                    RELEASE NOTES

The Commons DbUtils team is pleased to announce the release of 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 Create functionality to return auto-generated keys in batches of SQL inserts  Issue: DBUTILS-108. Thanks to Micah Huff. 
o Patch QueryLoader to also load from XML properties files  Issue: DBUTILS-107. Thanks to PB. 
o Add missing JavaDoc to QueryRunner#insert  Issue: DBUTILS-98. Thanks to Moandji Ezana. 
o Add an Abstract ResultSetHandler implementation in order to reduce redundant 'resultSet' variable invocation  Issue: DBUTILS-97. 
o Added insert methods to QueryRunner and AsyncQueryRunner that return the generated key.  Issue: DBUTILS-87. Thanks to Moandji Ezana. 

Fixed Bugs:
o DBUtils can't build using JDK 1.7 - DriverProxy needs to implement getParentLogger()
        Add dynamic invocation.  Issue: DBUTILS-106. Thanks to Niall Pemberton. 
o Updated the use of getColumnName to try getColumnLabel first  Issue: DBUTILS-100. Thanks to xiaofei.xu. 
o DbUtils#loadDriver(ClassLoader,String) makes DriverManager throwing "No suitable driver found for jdbc"
        if ClassLoader is not the System's one  Issue: DBUTILS-96. Thanks to yuyf. 

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