RE: [fw-db] ZF 1.6RC1, DB adapters and Character Set

Sorry, Bill is right. Simon Mundy has been working on this feature. I
mistakenly added it to the RC1 release notes thinking he had already
checked it in. I'm still waiting to hear from him on whether he'll have
a commit ready for RC2.
Thanks for reminding me to update the release notes!
