0.8.0   (not yet released)
        lexer has new option to output an invalid token on some kinds of
          parse errors
        switch tests to hspec
        improve parse error messages
0.7.1   fix error message source quoting
0.7.0   support autoincrement for sqlite
	support table constraints without separating comma for sqlite
	switch source from literate to regular haskell
	use megaparsec instead of parsec
	use prettyprinter lib instead of pretty
	parsing nested block comments regressed - post a bug if you need this
	fixed fixity parsing of union, except and intersect (matches postgres docs now)
	removed the Errors module - the pretty printer function for errors is in the Parse module
	parses from and pretty prints to strict Text
	use strict Text instead of String everywhere
	tested with latest three main ghc releases (9.8.1, 9.6.4, and 9.4.8) and stack lts 22.5
	the makeSelect helper is now a distinct type, code using it will need some trivial
	  tweaks, this is change so that code using makeSelect doesn't emit warnings
	overhaul website
0.6.1   added odbc handling to sqlsqerver dialect
		added sqlserver dialect case for convert function
0.6.0
        tested with ghc 8.8.1 also
        change the dialect handling - now a dialect is a bunch of flags
          plus a keyword list, and custom dialects are now feasible
          (still incomplete)
        fix parsing for a lot of things which are keywords in the standard
        fix bug with cte pretty printing an extra 'as', which the parser
          also incorrectly accepted
        bug fix: allow keywords that are quoted to be parsed as identifiers

0.5.0
        update to work with ghc 8.6.5, also tested with 8.4.4 and 8.2.1
	rename some of the modules Lexer -> Lex, Parser -> Parse
	add a separate lexer to simplify code and speed up parsing
	replace SqlIndent with new tool, SimpleSqlParserTool (amazing
	  name) which can indent, and parse and lex.
	experiments in new approach to dealing with fixities with separate
	  pass after parsing
	dml :add support for insert, update, delete and truncate
	ddl: add limited support for create schema, plus drop schema
	  create, alter and drop table with defaults and constraints
	  create, alter and drop for domain, view, sequence
	  create and drop for assertion
	access control: simple create and drop for role
	simple grant and revoke
	limited support for transaction management: start transation,
	rollback, commit, savepoint
	fix the precendence of operators which was following the weird
	  postgresql 9.4 and earlier precendences instead of the standard
	refactor the syntax for names, identifiers and strings slightly
	refactor the dialect support, add some support for postgresql
	  syntax
	change parsing of identifiers and strings to not unescape the
	  identifier or string text during parsing
	add some explicit parse failures for probably ambiguous text
	  */ without /* (outside quoted identifier, string) will fail
	  .,e,E following a number without whitespace always fails
	  three symbols together fails explicitly, instead of trying to
	    lex and giving a less good error at parse time (applies to |
	    and : in postgres dialect)
	fix parsing of functions whose name is a keyword (e.g. abs)
	add basic support for parsing odbc syntax ({d 'literals'} {fn
	  app(something)} and {oj t1 left outer join ... }
	rename ValueExpr -> ScalarExpr (I think scalar expression is
	  slightly less incorrect)
        rename CombineQueryExpr to QueryExprSetOp and CombineOp to SetOperatorName
        use explicit data type for sign in interval literals
        add comments to statement syntax (aimed at codegen)
        add support for oracle type size units 'char' and 'byte', example: varchar2(55 byte)
        updated the makefile to use cabal v2 commands
        fix for parsing window functions with keyword names
0.4.4
	tested with ghc 8.2.1 and 8.4.3
0.4.3
	tested with ghc 8.0.2 and 8.2.1
0.4.1 (commit c156c5c34e91e1f7ef449d2c1ea14e282104fd90)
	tested with ghc 7.4.2, 7.6.3, 7.8.4,7.10.0.20150123
	simple demonstration of how dialects could be handled internally
	add ability to add comments to syntax tree to help with generating
	SQL code
0.4.0 (commit 7914898cc8f07bbaf8358d208469392346341964)
	now targets SQL:2011
	update to ghc 7.8.2
	remove dependency on haskell-src-exts
	derive Data and Typeable in all the syntax types
	improve the error messages a great deal
	sql features:
	parse schema qualified table names in from clause (thanks to Sönke
	  Hahn)
	support multiline string literals
	support colon prefix host parameters and introducer
	support unique predicate
	support match predicate
	support array constructors and subscripting
	support character set literals
	support collate
	support escape for string literals as a postfix operator
	parse schema/whatever qualified ids in various places: identifiers
	  (replaces equivalent functionality using '.' operator), function,
	  aggregate, window function names, explicit tables and functions in
	  from clauses, typenames
	support almost all typename syntax for SQL:2011 (just missing refs)
	support most multiset operations (missing some predicates only,
	  likely to be added before next release)
	support two double quotes in a quoted identifier to represent a
	  quote character in the identifier
	support filter and within group for aggregates
	support next value for
	parse special nullary functions
	annoying changes:
	replace Int with Integer in the syntax
	remove support for parsing clauses after the from clause if there
	  is no from clause
	change the syntax representation of quantified comparison
	  predicates
	change the hardcoded collate keyword in substring and trim to use
	  the new collate postfix operator, this also changes the collation
	  name to be an identifier instead of a string
	represent missing setquantifier as a literal default instead of as
	  the actual default value (all in select, distinct in set
	  operators)
	same for sort directions in order by
	implement complete interval literals (fixed the handling of the
	  interval qualifier)
	make most of the standard reserved words actually reserved (still
	  some gaps)
	change the natural in join abstract syntax to match the concrete
	  syntax instead of combining natural, on and using into one field
	remove support for postgresql limit syntax
	bug fixes:
	fix some trailing whitespace issues in the keyword style functions,
	  e.g. extract(day from x), dealing with trailing whitespace on
	  the parens was fixed
	improve some cases of parsing chained prefix or postfix operators
	  (still some issues here)
	fix bug where the 'as' was incorrectly optional in a 'with
	  expression list item'
	fix bug in set operations where 'all' was assumed as the default
	  instead of 'distinct', e.g. 'select * from t union select * from
	  u' was parsed to 'select * from t union all select * from u'
	  instead of 'select * from t union distinct select * from u'.
	fix corresponding bug where 'distinct' was being pretty printed in
	  this case and 'all' was not since the assumed default was the
	  wrong way round
	fix some trailing junk lexing issues with symbols and number
	  literals
	fix number literals to accept upper case E

	rename qeDuplicates to qeSetQuantifier
	rename OrderField to SortSpec

	rename tools/PrettyIt to tools/SQLIdent and add to cabal file as
	  optional executable (disabled by default)
	rename the qeFetch field in Select to qeFetchFirst
	change the pretty printer to use 'fetch first' instead of
