ANN: Sequel 0.2.0.2 Released

[Sharon Rosner]

Sequel version 0.2.0.2 has just been released. This release includes a
number of minor bug fixes and improvements.

Inserting from subqueries
=========================

You can now use datasets as subqueries in insert statements, if your
database supports this feature:

DB[:items] << DB[:temp_items].filteractive => true)

#=> "INSERT INTO items (SELECT * FROM temp_items WHERE (active =
't'))"

Model classes can be reopened
=============================

Classes deriving from Sequel::Model() can now be reopened and
reloaded. This solves a annoyance people had when using Sequel models
in Camping or Merb applications.

MySQL adapter accepts charset option
====================================

You can now specify the character set in use for MySQL databases:

Sequel("mysql://localhost/mydb", :charset => 'UTF-8')

Bug fixes and other changes
===========================

* Fixed Dataset#exclude to add parens around NOT expression (#38).

* Fixed use of sub-queries with all comparison operators in block
filters (#38).

* Fixed arithmetic expressions in block filters to not be literalized.

* Changed Symbol#method_missing to return LiteralString.

* Changed PrettyTable to right-align numbers.

* Fixed Model.create_table (thanks Duane Johnson.)

Congratulations on the release. I like to hear about new and evolving
tools on here - but perhaps you might consider announcing regular minor
bugfix releases through more specialised channels, such as the sequel
mailing list and/or the rubyforge news feeds?

It's also nice to read a short summary of a package's purpose and
function near the top of announcements.

I like it to see announcements like this on ruby-talk! I don't want to
read n other mailing lists. And those announcements are not very
high-traffic compared to the total number of questions on ruby-talk

But that's just my opinion.

Thanks for the release!
