The extension is now easier to install. BigDecimal is now used for DECIMAL and MONEY columns. Resource management was provided for cursors, statements, and connections by using blocks. New methods were added for getting the status and storage characteristics information from SLOBs. Thread safety and bugs were fixed.
New methods were added to SequentialCursor:
fetch_hash_many(n), fetch_hash_all, each_by(n),
each_hash_by(n), fetch!, fetch_hash!, each!, and
each_hash!. The !-methods reduce object creation
by reusing the same result object in each call.
fetch*many and fetch*all methods now return an
empty Array instead of nil when no records are
found. A bug which was triggered when freeing a
cursor that was opened but never used was fixed.
