The new PECL package sqlsrv-5.2.1preview (devel) has been released at 
http://pecl.php.net/.

Release notes
-------------
[Added]
- Added support for Azure Key Vault for Always Encrypted for basic CRUD 
functionalities such that Always Encrypted feature is also available to Linux 
or macOS users 
- Added support for macOS High Sierra (requires [MS ODBC Driver 
17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017))
[Fixed]
- Issue [#577](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/577) - Idle 
Connection Resiliency doesn't work with Column Encryption enabled connection
- Issue [#678](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/678) - Idle 
Connection Resiliency doesn't work with Connection Pooling bug
- Issue [#699](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/699) - Binding 
output parameter failed when the query in the stored procedure returned no 
data. The test case has been added to the test lab.
- Issue [#705](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/705) - AE - 
Retrieving a negative decimal value (edge case) as output parameter causes 
truncation
- Issue [#706](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/706) - AE - Cannot 
insert double with precision and scale (38, 38)
- Pull Request [#759](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/759) - Removed 
the limitation of binding a binary as inout param as PDO::PARAM_STR with 
SQLSRV_ENCODING_BINARY
- Pull Request [#775](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/775) - Fixed 
the problem for output params with SQL types specified as 
SQLSRV_SQLTYPE_DECIMAL or SQLSRV_SQLTYPE_NUMERIC
[Limitations]
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
- In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the 
first connection. The subsequent locale setting will not work
- Always Encrypted feature, which requires [MS ODBC Driver 
17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017)
  - only Windows Certificate Store and Azure Key Vault are supported
  - Issue [#716](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/716) - With 
Always Encrypted feature enabled, Named Parameters in Sub Queries are not 
supported
  - [Always Encrypted 
limitations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/php/using-always-encrypted-php-drivers?view=sql-server-2017#limitations-of-the-php-drivers-when-using-always-encrypted)
[Known Issues]
- Connection pooling on Linux or macOS not recommended with 
[unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) < 2.3.6
- When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
  - unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostics 
information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
  - due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams 
as a workaround. See the examples 
[here](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#pooling)
- With ColumnEncryption enabled, calling stored procedure with XML parameter 
does not work (Issue [#674](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/674))

Package Info
-------------
The Microsoft Drivers for PHP for SQL Server are PHP extensions that allow for 
the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. The SQLSRV 
extension provides a procedural interface while the PDO_SQLSRV extension 
implements PDO for accessing data in all editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 and 
later (including Azure SQL DB). These drivers rely on the Microsoft ODBC Driver 
for SQL Server to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.
*This package contains only the SQLSRV driver.*
