ActiveRecord-JDBC version 0.5 has been released!

ActiveRecord-JDBC is a database adapter for Rails' ActiveRecord component that can be used with JRuby[http://www.jruby.org/]. It allows use of virtually any JDBC-compliant database with your JRuby on Rails application.

Changes:

## 0.5

- Release coincides with JRuby 1.0.1 release
- It is no longer necessary to specify :driver and :url configuration parameters for the mysql,
postgresql, oracle, derby, hsqldb, and h2 adapters. The previous configuration is still
valid and compatible, but for new applications, this makes it possible to use the exact same
database.yml configuration as Rails applications running under native Ruby.
- JDBC drivers can now be dynamically loaded by Ruby code, without being on the classpath prior to
launching JRuby. Simply use "require 'jdbc-driver.jar'" in JRuby code to add it to the runtime
classpath.
- Updates to HSQL, MS SQLServer, Postgres, Oracle and Derby adapters
