error code and message.
+   -  Improved version() implementation so that drivers that have a native function to get the version number don't have to be defined in the core DB_driver class.
+   -  Improved support of the PostgreSQL driver, including:
+	 -  pg_version() is now used to get the database version number, when possible.
+	 -  Added db_set_charset() support.
+	 -  Added _optimize_table() support for the :doc:`Database Utility Class <database/utilities>` (rebuilds table indexes).

 	 -  _execute() now considers input data to be invalid if a specified rule is not found.
 	 -  Removed method is_numeric() as it exists as a native PHP function and _execute() will find and use that (the 'is_numeric' rule itself is deprecated since 1.6.1).
 	 -  Native PHP functions used as rules can now accept an additional parameter, other than the data itself.
+   -  Changed the :doc:`Session Library <libraries/sessions>` to select only one row when using database sessions.
