There were a lot changes since the 1.0 release on 12 Aug 2002.

• All existing features can now be configured by JNDI Context providers (Tomcat)


• The double close() of a pooled connection is more effectively blocked (you may experience more "Already closed" SQLExceptions)


• Prepared statement pooling is now implemented in BasicDataSource (set poolPreparedStatements=true, maxOpenPreparedStatements=xxx)


• Access to the underlying connection is blocked by default You can access the underlying connection by setting accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed=true and by using the following construct: Connection dconn = ((DelegatingConnection) conn).getInnermostDelegate();


• New minIdle parameter for a minimum number of idle connections ready for use


• New connection default properties: defaultCatalog and defaultTransactionIsolation


• Missing driverClassName will now give the following error "No suitable driver"


• Bad validationQuery will produce a meaningful SQLException


• UML Class and sequence diagrams, configuration documentation


• The following issues were resolved since v1.0: (see Bugzilla for complete description)
