- - Renamed the Active Record class to Query Builder to remove confusion with the Active Record design pattern.
- - Added the ability to insert objects with insert_batch() in :doc:`Query Builder <database/query_builder>`.
- - Added new :doc:`Query Builder <database/query_builder>` methods that return the SQL string of queries without executing them: get_compiled_select(), get_compiled_insert(), get_compiled_update(), get_compiled_delete().
- - Adding $escape parameter to the order_by() method, this enables ordering by custom fields.

+ - Added support for join() with multiple conditions.
- Improved support for the MySQLi driver, including:
- - OOP style of the PHP extension is now used, instead of the procedural aliases.
- - Server version checking is now done via ``mysqli::$server_info`` instead of running an SQL query.
- - Added persistent connections support for PHP >= 5.3.

- 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 boolean data type support in escape().
- - Added update_batch() support.
- - Removed limit() and order_by() support for UPDATE and DELETE queries in as PostgreSQL does not support those features.

- 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 protect_identifiers() and renamed internal method _protect_identifiers() to it instead - it was just an alias.
+ - Renamed internal method _escape_identifiers() to escape_identifiers().
+ - Updated escape_identifiers() to accept an array of fields as well as strings.
- 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).
- Added support for SQLite3 database driver.
