+== 1.2.4 2010-02-23
+
+* Enhancements:
+  * rake db:test:purge will drop all schema objects from test schema (including views, synonyms, packages, functions, procedures) -
+    they should be always reloaded before tests run if necessary
+  * added views, synonyms, packages, functions, procedures, indexes, triggers, types, primary, unique and foreign key constraints to structure dump
+  * added :temporary option for create_table to create temporary tables
+  * added :tablespace option for add_index
+  * support function based indexes in schema dump
+  * support JNDI database connections in JRuby
+  * check ruby-oci8 minimum version 2.0.3
+  * added savepoints support (nested ActiveRecord transactions)
+* Bug fixes:
+  * typecast returned BigDecimal integer values to Fixnum or Bignum
+    (to avoid issues with _before_type_cast values for id attributes because _before_type_cast is used in form helpers)
+  * clear table columns cache after columns definition change in migrations
+
+== 1.2.3 2009-12-09
+
+* Enhancements
+  * support fractional seconds in TIMESTAMP values
+  * support for ActiveRecord 2.3.5
+  * use ENV['TZ'] to set database session time zone
+    (as a result DATE and TIMESTAMP values are retrieved with correct time zone)
+  * added cache_columns adapter option
+  * added current_user adapter method
+  * added set_integer_columns and set_string_columns ActiveRecord model class methods
+* Bug fixes:
+  * do not raise exception if ENV['PATH'] is nil
+  * do not add change_table behavior for ActiveRecord 2.0 (to avoid exception during loading)
+  * move foreign key definitions after definition of all tables in schema.rb
+    (to avoid definition of foreign keys before all tables are created)
+  * changed timestamp format mask to use ':' before fractional seconds
+    (workaround to avoid table detection in tables_in_string method in ActiveRecord associations.rb file)
+  * fixed custom create/update/delete methods with ActiveRecord 2.3+ and timestamps
+  * do not call oracle_enhanced specific schema dump methods when using other database adapters
+
+== 1.2.2 2009-09-28
+
+* Enhancements
+  * improved RDoc documentation of public methods
+  * structure dump optionally (database.yml environment has db_stored_code: yes) extracts
+    packages, procedures, functions, views, triggers and synonyms
+  * automatically generated too long index names are shortened down to 30 characters
+  * create tables with primary key triggers
+  * use 'set_sequence_name :autogenerated' for inserting into legacy tables with trigger populated primary keys
+  * access to tables over database link (need to define local synonym to remote table and use local synonym in set_table_name)
+  * [JRuby] support JDBC connection using TNS_ADMIN environment variable and TNS database alias
+  * changed cursor_sharing option default from 'similar' to 'force'
+  * optional dbms_output logging to ActiveRecord log file (requires ruby-plsql gem)
+  * use add_foreign_key and remove_foreign_key to define foreign key constraints
+    (the same syntax as in http://github.com/matthuhiggins/foreigner and similar
+    to http://github.com/eyestreet/active_record_oracle_extensions)
+  * raise RecordNotUnique and InvalidForeignKey exceptions if caused by corresponding ORA errors
+    (these new exceptions are supported just by current ActiveRecord master branch)
+  * implemented disable_referential_integrity
+    (enables safe loading of fixtures in schema with foreign key constraints)
+  * use add_synonym and remove_synonym to define database synonyms
+  * add_foreign_key and add_synonym are also exported to schema.rb
+* Bug fixes:
+  * [JRuby] do not raise LoadError if ojdbc14.jar cannot be required (rely on application server to add it to class path)
+  * [JRuby] 'execute' can be used to create triggers with :NEW reference
+  * support create_table without a block
+  * support create_table with Symbol table name
+  * use ActiveRecord functionality to do time zone conversion
+  * rake tasks such as db:test:clone are redefined only if oracle_enhanced is current adapter in use
+  * VARCHAR2 and CHAR column sizes are defined in characters and not in bytes (expected behavior from ActiveRecord)
+  * set_date_columns, set_datetime_columns, ignore_table_columns will work after reestablishing connection
+  * ignore :limit option for :text and :binary columns in migrations
+  * patches for ActiveRecord schema dumper to remove table prefixes and suffixes from schema.rb
+
+== 1.2.1 2009-06-07
+
+* Enhancements
+  * caching of table indexes query which makes schema dump much faster
+* Bug fixes:
+  * return Date (and not DateTime) values for :date column value before year 1970
+  * fixed after_create/update/destroy callbacks with plsql custom methods
+  * fixed creation of large integers in JRuby
+  * Made test tasks respect RAILS_ENV
+  * fixed support for composite primary keys for tables with LOBs
+
+== 1.2.0 2009-03-22
+
+* Enhancements
+  * support for JRuby and JDBC
+  * support for Ruby 1.9.1 and ruby-oci8 2.0
+  * support for Rails 2.3
+  * quoting of Oracle reserved words in table names and column names
+  * emulation of OracleAdapter (for ActiveRecord unit tests)
+* Bug fixes:
+  * several bug fixes that were identified during running of ActiveRecord unit tests
+
+== 1.1.9 2009-01-02
+
+* Enhancements
+  * Added support for table and column comments in migrations
+  * Added support for specifying sequence start values
+  * Added :privilege option (e.g. :SYSDBA) to ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
+* Bug fixes:
+  * Do not mark empty decimals, strings and texts (stored as NULL in database) as changed when reassigning them (starting from Rails 2.1)
+  * Create booleans as VARCHAR2(1) columns if emulate_booleans_from_strings is true
+
+== 1.1.8 2008-10-10
+
+* Bug fixes:
+  * Fixed storing of serialized LOB columns
+  * Prevent from SQL injection in :limit and :offset
+  * Order by LOB columns (by replacing column with function which returns first 100 characters of LOB)
+  * Sequence creation for tables with non-default primary key in create_table block
+  * Do count distinct workaround only when composite_primary_keys gem is used
+    (otherwise count distinct did not work with ActiveRecord 2.1.1)
+  * Fixed rake db:test:clone_structure task
+    (see http://rsim.lighthouseapp.com/projects/11468/tickets/11-rake-dbtestclone_structure-fails-in-117)

