1.0b5 (2011-12-22)
------------------

1.0b4 (2011-09-23)

1.0b2 (2011-05-04)
------------------

- Added `is_testing` property as a convenience API.
- Added `exists` property as a convenience API.


1.0b1 (2011-04-12)
------------------

- Changed the protocol for using test databases: separated instantiating a
  Database instance from creating the database on the server. Creating
  Database instances is cheap now so they can be interacted with and passed
  around, deferring the expensive database creation on the server to the
  moment db.create() is called explicitly. This is also more symmetric with
  respect to db.drop().

- Added functionality for dropping all databases matching the testdb naming
  scheme which may have been left on the server by earlier test runs.
  Optionally also drops the template db.

- Added option to specify the name of the database for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

- Added an option to specify a template database for PostgreSQL. If it does
  not exist, it is created from the specified schema. It is also possible to
  force the creation of the template even if it exists (dropping the current
  template database). Whenever the schema has changed since the template db
  was last created, the template db is updated automatically.


0.4 (2010-12-15)
----------------

- Added option to specify the encoding for the PostgreSQL database.

- Updated PostgreSQL protocol from ``postgres:`` to ``postgresql:`` as the
  former one is deprecated in SQLAlchemy 0.6, thus requiring atleast version
  0.5.6 of SQLAlchemy.

- Added documentation how to develop this package further.

- Added doumentation about usage of `Database prefix`_


0.3 (2010-10-15)
----------------

- PostgreSQL: Don't call createdb/dropdb with ``--quite`` but only psql.

0.2 (2009-02-26)
----------------
