v2.30

  * datatool.sty

   - bug fix: spurious spaces in \@dtl@lopoff 
    (used by \DTLloaddb and DTLloadrawdb)

v2.29

  * datatool.sty:

   - bug fix https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/400921

v2.28:

  * datatool.sty:

   - added \xdtlgetrowindex

   - \DTLloadrawdb: changed \xdef to \protected@xdef

   - some bug fixes

  * datatool-base.sty:

   - added \DTLformatlist and accompanying commands
     \DTLlistformatsep, \DTLlistformatoxford, \DTLlistformatlastsep,
     \DTLandname and \DTLlistformatitem.

  * datagidx.sty:

   - changed initialisation of label in \datagidx@setfieldvalues

   - \datagidxstripaccents now changes \add@accent@, 
     \@text@composite@x and \@tabacckludge

   - added \datagidxextendedtoascii

   - \printterms uses \twocolumn if balance=false and columns=2

v2.27:

  * datatool-base:

   - reverted \dtl@insertinto to pre v2.26. (The bug fixes
     in v2.26 caused backward-compatibility issues, which 
     break glossaries.sty's "noidx" code.)

   - new commands \dtlsortlist and \dtlinsertinto (which
     are how \dtl@sortlist and \dtl@insertinto ought to
     behave but don't). The internal commands are left for
     backward compatibility. The user commands should be
     used for the correct function. (Added new section in
     the user manual documenting these new commands.)

   - new command \edtlinsertinto

v2.26:

  * datatool-base:

    - fixed bug in \dtl@insertinto

    - fixed bug in \DTLpiechart caused by truncation error

    - \FP... code replaced by \dtl... code

v2.25:

  * datatool-base:

    - \dtlcompare, \dtlicompare, \@dtldictcompare:
      added \expandonce to definitions of \dtl@donext to
      prevent unwanted expansion of non-ASCII characters.

  * datatool user guide:

    - Added section "Advanced Iteration".

v2.24:

      \dtlsetUTFviiicharcode, \dtlsetUTFviiilccharcode
      \dtlsetdefaultUTFviiicharcode and
      \dtlsetdefaultUTFviiilccharcode for use with the comparison
      handlers.

v2.23:

      now correctly uses case-sensitive sort.
