I will probably release this as 1.41 in the next week. Please note the
changes in behaviour.
=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.40_3 October 8 2012
[BUG FIXES]
Oops, changes to some rt tests fail when not run to MS SQL Server
and they should not be run for other drivers - there was a double
done_testing call.
[CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR]
As I warned literally years ago DBD::ODBC's private function
DescribeCol has been removed. You can use DBI's statement attributes
like NAME, PRECISION etc, instead. All test code has been changed to
remove calls to DescribeCol and GetTypeInfo.
[MISCELLANEOUS]
New example sqlserver_supplementary_chrs.pl added which shows that
in MS SQL Server 2012 you can now store unicode characters
over 0xFFFF (ones which are surrogate pairs).
More documentation for odbc_out_connect_string.
=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.40_2 September 6 2012
[BUG FIXES]
Fixed rt 78838 - bind_param does not correctly stringify blessed
objects when connected to MS SQL Server
Fix issue in dbd_bind_ph where if you passed a sql type and were
also attempting to change from in to out or vice versa or increasing
the size of an output bound param it would not spot this error.
Allowed the test cases to spot DB2 driver as libXXXdb2.
[MISCELLANEOUS]
New test cases added for some rts.
Added Test::NoWarnings to some tests where it was missing.
=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.40_1 September 4 2012
[BUG FIXES]
Debian/Ubuntu have moved unixODBC into /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
so look in this dir for unixODBC as well - thanks to Meastro for finding.
Fixed rt 78838
I had a sequence point error which is only seen with some compilers
as it is sometimes optimized out. It could cause DBD::ODBC to omit
adding the UID/PWD to the end of the connection string when using DSN=.
Thanks to Zsolt Cserna for spotting it and to ilmari and Leon for
explaining it to me.
Fixed rt 79397
Output bound parameters may be incorrectly bound if changed after
bind_param_inout is called. If you start with an undef bound param
and change it to a defined string/number less than 28 characters
before calling execute the original undef will probably be bound.
Thanks to runrig on perl monks for providing an example.
[CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR]
If you attempt to bind an rv without amagic DBD::ODBC will now
croak - related to rt 78838.
