What's new?

This release focused on session pools. Specifically, a session callback may
now be specified when a pool is created. This allows an application to
improve performance by reducing the number of round trips to the database
needed in order to set session state.

A number of smaller enhancements and bug fixes were also made. See the full
release notes for all of the details:
