=head2 Changes in DBI 1.56 (svn rev 9561), 13th May 2007

Fixed printf arg warnings thanks to JDHEDDEN.
Fixed returning driver-private sth attributes via gofer.

Changed pod docs docs to use =head3 instead of =item
so now in html you get links to individual methods etc.
Changed default gofer retry_limit from 2 to 0.
Changed tests to workaround Math::BigInt broken versions.
Changed dbi_profile_merge() to dbi_profile_merge_nodes()
old name still works as an alias for the new one.

Added DBI_GOFER_RANDOM env var that can be use to trigger random
failures and delays when executing gofer requests. Designed to help
test automatic retry on failures and timeout handling.
Added lots more docs to all the DBD::Gofer and DBI::Gofer classes.

=cut

This release is mainly to tie up a few loose ends relating to Gofer,
like more detailed documentation, and to sync up with the
GoferTransport-http-1.00 release.

DBD::Gofer is now ready for production use. Go take a look!
http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI/lib/DBD/Gofer.pm

Anyone using DBD::Proxy, or who tried using it but gave up,
should give DBD::Gofer a try (unless you're using transactions).

The change to use =head3 for DBI docs means you'll now get a much
more useful 'table of contents' on search.cpan.org.

Enjoy!

Tim.
