- 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).
+ - Added a constructor to the DB_result class and moved all driver-specific properties and logic out of the base DB_driver class to allow better abstraction.
+ - Removed limit() and order_by() support for UPDATE and DELETE queries in PostgreSQL driver. Postgres does not support those features.
+ - Removed protect_identifiers() and renamed _protect_identifiers() to it instead - it was just an alias.
+ - MySQL and MySQLi drivers now require at least MySQL version 5.1.
+ - db_set_charset() now only requires one parameter (collation was only needed due to legacy support for MySQL versions prior to 5.1).
