Changes for version 1.6.0 - 2025-10-06
- Refactored the parsing of arrays for engines that don't support arrays (e.g., SQLite & Firebird). A new method in DBIEngine, `_parse_array`, replaces inline uses of `split`. This allows the tests to more consistently compare arrays as arrays, though `search_events` must now always parse `tags`, `requires`, and `conflicts`.
- Added support for ClickHouse. It relies on the `clickhouse` (or `clickhouse-client`) CLI and ODBC driver. Like MySQL, it uses a database for the registry schema, where the tables use the `MergeTree` engine. It supports client certificate authentication and the ClickHouse client configuration file format.
