Sequel version 0.4.1 has just been released. This release includes
error-handling in worker threads, support for DISTINCT ON clauses,
better support for database access using DBI and automatic adapter
loading.
Sequel is a lightweight ORM library for Ruby. Sequel provides thread
safety, connection pooling and a simple and expressive API for
constructing database queries and table schemas.
=== Changes in this release
* Improved error-handling for worker threads. Errors are saved to an
array and are accessible through #errors (#91).
w = Sequel::Worker.new
w.add {raise "blah blah"}
w.join
w.errors.first.message #=> "blah blah"
* Dataset#uniq/distinct can now accept a column list for DISTINCT ON
clauses.
DB[:items].distinct(:category, price).sql
#=> "SELECT DISTINCT ON (category, price) * FROM items"
* Added support for dbi-xxx URI schemes (#86).
DB = Sequel.open 'dbi-pg://localhost/mydb'
* Put adapter files in lib/sequel/adapters. Requiring sequel/<adapter>
is now deprecated. Users can now just require 'sequel' and adapters
are automagically loaded (#93).
* Reorganized lib directory structure.
* Fixed problem in Database#uri where setting the password would raise
an error (#87).
* Improved Dataset#insert_sql to correctly handle string keys (#92).
* Fixed Model.all.
* Fixed literalization of strings with escape sequences in postgres
adapter (#90).
* Added support for literalizing BigDecimal values (#89).
* Fixed column qualification for joined datasets (thanks Christian).
* Implemented experimental informix adapter.
