ANN: Sequel 0.1.2 Released

Sequel version 0.1.2 has just been released. This release contains
vaious bug fixes and enhancements. Here are the important changes:

* Support for SQL set operations (UNION, INTERSECT and EXCEPT):

DB[:a].union(DB[:b]).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM a UNION SELECT * FROM b"

The #union, #intersect and #except methods take an optional second
parameter to specify ALL for the clause:

DB[:a].intersect(DB[:b], true).sql #=>
  "SELECT * FROM a INTERSECT ALL SELECT * FROM b"

* SequelConnectionError has been removed, as it caused a some
difficulties dealing with non DB-related errors that were raised
inside transactions. However, Exception errors are automatically
converted into RuntimeError. Future releases might convert adapter-
specific errors into standard Sequel errors.

* Added DSL for defining subsets in Model classes:

class A < Sequel::Model(:a)
  subset(:high_priced) {price > 100}
  subset :china, :category => 'china'
end

A.high_priced.sql #=> "SELECT * FROM a WHERE (price > 100)"
A.china.sql #=> "SELECT * FROM a WHERE (category = 'china')"

* Cleaned up PostgreSQL adapter code.

* Updated spec to conform with RSpec 1.0.
