=head2 Changes in DBI 1.49 (svn rev 2287), 29th November 2005

Fixed assorted attribute handling bugs in DBD::Proxy.
Fixed croak() in DBD::NullP thanks to Sergey Skvortsov.
Fixed handling of take_imp_data() and dbi_imp_data attribute.
Fixed bugs in DBD::DBM thanks to Jeff Zucker.
Fixed bug in DBI::ProfileDumper thanks to Sam Tregar.
Fixed ping in DBD::Proxy thanks to George Campbell.
Fixed dangling ref in $sth after parent $dbh destroyed
with thanks to il@rol.ru for the bug report #13151
Fixed prerequisites to include Storable thanks to Michael Schwern.
Fixed take_imp_data to be more practical.

Change to require perl 5.6.1 (as advertised in 2003) not 5.6.0.
Changed internals to be more strictly coded thanks to Andy Lester.
Changed warning about multiple copies of Driver.xst found in @INC
to ignore duplicated directories thanks to Ed Avis.
Changed Driver.xst to enable drivers to define an dbd_st_prepare_sv
function where the statement parameter is an SV. That enables
compiled drivers to support SQL strings that are UTF-8.
Changed "use DBI" to only set $DBI::connect_via if not already set.
Changed docs to clarify pre-method clearing of err values.

Added ability for DBI::ProfileData to edit profile path on loading.
This enables aggregation of different SQL statements into the same
profile node - very handy when not using placeholders or when working
multiple separate tables for the same thing (ie logtable_2005_11_28)
Added $sth->{ParamTypes} specification thanks to Dean Arnold.
Added $h->{Callbacks} attribute to enable code hooks to be invoked
when certain methods are called. For example:
$dbh->{Callbacks}->{prepare} = sub { ... };
With thanks to David Wheeler for the kick start.
Added $h->{ChildHandles} (using weakrefs) thanks to Sam Tregar
I've recoded it in C so there's no significant performance impact.
Added $h->{Type} docs (returns 'dr', 'db', or 'st')
Adding trace message in DESTROY if InactiveDestroy enabled.

Ported DBI::ProfileDumper::Apache to mod_perl2 RC5+
thanks to Philip M. Golluci

Enjoy!
