The Apache Commons DbUtils team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Commons DbUtils 1.6.
The Apache Commons DbUtils package is a set of Java utility classes for easing JDBC development.

Changes in this version include:

NEW FEATURES:
=============
o DBUTILS-113:  Add support for conversion of ResultSet strings to enums in the BeanProcessor
                Thanks to Graylin Kim, Michael Osipov.
o DBUTILS-108:  Create functionality to return auto-generated keys in batches of SQL inserts
                Thanks to Micah Huff.
o DBUTILS-107:  Patch QueryLoader to also load from XML properties files
                Thanks to PB.
o DBUTILS-98:   Add missing JavaDoc to QueryRunner#insert
                Thanks to Moandji Ezana.
o DBUTILS-97:   Add an Abstract ResultSetHandler implementation in order to reduce redundant 'resultSet' variable invocation
o DBUTILS-87:   Added insert methods to QueryRunner and AsyncQueryRunner that return the generated key.
                Thanks to Moandji Ezana.

FIXED BUGS:
===========
o DBUTILS-110:  ArrayHandler should return an empty array when handle has no rows 
o DBUTILS-114:  Order of columns not retained in BasicRowProcessor with HashMap
                Thanks to Michael Osipov.
o DBUTILS-118:  BeanProcessor not returning nanoseconds
                Thanks to Feysal Rujbally, Daniele Cremonini.
o DBUTILS-106:  DBUtils can't build using JDK 1.7 - DriverProxy needs to implement getParentLogger()
                Add dynamic invocation. Thanks to Niall Pemberton.
o DBUTILS-100:  Updated the use of getColumnName to try getColumnLabel first Thanks to xiaofei.xu. 
o DBUTILS-96:   DbUtils#loadDriver(ClassLoader,String) makes DriverManager throwing "No suitable driver found for jdbc"
                if ClassLoader is not the System's one Thanks to yuyf.

Changes:
o DBUTILS-85:   In BeanProcessor#isCompatibleType, can Integer.class.isInstance(value) be replaced by value instanceof Integer (etc)?
                Simplified code by using instanceof.
