This is a bug fix release with fixes from lots of contributors:
- Column size fixed when binding Unicode parameters - noticed when using characters more than 2-bytes wide in UTF-16. Thanks Maxim Kouznetsov.
- v-chojas fixed use of Unicode connection strings in Python 2.7. Also removed arbitrary limit of connection string lengths.
- New SQL_CONVERT_X constants added by Jordan Bolton.
- The setinputsizes method has been overloaded by skeetor and can now accept data types and sizes, not just sizes.
- v-chojas added support for non-integer-valued connection attributes
- I cleaned up SQLite unit tests which were out of date and upgraded deprecated unittest methods from all tests. v-chojas made a fix to SQL Server test_drivers test and ensured they run against Python 2.6. (Though, it might be time to officially drop support for older Python versions?)
