+= New Features
+
+* An auto_cast_date_and_time extension has been added, which will
+ automatically cast date and time values using SQL standard functions.
+ This makes sure the database will treat the value as a date, time,
+ or timestamp, instead of treating it as a string or unknown type:
+
+ DB.get(Date.today).class
+ # SELECT '2024-01-01' AS v LIMIT 1
+ String
+
+ DB.extension(:auto_cast_date_and_time)
+ DB.get(Date.today).class
+ # SELECT DATE '2024-01-01' AS v LIMIT 1
+ Date
+
+ This was already Sequel's default behavior on adapters that required
+ it. This extension is usable on PostgreSQL and MySQL. It is not
+ usable on SQLite (no date/time types) or Microsoft SQL Server (no
+ support for the SQL standard conversion syntax).
+
+ This extension can break code that currently works. If using it on
+ PostgreSQL, it will cast the values to TIMESTAMP, not TIMESTAMP
+ WITH TIME ZONE, which can break code that depended on an implicit
+ conversion to TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE. The pg_timestamptz
+ extension integrates with the the auto_cast_date_and_time extension
+ and will implicitly cast Time/DateTime to TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.
+
+* The sqlite adapter now supports a :cached value for the
+ :setup_regexp_function Database option, which will cache regexp
+ values instead of creating a new regexp per value to compare. This
+ is much faster when using a regexp comparison on a large dataset,
+ but can result in a memory leak if using dynamic regexps. You can
+ also provide a Proc value for the :setup_regexp_function option,
+ which will be passed both the regexp source string and the database
+ string to compare, and should return whether the database string
+ matches the regexp string.
+
+* The rcte_tree plugin now supports a :union_all option, which can
+ be set to false to use UNION instead of UNION ALL in the recursive
+ common table expression.
+
+= Other Improvements
+
+* Time/DateTime/SQLite literalization speed has more than doubled
+ compared to the previous version. The internal code is also much
+ simpler, as the speedup resulted from removing multiple abstraction
+ layers that mostly existed for Ruby 1.8 support.
+
+* Database#table_exists? on PostgreSQL now handles lock or statement
+ timeout errors as evidence the table exists.
+
+* The round_timestamps extension now correctly rounds SQLTime values
+ on Microsoft SQL Server (the only database Sequel supports where
+ time precision is different than timestamp precision).
+
+* Fractional times and timestamps are now supported on SQLAnywhere,
+ except for time values when using the jdbc adapter due to a
+ limitation in the JDBC sqlanywhere driver.
+
+* Database#tables and #views on PostgreSQL now supports
+ SQL::Identifier values for the :schema option.
+
+* The named_timezones extension now works around a bug in DateTime.jd
+ on JRuby.
+
+= Backwards Compatibility
+
+* Time/DateTime/SQLTime literalization internals have changed.
+ If you are using an external adapter and the external adapter
+ overrides or calls any of the following methods:
+
+ * requires_sql_standard_datetimes?
+ * supports_timestamp_usecs?
+ * supports_timestamp_timezones?
+ * timestamp_precision
+ * sqltime_precision
+
+ then the adapter may need to be updated to support Sequel 5.76.0.
+ Additionally, if the adapter uses %N or %z in
+ default_timestamp_format, it may need to be updated. Adapters
+ should now just override default_timestamp_format and/or
+ default_time_format methods as appropriate for the database.
+
+* The Dataset#format_timestamp_offset private method has been
+ removed.
