Building on 1.16_1 to 1.16_3 this release fixes a few more issues and
has a large number of pod changes - see below.
Should be on CPAN soon (so all those cpan testers can get their hands on
it) but in the mean time you can find it:

=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.16_4 September 12, 2008
Small change to Makefile.PL to work around problem in darwin 8 with
iODBC which leads to "Symbol not found: _SQLGetPrivateProfileString"
errors.
Added new [n]varXXX(max) column type tests to 20SqlServer.t.
Fixed support for SQL_WCHAR and SQL_WVARCHAR support in non-unicode
build. These types had ended up only being included for unicode
builds.
More changes to ODBC pod to 1) encourage people to use CPAN::Reporter,
2) rework contributing section, 3) mention DBIx::Log4perl 4) add a
BUGS section 5) add a "ODBC Support in ODBC Drivers" section etc.
Changed default fallback parameter bind type to SQL_WVARCHAR for
unicode builds. This affects ODBC drivers which don't have
SQLDescribeParam. Problem reported by Vasili Galka with MS Access when
reading unicode data from one table and inserting it into another
table. The read data was unicode but it was inserted as SQL_CHARs
because SQLDescribeParam does not exist in MS Access so we fallback to
either a default bind type (which was SQL_VARCHAR) or whatever was
specified in the bind_param call.
Fixed bug in 20SqlServer.t when DBI_DSN is defined including "DSN=".