+    
+== 1.1.5 2008-07-27
+
+* Bug fixes:
+  * Fixed that write_lobs callback works with partial_updates enabled (added additional record lock before writing BLOB data to database)
+* Enhancements:
+  * Changed SQL SELECT in indexes method so that it will execute faster on some large data dictionaries
+  * Support for other date and time formats when assigning string to :date or :datetime column
+

+  * Added additional methods that are used by composite_primary_keys
+
+== 1.1.3 2008-07-10
+
+* Enhancements:
+  * Added support for custom create, update and delete methods when working with legacy databases where

+
+* Bug fixes:
+  * Fixed after_save callback addition for session store in ActiveRecord version 2.0.2

+
+* Enhancements:
+  * Added ignore_table_columns option
+  * Added support for TIMESTAMP columns (without fractional seconds)

+* Bug fixes:
+  * Checks if CGI::Session::ActiveRecordStore::Session does not have enhanced_write_lobs callback before adding it
+    (Rails 2.0 does not add this callback, Rails 2.1 does)
+
+== 1.1.0 2008-05-05
+
+* Forked from original activerecord-oracle-adapter-1.0.0.9216
+* Renamed oracle adapter to oracle_enhanced adapter
+  * Added "enhanced" to method and class definitions so that oracle_enhanced and original oracle adapter
+    could be used simultaniously

