v1.5.2: Unified Hook Pipeline & Transaction Lifecycle

v1.5.2

• Hook unification: autoIn → Rebind → Hook is now a unified pipeline. Begin/Commit/Rollback fire Hooks.
• NewDb → NewDB (rename).
• QueryEvent.OperationType is now OpType enum: OpQuery, OpExec, OpBegin, OpCommit, OpRollback.
• QueryEvent.RowsAffected and LastInsertID now populated on exec.
• Tx.CloseWithErr now fires Hooks on both success and failure (was only failure).

sqlex v1.5.1 - Initial Release

🚀 What's New
sqlex is a modernized drop-in replacement for jmoiron/sqlx that addresses long-standing pain points while adding new capabilities:

Auto IN expansion — write WHERE id IN (?) with a slice, no more manual sqlx.In + Rebind dance
Pluggable Hooks — intercept SQL execution for logging, metrics, tracing, etc.
Auto placeholder conversion — use ? everywhere, automatically converts to $1, @p1, etc. per database
Generic JSON support — JSONValue[T] maps JSON columns to strong types
Go 1.21+ — uses any, modern error handling, actively maintained
