Sequel version 0.1.9.9 has just been released. This release includes a  
new ADO adapter and a couple of bug fixes, all courtesy of Chris  
Carter. Following is a discussion of the changes:

# ADO adapter

Windows users now have an easier and faster way to access ADO data  
sources, without having to install DBI:

require ‘sequel/ado’  
DB = Sequel.ado(‘mydb’)

# there’s no third step 🙂

# Bug Fixes

- Added automatic column aliasing to #avg, #sum, #min and #max (#30).  
You can now use these convenience methods with MSSQL databases.

- Fixed broken Sequel::DBI::Dataset#fetch\_rows (#29).
