-
-- **Database Metadata & Introspection:** Added comprehensive `getInfo()` method and extensive catalog APIs (`SQLGetTypeInfo`, `SQLProcedures`, `SQLForeignKeys`, `SQLColumns`) for complete database schema discovery and introspection capabilities.
-- **Advanced Parameter Management:** Implemented `setinputsizes()` with SQL type constants and enhanced parameter validation through the `SQLTypes` class for precise type control in parameterized queries.
-- **Large Data Streaming Enhancements:** Extended streaming support to VARBINARY(MAX) and VARCHAR(MAX) across all fetch operations (`fetchone`, `fetchmany`, `fetchall`) with improved chunked retrieval for efficient memory usage.
-- **Output Data Conversion System:** Introduced flexible output converter framework with `add_output_converter()`, `remove_output_converter()`, and related methods for customizable data transformations during result fetching.
-- **Connection-Level Execute:** Added direct `execute()` method to Connection class for streamlined query execution without explicit cursor management.
-- **Financial Data Type Support:** Comprehensive support for SQL Server MONEY and SMALLMONEY types with proper boundary value handling and decimal precision.
-- **Enhanced Configuration APIs:** Added connection timeout control, decimal separator configuration (`getDecimalSeperator()`, `setDecimalSeperator()`), and improved global variable management.

+- **Complex Data Type Support:** Added native support for DATETIMEOFFSET and UNIQUEIDENTIFIER data types with full round-trip handling, enabling seamless integration with Python's timezone-aware `datetime` objects and `uuid.UUID` types.
+- **Support for monetary or currency values data types:** Extended MONEY and SMALLMONEY support to `executemany` operations with proper NULL handling and decimal conversion for improved bulk financial data processing.
+- **Improved Database Metadata API:** Added `getinfo()` method with enhanced ODBC metadata retrieval, allowing users to query driver/data source information using ODBC info types.
+- **Data Processing Optimizations:** Removed aggressive datetime parsing to prevent incorrect type conversions and improve data integrity across diverse datetime formats and string data.
