   In fact, most of the documentation previously found here is now relocated in pod format...

NEWS:
 Version 0.21: Very Important Changes.
	First, the driver name has changed to DBD::SearchServer. It was previously
	known as DBD::Fulcrum, but this was wrong.
 	Most notable changes:
	- support for table_info and dbish
	- ss_maxhitsinternalcolumns becomes a database-handle attribute
	- general cleanup of tests
	- reorganization of docs.
	You will not be able to upgrade from DBD::Fulcrum without touching your code.

 Version 0.20: Introducing ss_maxhitsinternalcolumns.

 Version 0.19_03: released as 0.20
	Support for CursorName (statement attribute). Contributed by
	Peter Wyngaard <peterw@anecdote.com>

 Version 0.19_02: Not released.
	Minor fixes.

 Version 0.19_01: Not released.
	Minor doc changes. Tested on HP-UX 10.20 after some time.
	Added $dbh->table_info method for DBI::Shell.

 Version 0.19: Released.
	BE CAREFUL, this version is SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT from the latest
	released (0.12). Check your seat belts before installing _AND_
	keep a DBD-Fulcrum-0.12.tar.gz around for sometime.
	You've been warned.
	Multiple connects bug fixed with info from Loic Dachary.

 Version 0.18: Not released.

	Added $sth->{ful_last_row_id}, contributed by Loic Dachary
	<loic@ceic.com>
	Clean up for test.pl (just a little).

 Version 0.17: prereleased (never on CPAN)
	final polishing before release.

 Version 0.16: mostly rewritten to take advantage of the new DBI
	'xst' templates.
	Truncation behaviour is now rationalized.
	Added DBD::Fulcrum::ful_maxhitsinternalcolumns to allow for
	larger buffers when data truncated is not desired (see docs)


 Version 0.15: minor packaging details. This should be the last version
	not using Driver.xst.

 Version 0.14: Bug fix WRT allocation of buffers for "normal" fields
	(not APVARCHAR) where SET SHOW_MATCHES 'TRUE'.
	Thanks to Roberto Bianchettin <roberto@pisa.iol.it> for finding it.

 Version 0.13: Just README changes, not released.

 Version 0.12: Builds and tests fine under Windows NT 4.0sp3,
	SearchServer 3.5c, DBI 0.92, perl 5.004_57
