existing data already within the database. Values of None/NULL are as before

.. note::
this change had an unintended side effect that the interpretation of non-
integer values, such as strings, also changed in behavior such that the
string value ``"0"`` would be interpreted as "true", but only on backends
that don't have a native boolean datatype - on "native boolean" backends
like Postgresql, the string value ``"0"`` is passed directly to the driver
and is interpreted as "false". This is an inconsistency that did not occur
with the previous implementation.It should be noted that passing strings or
any other value outside of ``None``, ``True``, ``False``, ``1``, ``0`` to
the :class:`.Boolean` datatype is **not supported** and version 1.2 will
raise an error for this scenario (or possibly just emit a warning, TBD).
