0.41 Thu May 26 00:42:38 2005
        - allow TRUE, FALSE, and NULL in SELECT lists.
        - New parser, execution for ALTER TABLE, DELETE, INSERT.
        - Fix multi-line commands from input file (@file on command line).
        - update SQL in tests to conform to standards.

0.40 Tue May 10 02:04:16 2005
        - Allow arbitrary expressions in SELECT lists.

0.39 Mon Apr 11 00:35:29 2005
        - More typechecking and analysis.
        - Phase in new parser for SELECT with the following
          pluses and minuses: 
          + understands more of SQL grammar
          + better support for perl regex comparisons
          + added primitive EXPLAIN PLAN support
          + better complex expression support
          - more restrictive on quoting conventions
          - slower
          - need to improve parser error messages/recovery
          - identifiers still case-sensitive

0.38 Sat Mar 19 01:05:06 2005
        - Add Plan and MakeAlgebra packages to support new parser
        - Allow multiline SQL statements/require semicolon terminator
        - Hook the Parse::RecDescent grammar to gnz_err.

0.37 Fri Feb 25 00:55:10 2005
        - Add Parse::RecDescent dependency -- prelude to
          new SQL parser.  
          Ship precompiled parser -- 3 meg (!) SQL.pm
          compresses to about 100K.

0.36  Mon Feb  7 22:28:28 2005
        - BufCa/bce: set fileread flag in buffercache element 
          when reading blocks in to counteract the spurious 
          dirtyflag setting when the bigbuf gets updated.
          Set filenum/blocknum *before* the fileread so GetInfo
          is up-to-date.

0.35  Tue Feb  1 22:53:00 2005
        - fix parser to give error for INSERT with no VALUES

        - More error reporting (Feeble parser).
          (Tip o' the hat to Eric Rollins)
        - improve error newline formatting slightly.
        - Try to maintain dictionary/file/block format compatibility 
          between versions.

0.31  Thu Dec 30 00:39:37 2004

0.30  Sat Dec 25 17:20:34 2004
        - support (unquoted, uppercase) NULL in insert, update.
        - More work on error reporting (GenDBI, Dict, RSTab).

        - Revise error reporting mechanisms (Util, etc).

0.28  Mon Oct  4 01:09:37 2004

          function import.  More pod documentation.

0.27  Tue Sep 28 23:51:23 2004
        - more metadata fixes

0.26  Tue Sep 28 01:11:09 2004

        - fix uniqueness for initial primary key constraint definition 
          in Dict::_index_create
        - support multiple constraints on same table
        - Remove associated constraints and indexes when a table is 
          dropped (maybe should require CASCADE option?)

          DEC, SMALLINT, FLOAT, DOUBLE, REAL types to internal "c", "n"
        - Util:PackRow mutated $value array, converting undefs to 
          zero-length strings, which broke primary key/not null 
          enforcement.  

0.21  Thu Aug 12 09:31:15 2004
        - cleanup for CPAN upload

        - Dict changes:  
            _tspace  - addfile column
            _tsfiles - increase_by column
        - add "bigdb.sql" script to reset database to acquire multiple, 
          auto-extending datafiles

        - Gnzo2.t: fixes for long row splitting and updating.  Make sure
          to write row status bit changes (versus just updating in memory).
          Always insert the new row pieces first so if run out of
          space, the original row value is preserved.

0.16  Thu Jul  1 14:48:44 2004
        - IdxTab filter fixes
        - btHash Index fetch (fetching from index as a "table")

            core table "creationdate" columns in iso-8601 format
            (YYYY-MM-DDtHH:MI:SS) because numeric date "epoch" 
            not portable.
            _tab1    - otype to object_type, 
            _tsfiles - add initial_size, calc_increase
        - pass filename, size arguments for AddFile
        - datafile portability: only store relative paths for file names
          in _tsfiles so can move gnz_home directory
        - default increase_by=50% for extent allocation
        - Extensible datafiles via increase_by (in progress)
        - Gnzo2.t: fixes for long row splitting and updating (still broken)

0.15  Mon Jun 21 21:32:43 2004
        - Create Index <index_name> on <table_name> (col1 [,...<col_n>])
        - Use primary key index lookup for equality predicates 
          (WHERE index_col = "literal")
        - INDEX object type
        - core table "creationdate" column as number (not char)
        - estimation for rsidx/bthash - (placeholder - just straight count)
        - fixes for primary key constraints
        - Internal: bt2 - fix SQLFetch to match RSTab api
                    Dict - define and load primary key indexes in 2 phases

          on insert, added key_type argument to simplify btree
          api, start_key/stop_key support in index SQLPrepare,
          IOT's with multiple value columns, WHERE clause support
          for startkey/stopkey for (=, <, >) operations.
        - Handle "nearest" start/stopkey, versus an exact match.
        - Internal: start transitioning to object_id vs tablename
          in dictionary, space mgmt, row sources
        - primary key constraints for dictionary tables
        - primary key index support

0.13  Fri Jun  4 02:24:31 2004
        - index enhancement to support multicolumn keys,
          index persistent space management,

          limited WHERE clause support for equality keys

0.12  Fri May 21 01:40:43 2004
        - change packrow - don't need separate len for null bitvec,
          parameterize numeric pack types to support BER ints.  
          Add -define parameter to pass key=value pairs for db
          initialization (e.g. blocksize=2k).  
          Fix rowcount in DBI fetch (GenDBI::SelectFetch).
          Cleanup Tablespace handling of filearr,used/unused to match
          Dict _tsfiles fileidx.
          Use Util::UNPACK_TEMPL_ARR to cache common unpacking templates
          to speed up UnPackRow.
          bt2: faster insertion

0.11  Tue Mar 30 23:14:54 2004

          RSFile/SMFile nextblock improve row packing density, remove
          surrounding quotes on insert/update values, return undef's in