+
+Oracle enhanced adapter for ActiveRecord
+
+== DESCRIPTION:
+
+Oracle "enhanced" ActiveRecord adapter contains useful additional methods for working with new and legacy Oracle databases
+from Rails which are extracted from current real projects' monkey patches of original Oracle adapter.
+
+See http://wiki.github.com/rsim/oracle-enhanced for usage information.
+
+For questions and feature discussion please use http://groups.google.com/group/oracle-enhanced
+
+Blog posts about oracle-enahnced can be found at http://blog.rayapps.com/category/oracle-enhanced
+
+== REQUIREMENTS:
+
+* Works (has been tested) with ActiveRecord version 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 (these are the same as Rails versions)
+* Can be used on the following Ruby platforms:
+  * MRI - requires ruby-oci8 1.x or 2.x gem to connect to Oracle (2.0.3 or later recommended)
+  * Ruby/YARV 1.9.1 - requires ruby-oci8 2.x library to connect to Oracle
+    unicode_utils gem is recommended for Unicode aware string upcase and downcase
+  * JRuby - uses JDBC driver ojdbc14.jar to connect to Oracle (should be in JRUBY_HOME/lib or in Java class path)
+* Requires ruby-plsql gem to support custom create, update and delete methods (but can be used without ruby-plsql if this functionality is not needed)
+
+== INSTALL:
+
+* [sudo] gem install activerecord-oracle_enhanced-adapter
+
+In addition install either ruby-oci8 (for MRI/YARV) or copy Oracle JDBC driver to $JRUBY_HOME/lib (for JRuby).

+# From original oracle_adapter.rb:
+#
+# Implementation notes:
+# 1. Redefines (safely) a method in ActiveRecord to make it possible to
+#    implement an autonumbering solution for Oracle.
+# 2. The OCI8 driver is patched to properly handle values for LONG and
+#    TIMESTAMP columns. The driver-author has indicated that a future
+#    release of the driver will obviate this patch.
+# 3. LOB support is implemented through an after_save callback.
+# 4. Oracle does not offer native LIMIT and OFFSET options; this
+#    functionality is mimiced through the use of nested selects.

+    # Oracle enhanced adapter will work with both
+    # Ruby 1.8/1.9 ruby-oci8 gem (which provides interface to Oracle OCI client)
+    # or with JRuby and Oracle JDBC driver.
+    # 
+    # It should work with Oracle 9i, 10g and 11g databases.
+    # Limited set of functionality should work on Oracle 8i as well but several features
+    # rely on newer functionality in Oracle database.
+    #
+    # Usage notes:
+    # * Key generation assumes a "${table_name}_seq" sequence is available
+    #   for all tables; the sequence name can be changed using
+    #   ActiveRecord::Base.set_sequence_name. When using Migrations, these
+    #   sequences are created automatically.
+    #   Use set_sequence_name :autogenerated with legacy tables that have
+    #   triggers that populate primary keys automatically.
+    # * Oracle uses DATE or TIMESTAMP datatypes for both dates and times.
+    #   Consequently some hacks are employed to map data back to Date or Time
+    #   in Ruby. Timezones and sub-second precision on timestamps are
+    #   not supported.
+    # * Default values that are functions (such as "SYSDATE") are not
+    #   supported. This is a restriction of the way ActiveRecord supports
+    #   default values.
+    #
+    # Required parameters:
+    #
+    # * <tt>:username</tt>
+    # * <tt>:password</tt>
+    # * <tt>:database</tt> - either TNS alias or connection string for OCI client or database name in JDBC connection string
+    # 
+    # Optional parameters:
+    # 
+    # * <tt>:host</tt> - host name for JDBC connection, defaults to "localhost"
+    # * <tt>:port</tt> - port number for JDBC connection, defaults to 1521
+    # * <tt>:privilege</tt> - set "SYSDBA" if you want to connect with this privilege
+    # * <tt>:allow_concurrency</tt> - set to "true" if non-blocking mode should be enabled (just for OCI client)
+    # * <tt>:prefetch_rows</tt> - how many rows should be fetched at one time to increase performance, defaults to 100
+    # * <tt>:cursor_sharing</tt> - cursor sharing mode to minimize amount of unique statements, defaults to "force"
+    # * <tt>:nls_length_semantics</tt> - semantics of size of VARCHAR2 and CHAR columns, defaults to "CHAR"
+    #   (meaning that size specifies number of characters and not bytes)
+    # * <tt>:time_zone</tt> - database session time zone
+    #   (it is recommended to set it using ENV['TZ'] which will be then also used for database session time zone)
