of the "constants" :func:`.null`, :func:`.true`, and :func:`.false`
has been reverted.   These functions returning a "singleton" object
had the effect that different instances would be treated as the
same regardless of lexical use, which in particular would impact
the rendering of the columns clause of a SELECT statement.

the given object if the object had been subject to a delete
operation that was flushed, but not committed.  This would also
affect related operations like :func:`.make_transient`.

already have more than one ForeignKeyConstraint referring to them.
This limits the check to what we hope is the most common case,
but we benefit that the memory and config-time impact is scaled back
dramatically.

ultimately will populate a foreign key column in conflict with
another, where the relationships are attempting to copy values
from different source columns.  This occurs in the case where
composite foreign keys with overlapping columns are mapped to
relationships that each refer to a different referenced column.
A new documentation section illustrates the example as well as how
to overcome the issue by specifying "foreign" columns specifically
on a per-relationship basis.

and parameters are not displayed if None, reducing confusion for
error messages that weren't related to a statement.  The full
module and classname for the DBAPI-level exception is displayed,
making it clear that this is a wrapped DBAPI exception.  The
statement and parameters themselves are bounded within a bracketed
sections to better isolate them from the error message and from
each other.

names in the given dictionary of values into mapped attribute names
against the mapped class being updated.  Previously, string names
were taken in directly and passed to the core update statement without
any means to resolve against the mapped entity.  Support for synonyms
and hybrid attributes as the subject attributes of
:meth:`.Query.update` are also supported.

"binds" (e.g. engines to use), such engines can be associated with
mixin classes, concrete subclasses, as well as a wider variety
of table metadata such as joined inheritance tables.

ORM functions that are derived as "public factory" symbols, which
should assist with documentation tools being able to report on the
target module.

the  python 3 merge, now does not expect percent signs (e.g.
as used as the modulus operator and others) to be doubled,
even when using the "pyformat" bound parameter format (this
change is not documented by Mysqlconnector).  The dialect now
checks for py2k and for mysqlconnector less than version 2.0
when detecting if the modulus operator should be rendered as
``%%`` or ``%``.
- Unicode SQL is now passed for MySQLconnector version 2.0 and above;
for Py2k and MySQL < 2.0, strings are encoded.  Note that mysqlconnector
as of 2.0.1 appears to have a bug with unicode DDL on py2k, so the tests here
are skipping until we observe it's fixed.
- take out profiling on mysqlconnector, callcounts vary too much with
its current development speed
