-== FireRuby Version 0.3.2
-FireRuby is an extension to the Ruby language that provides access to the C API
-functionality of the Firebird relational database management system.
-
-This release expands upon the functionality provided by the Database and
-Connection classes to provide extended support for connection options and, in
-particular, database character sets.
-
-Once again I would like to thank Ken Kunz for his support and input to the
-FireRuby project. Ken performs the unit testing and creates the gem file for the
-Linux version of the FireRuby library. Thanks also to Art Fedorov for input on
-handling and testing character sets.
+== FireRuby Version 0.4.0
+Its been a while but I'm glad to release version 0.4.0 of the FireRuby library.
+FireRuby is an extension for the Ruby programming language that provides access
+to the Firebird open source RDBMS. There aren't a great deal of changes for this
+release but some of the alterations may have an impact on existing code, so
+please read the enhancements and alterations section to see what has been done.
 
 == Enhancements & Alterations
 
-The Database class has been expanded to incorporate the concept of character
-sets. The Connection class has been extended to allow for the specification of
-a set of connection options. Both of these classes have also been altered to
-support the accessing of databases using the system user details (on POSIX
-systems).
+This release contains some changes that are part of a suite of suggestion put
+forward by Ken Kunz to enhancement support for the Firebird ActiveRecord 
+adapter he developed. The first of these changes involved switching the keying
+of Row objects away from using the column name to using the column alias. This
+is a logical change as the alias is more likely to be unique. I realise that
+change has the potential to break existing code so I've included a work around
+that can be used to have the library behave as it used to. To use keying on
+columns insert the following line into your code after you've loaded the
+FireRuby library and before you've done any database work...
+
+   $FireRubySettings[:ALIAS_KEYS] = false
+   
+This will cause the library to use column names as keys on rows. A second change
+I've made that could impact existing code is for the retrieval of data from
+columns of SQL type DATE. These were being returned as a Time object but are now
+being returned as a Date object, again a fairly logical change. If this causes
+problems for your code then you can add the following line to get the library to
+return Times by adding the following line...
+
+   $FireRubySettings[:DATE_AS_DATE] = false
+   
+The final change I've made for this release from Ken's wish list is that I have
+incorporated Enumerable into the Row and ResultSet classes. Your code may
+already do this and, unfortunately, I'm not providing any sort of work around
+other than you remove this from your own code.
+
+I've also added functionality to the library to aid in determining type
+information in relation to database tables and query results. As far as I can
+determine the Firebird data structures used to return data from the database
+provide no means of determining exact type specifics (please correct me if I'm
+wrong). This means that for queries all I can return are details of the
+underlying type but not the specifics (so I can tell you that a result column is
+NUMERIC but I can't give you the precision and scale for example).
+
+I have provided a new class called SQLType. This defines constants for the basic
+types supported by FireRuby. It also allows for querying of table types. In this
+case, as I'm referring to the actual database, I can provide more specific
+details (so I can tell you that a column is NUMERIC, has a precision of 5 and a
+scale or 2 for example). See the API documentation for this class for more
+information.
+
+Finally I have added some new unit tests and updated existing ones to cover the
+changes I have made.
 
 == Bug Fixes
 
-There are no outstanding project bugs.
+I've made a few cosmetic and minor bug fixes that were unlikely to have had an
+impact on anyone (but its nice that they're fixed anyway).
+
+I received some feedback with regards to FireRuby not working with Firebird
+database aliases but, as this has been successfully tested via the use of the
+Rails adapter based on FireRuby, I have to assume that this was a user set up
+problem.

-The FireRuby library is an extension of the Ruby language written in C. For Mac
-OS X the library is built on version 10.3 of the OS and against Firebird
-installed as a framework, version 1.5.1, and with Ruby version 1.8.2. For the
-Windows platform the library is built on Windows XP and against a Ruby
-installation created using the one-click installer, version 1.8.2. The Windows
-build was created using the freely available Microsoft compilers and SDKs and
