Here’s a snapshot of what we've accomplished in this initial release:

Major Highlights:

• Initial Setup and Foundation: The groundwork of the library has been established, providing a solid base for database interaction functionalities. This includes the initial setup of core components such as the Connection Manager and Query Builder, alongside the foundational architecture for type conversion and exception handling.

• Docblock Documentation: Comprehensive in-line documentation has been added across the library, leveraging docblocks to ensure clear, accessible documentation for developers. This effort aims to facilitate easier integration and utilization of the library in projects by providing immediate, in-context explanations and usage details.

Features at a Glance:

• Connection Management: Simplifies the management of database connections, providing a streamlined process for establishing and maintaining connections with various database systems.

• Query Builder: Introduces a fluent interface for crafting SQL queries, supporting dynamic construction of queries with enhanced parameter management.

• Type Conversion: Implements an extensible mechanism for converting data between PHP types and database types, facilitating seamless data handling.

• Exception Handling: Delivers a comprehensive set of exceptions designed for precise error handling during database operations, aiding in the development of robust applications.
