Bugfixes and Minor Features

This release fixes a few issues identified in the 3.4.0-RC1, as well as the recent bugfixes from master. This release contains the following changes:

• Router::prefix() now supports a path option for customizing a prefix scope’s URL path.
• Postgres dialect now correctly handles nullable datetime columns.
• SqlServer dialect now correctly handles nullable datetime columns.
• Http\Client correctly generates request URIs when behind an HTTP proxy.
• Improved API documentation.
• Xml::build() now supports the parseHuge option to enable very large XML payloads to be loaded.
• A regression causing CLI subcommands to not inherit the parent shell’s options and arguments was fixed.

If there are no major issues reported, we will release 3.4.0 stable next week.
