* Add support for MySQL binary types (also became default on newly-created databases).
* Add --rescan option.
* Add abe_loader tool to watch for and load new blocks.
* Add support for loading blocks using Bitcoin RPC
* Import unconfirmed transactions via RPC to bitcoind.
* Try to reconnect on stale db connection at transaction boundary.
* Crude SVG hash rate chart via nethash?format=svg.
* Increase maximum script length.
* Add /q/addressbalance.
* Don't mistake SQL syntax errors for idle timeouts.
* Try to get better error information after failure to read configvar.
* Doubled b58encode speed.
* Fix division-by-zero for truly zero-premine chains such as Doubloons.
* Support 32-byte pubkeys.
* Fix int-type detection for SQLite.
* Add Abe.admin CLI.
* Merge bitcointools upstream changes.
* Add --no-load option (webserver-only/skip load after --upgrade).
* Bug fix: KeyError: 'unlinked_count' in import_block.
* Fix string index out of range doing catch_up.
* Fix performance issue displaying large pages (page content returned as string, causing WSGIref to iterate over it).
* Support limited functionality without a database.
* Add Abe.abe --query option (cli for /q/COMMAND).
* Refactored external chains as independent objects.
* Add support for many external chains.
* Don't crash on page-not-found or chain-not-found.

* Namecoin: don't crash on merge-mined block.
* Fix Abe always defaulting to NO_CLOB when creating database.
* Use ORDER BY instead of MAX() to get last block (Much faster at least on MySQL/TukuDB).
* Disable resolving of http client IP addresses which could slow down or hang Abe when client (proxy) is remote.
* Fix binary-type and int-type parameters being ignored in favor of auto-detection
* Fix issue where Crypto.Hash.RIPEMD was never being used (was using hashlib's workaround only)

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=24209.0
