-* Added methods to retrieve lists of tables, generators, views, stored procedures and roles.
-* Added .NET-style connection strings.
-* Improved reporting on column types.
-* Added the option to report column names in lowercase where they were not already in mixed case (this feature is for Rails).

-* Implement explicit end-of-data flag for cursors to avoid synchronization error in newer Firebird builds.
-* Allocated longer buffers to avoid memory access error reported by valgrind
-* Tightened up C syntax for stricter compilers.
-* Factored symbol and regex creation out to global scope for efficiency.
-* Removed global transaction functions that weren't exposed anyway.
-* Removed remaining global state. This should allow for better concurrency.
