What's new in this release:

0.6.0  08/28/2007
------------------
New features:
    * Test suite
    * Error, Warning, and AssertionFailure classes replace RuntimeError when
      raising exceptions.

      Error class methods:
        - message
        - sql_code
        - add_info
        - []
        - each
        - to_s
        - size, length

      message and sql_code reference the first error message. Following
      errors can be accessed through Error#[] as ExcInfo objects.

      ExcInfo is a Struct with the following members:
        - sql_code
        - sql_state
        - class_origin_val
        - subclass_origin_val

        - connection_name

      See test/testcase.rb for a simple example of exception handling.

    * Informix.version returns the version of this extension
    * Database#do aliased as Database#execute
    * More documentation

Remarks:
    * Database#do is deprecated and will be removed in next versions. Use
      Database#execute or Database#immediate instead.

    * In case of Informix errors, RuntimeError objects are no longer raised.
      Error, Warning and AssertionFailure objects are raised instead.
