After a long, deep slumber of more than 18 months, Ruby/DBI awakens and  
lumbers forward into the countryside. Rise, Ruby/DBI, rise! Strike  
terror deep in the hearts of Rubyists everywhere! Ahem.

Michael N. has handed off the reins to Daniel B., Kirk H.,  
Patrick M., and myself. This first release is fairly modest, cleaning  
up a few small bugs and doing lots of behind-the-scenese  
reorganization.

Please note that 0.1.0 is only a development release, the first of  
hopefully many as we move towards a bug-free production release. 0.1.0  
may contain new and differently irritating bugs than the previous  
release, 0.0.23.

We’ve got plenty of plans for Ruby-DBI. First and foremost in my mind  
is the need for stupidly easy installation and configuration, a task  
that will require extensive coordination among the scattered tribe of  
Rubyists who have intrepidly written database drivers.

But first, we have to clean out all those pesky old bugs, and try not  
to create new ones. So if you want to help out, you could download DBI  
0.1.0 and give it a spin, and report bugs.

Thanks,
