Version 1.1.0

  * Support for storing containers in the database. For more information refer
    to Chapter 5, "Containers" in the ODB manual as well as the 'container'
    example in the odb-examples package.

  * Support for unidirectional and bidirectional object relationships,
    including lazy loading. For more information refer to Chapter 6,
    "Relationships" in the ODB manual as well as the 'relationship' and
    'inverse' examples in the odb-examples package.

  * Support for composite value types. For more information refer to Chapter
    7, "Composite Value Types" in the ODB manual as well as the 'composite'
    example in the odb-examples package.

  * Support for sessions. A session is an application's unit of work that
    may encompass several database transactions. In this version of ODB a
    session is just an object cache. For more information refer to Chapter
    8, "Session" in the ODB manual.

  * Support for custom object pointers that allows you to use smart pointers
    to return, pass, and cache persistent objects. See Section 3.2, "Object
    Pointers" in the ODB manual for details.

  * Support for native SQL statement execution. See Section 3.9, "Executing
    Native SQL Statements" in the ODB manual for details.

  * New option, --profile/-p, instructs the ODB compiler to use the specified
    profile library. See the ODB compiler command line manual for details.

  * Support for literal names (template-id, derived type declarator such as
    pointers, etc) in data member declarations. Now, for example, you can use 
    std::vector<std::string> directly instead of having to create a typedef
    alias for it.

  * Support for inheritance from transient base types for object types and
    composite value types.

  * New example, 'schema', shows how to map persistent C++ classes to a custom
    database schema.

  * New options, --odb-prologue, --odb-epilogue, allow inclusion of extra code
    into the ODB compilation process. This can be useful for making additional
    traits specializations or ODB pragmas known to the ODB compiler.

  * Support for persistent classes without default constructors. For objects
    of such classes only the load() and find() database functions that
    populate an existing instance can be used. Similarly, only the load()
    query result iterator function which populates an existing instance can
    be used.

Version 1.0.0

  * Initial release.
