HikariCP 1.3.4 released

[Brett Wooldridge]

HikariCP 1.3.4 has been released and the artifacts published to the Maven Central Repository.

Changes between 1.3.3 and 1.3.4

 *) Added new property isolateInternalQueries used to control whether
    internal pool queries such as connection alive tests are isolated
    in their own transaction.

 *) Added properties for DriverManager (driverClassName) and JDBC URL-based
    (jdbcUrl) configuration.  1999 called and wants its JDBC driver back.

 *) Added new username and password properties to allow default authentication
    for connections.

 *) Added support for the getConnection(username, password) method signature
    to HikariDataSource.

 *) Added new property readOnly to control the default read-only status
    of connections in the pool.

 *) Deprecated acquireIncrement property.

 *) Deprecated acquireRetries property.

 *) Deprecated acquireRetryDelay property.

 *) Deprecated minimumPoolSize property.

 *) Added new property minimumIdle used to control the minimum number of
    idle connections the pool should try to maintain on a running basis.

 *) Added evictConnection(Connection) method to HikariDataSource to allow
    special cases where users wish to forcibly eject a connection from
    the pool.  To use used cautiously, read the JavaDoc before using.

 *) Various bug fixes and minor enhancements.

We would like to extend special thanks to Chris Vest, Guillaume Smet, Robert DiFalco, and Nitan Chauhan
for their valuable input.
