sqlmap/doc/ChangeLog

sqlmap (0.6.1-1) stable; urgency=low

  * Major bug fix to blind SQL injection bisection algorithm to handle an
    exception;
  * Added a Metasploit Framework 3 auxiliary module to run sqlmap;
  * Implemented possibility to test for and inject also on LIKE
    statements;
  * Implemented --start and --stop options to set the first and the last
    table entry to dump;
  * Added non-interactive/batch-mode (--batch) option to make it easy to
    wrap sqlmap in Metasploit and any other tool;
  * Minor enhancement to save also the length of query output in the
    session file when retrieving the query output length for ETA or for
    resume purposes;
  * Changed the order sqlmap dump table entries from column by column to
    row by row. Now it also dumps entries as they are stored in the tables,
    not forcing the entries' order alphabetically anymore;

sqlmap (0.5-1) stable; urgency=low

    database fingerprinting;

  * Important fixes in lib/option.py to make sqlmap properly work also
    with python 2.5 and handle the CSV dump files creation work also
    under Windows operating system, function __setCSVDir() and fixed

  * Minor enhancement in lib/injection.py to randomize the number
    requested to test the presence of a SQL injection affected parameter
    and implemented the possibilities to break (q) the for cycle when
