 Version 1.2.0
 
-  * New profile, boost, provides support for Boost library types. This version
-    provides support for a subset of types from the 'smart_ptr', 'unordered',
-    and 'date_time' libraries. The boost profile implementation is provided by
-    the libodb-boost library. For more information refer to Chapter 12, "Boost
-    Profile" in the ODB manual as well as the 'boost' example in the
-    odb-examples package.

-  * New namespace, odb::core, contains using-declarations for the core ODB
-    constructs, such as the database, transaction, etc. The primary use of
-    this namespace is in the using-directives:
-
-    using namespace odb::core;
-
-    The above form should be preferred over the old variant:
-
-    using namespace odb;
-
-    The new approach brings all the essential ODB names into the current
-    namespace without any of the auxiliary objects such as traits, etc., which
-    minimizes the likelihood of conflicts with other libraries.  Note that you
-    can still use the odb namespace when qualifying individual names, for
-    example, odb::database.
