Merge pull request #284 from kares/master

fix the (for some adapter gems) broken **1.2.4** release
version bump
markdown-ize and review README

README.rdoc -> .md
Merge pull request #286 from kares/master

README update + filled History.txt
left the gemspec date as generated previously (by hoe)
... thus latest gem releases show up "weird" old dates
review jdbc- gemspec descriptions and summaries
"better" (Rails-aware) RUBYLIB when running `rake rails:test`
require mocha from tests insteda of from Bundler
thus we avoid a deprecation warning with Mocha 0.13
setup activerecord/test dependencies into a rails group
(based on Rails/ActiveRecord 3.2.9)
unfortunately we need to declared actionpack due session tests
simply adding it into the RUBYLIB (from rails.rake) when running rake rails:test would get a bit complicated since there's a lot of versioned deps for the gem such as rack and others ...
we shall setup the connection methods when adapter is loaded
this is relevant when using the 'jdbcxxx' adapter AR than attempts to require the adapter file and expects a jdbcxxx_connection method to be available on AR::Base

this reverts 20522b6ce39a4a9d9c4aaade461b4480ef5a4ae7
but on the other hand jdbc- gems should get required (for now when establishing the connection) with the possibility to work even when the driver gem is not-available and the .jar is on CP
