0.760 (04.28.2010) - John Siracusa <siracusa@gmail.com>

      possible SQL injection attacks, and because the now-pervasive support
      for scalar-reference literals in Rose::DB::Object obviates the need 
      for such permissive SQL inlining.  To restore the old behavior, use
      the default_keyword_function_calls() class method or the

      will be used in preference to YAML if it's present.  (RT 31535)

0.746 (09.16.2008) - Justin Ellison <justin@techadvise.com>

      off by default, with new API to turn it back on and do the necessary
      pre-fork clean-up that this entails.  This change solved a segmentation
      fault problem triggered in DBD::Informix when database handles created
      in the parent were not properly disconnected prior to the first fork of
      the apache process.
