No substantial feature updates from previous v0.7.x builds; maintenance release, primarily updating third-party package dependencies.

Point release, updates database dependencies, and fixes some minor issues.

Release v0.7.0 fixes issues with syntax highlighting, initial support for Cassandra databases via CQL, and general code cleanup. The major changes:

• Syntax highlighting fixes
• Added -v / --set command line parameter (compatibility with psql)
• Added "batch query" support for databases (ql + cql)
• Fixed issues with query prefix detection / parsing
• Switched from dep to vgo for dependency management

To install using the binary release:

• Download the archive (.zip or .bz2) for your platform (Windows, OSX, Linux)
• Extract usql from the downloaded archive and place somewhere in $PATH

To install on OSX via Homebrew:

# add tap
$ brew tap xo/xo

# install usql with "most" drivers
$ brew install usql

# install usql with oracle and odbc support
$ brew install --with-oracle --with-odbc usql

Release v0.6.0 has some minor feature additions (syntax highlighting), and general code cleanup. A list of the major changes:

• Syntax highlighting
• Better compatibility with psql commands
• Homebrew support

To install on OSX via Homebrew:

# add tap
$ brew tap xo/xo

# install usql with "most" drivers
$ brew install usql

# install usql with oracle and odbc support
$ brew install --with-oracle --with-odbc usql

Compatibility fixes! Now almost equal to psql for the major features (variables, passwords, etc), and some major code organization/documentation overhauls. Included in this release:

• Variables working

• Added \set, \unset, \prompt commands for working with variables
• Fixed \gset and \gexec commands
• Fixed \! command
• Added -1 / --single-transaction command line option
• Added \begin, \commit and \rollback commands for working with transactions
• Fixed logic for ~ in paths

• Various code and documentation cleanup
• Minor logic/bug fixes for command execution

Plus more. Stay tuned for more -- Google Spanner is coming Very Soon™

Significant updates to meta command handling, including improved help / support as well as a massive retooling of how drivers are built/supported.

• .usqlrc support
• Now prompts for a password on connect, as well as psql compatible -w and -W cli options
• \i and \ir and their \include and \include_relative variant meta commands have been fixed
• Better meta command help
• Issues with database URLs fixed
• Output issues on Windows fixed
• Standardized/better driver error messages
• Additional psql compatibility command line options, meta commands
• Drivers can now be included using go build -tags <driver> or, alternatively, excluded using go build -tags no_<driver>
• Additional build tags all and most added (most is same as all, but excludes the cgo drivers odbc and oracle)

Another general release, adding:

• Support for more databases (mymymsql, pgx, others)
• New meta command \connect_dsn to directly type a DSN
• Other meta commands
• Proper handling of file paths for Unix domain sockets for postgres and mysql drivers

Plus much much more!

Included in this release:

• Full overhaul of input handling; now better and more accurate, and almost identical to psql

• Significant addition of various psql backslash (\) meta commands (not yet documented)

Minor point release, fixing issues with Windows and readline.

This is a an initial proof of concept, working example of usql.

While usql is not yet stable or ready for production use, this release is being made available for testing purposes.
