+# Change Log
+
+## node-oracledb v0.5.0 (5 May 2015)
+
+- isAutoCommit attribute name changed to autoCommit
+
+- isExternalAuth attribute name changed to externalAuth
+
+- Added support for DML RETURNING bind variables
+
+## node-oracledb v0.4.2 (28 Mar 2015)
+
+- node-oracledb is now officially installable from https://www.npmjs.com/package/oracledb
+
+- Added metadata support. Query column names are now provided in the execute() callback result object.
+
+- Require a more recent version of Node.js 0.10.
+
+- Changed the default Instant Client directory on AIX from /opt/oracle/instantclient_12_1 to /opt/oracle/instantclient.
+
+## node-oracledb v0.4.1 (13 Mar 2015)
+
+- Added support for External Authentication.
+
+- The isAutoCommit flags now works with query execution. This is useful in cases where multiple DML statements are executed followed by a SELECT statement. This can be used to avoid a round trip to the database that an explicit call to commit() would add.
+
+- Added AIX build support to package.json.
+
+- Improved errors messages when setting out of range property values.
+
+- Fixed a bug: When terminate() of a connection pool fails because connections have not yet been closed, subsequent use of release() to close those connections no longer gives an error "ORA-24550: Signal Received".
+
+## node-oracledb v0.3.1 (16 Feb 2015)
+
+- Added Windows build configuration.
+
+- Added Database Resident Connection Pooling (DRCP) support.
+
+- Made an explicit connection release() do a rollback, to be consistent with the implicit release behavior.
+
+- Made install on Linux look for Oracle libraries in a search order.
+
+- Added RPATH support on Linux.
+
+- Changed default Oracle Instant client paths to /opt/oracle/instantclient and C:\oracle\instantclient
+
+- Added a compile error message "Oracle 11.2 or later client libraries are required for building" if attempting to build with older Oracle client libraries.
+
+- Fixed setting the isAutoCommit property.
+
+- Fixed a crash using pooled connections on Windows.
+
+- Fixed a crash querying object types.
+
+- Fixed a crash doing a release after a failed terminate. (The Pool is still unusable - this will be fixed later)
