6.1.0

6.1.0 - 2026-02-06

Summary

In this minor release, we have greatly added on to the User Guide for SQLAlchemy-Exasol:

• For getting started, check out the remastered Getting Started page.
• Our Configuration pages have been edited to be crisper and provide more information
  on forming your connection string and adhering to the best security practices.
• We have added a Features page, which gives an overview of benefits of using it.
  Many of these entries contain links to our new Examples section and relevant
  SQLAlchemy documentation.
• All of our code Examples are executed in the CI, so these should stay up-to-date
  as future work on SQLAlchemy-Exasol continues.

Additionally, the py.typed file has been added, so type hints can propagate.
