+- specfile:
+  * run spec-cleaner
+
+- update to version 1.2.6:
+  * orm
+    + [orm] [bug] Fixed bug where using Mutable.associate_with() or
+      Mutable.as_mutable() in conjunction with a class that has non-
+      primary mappers set up with alternatively-named attributes would
+      produce an attribute error. Since non-primary mappers are not
+      used for persistence, the mutable extension now excludes
+      non-primary mappers from its instrumentation steps.  References:
+      #4215
+  * engine
+    + [engine] [bug] Fixed bug in connection pool where a connection
+      could be present in the pool without all of its “connect” event
+      handlers called, if a previous “connect” handler threw an
+      exception; note that the dialects themselves have connect
+      handlers that emit SQL, such as those which set transaction
+      isolation, which can fail if the database is in a non-available
+      state, but still allows a connection. The connection is now
+      invalidated first if any of the connect handlers fail.
+      References: #4225
+  * sql
+    + [sql] [bug] Fixed a regression that occurred from the previous
+      fix to #4204 in version 1.2.5, where a CTE that refers to itself
+      after the CTE.alias() method has been called would not refer to
+      iself correctly.  References: #4204
+  * postgresql
+    + [postgresql] [feature] Added support for “PARTITION BY” in
+      Postgresql table definitions, using
+      “postgresql_partition_by”. Pull request courtesy Vsevolod
+      Solovyov.
+  * mssql
+    + [mssql] [bug] Adjusted the SQL Server version detection for
+      pyodbc to only allow for numeric tokens, filtering out
+      non-integers, since the dialect does tuple- numeric comparisons
+      with this value. This is normally true for all known SQL Server
+      / pyodbc drivers in any case.  References: #4227
+  * oracle
+    + [oracle] [bug] The minimum cx_Oracle version supported is 5.2
+      (June 2015). Previously, the dialect asserted against version
+      5.0 but as of 1.2.2 we are using some symbols that did not
+      appear until 5.2.  References: #4211
+  * misc
+    + [bug] [declarative] Removed a warning that would be emitted when
+      calling upon __table_args__, __mapper_args__ as named with a
+      @declared_attr method, when called from a non-mapped declarative
+      mixin. Calling these directly is documented as the approach to
+      use when one is overidding one of these methods on a mapped
+      class. The warning still emits for regular attribute names.
+      References: #4221
