 **********
 
 - **Security:** Fixed a bug where the ``sanitize_filename()`` function from the Security helper would throw an error when used in CLI requests.
+- **Session:** Fixed a bug where using the ``DatabaseHandler`` with an unsupported database driver (such as ``SQLSRV``, ``OCI8``, or ``SQLite3``) did not throw an appropriate error.
