The API reference gained the Row section with the release, which is the right home for the details and the wrong place to discover the feature exists. Three gaps closed. The IfxPy migration guide is the page for people in exactly the position that prompted this: IfxPy is positional-only, so those codebases grow a description/zip helper that yields a dict and still no attribute access. That page now shows the helper it replaces alongside the one-liner, and notes the .lower() in the hand-written version is already a no-op since Informix folds unquoted identifiers. Quickstart gains one sentence, next to the paramstyle note where someone is already thinking about how rows come back. The phase log records 2026.09.03, including where the testing actually found the shadowed-names bug: not in the differential test across twenty awkward types, which found nothing, but in six lines of name bookkeeping that were correct when written and stopped being correct an hour later. Verified live by content, and the #rows anchor the new cross-links point at resolves.
