Release notes ------------- [Added] - Added support for PHP 7.3 - Added support for Linux SUSE 15, Ubuntu 18.10 and mac OS Mojave - Feature Request [#415](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/886) - new options at connection and statement levels for both drivers for formatting decimal values in the fetched results - Added support for Azure AD Access Token (in Linux / macOS this requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server) and [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) 2.3.6+) - Added support for Authentication with Azure Active Directory using Managed Identity for Azure Resources (requires [MS ODBC Driver 17.3+](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server)) - Feature Request [#842](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/842) - new PDO_STMT_OPTION_FETCHES_DATETIME_TYPE flag for pdo_sqlsrv to return datetime as objects [Removed] - Dropped support for Linux Ubuntu 17.10 and mac OS El Capitan - Dropped support for PHP 7.0 - [Version 5.3](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/php/system-requirements-for-the-php-sql-driver?view=sql-server-2017) is the last to support PHP 7.0. [Fixed] - Issue [#434](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/434) - To avoid possible crashes, before freeing stmt in the destructor check if its dbh driver data is NULL - Pull Request [#833](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/833) - Streamlined the error handling to remove a potential cause of crash - Pull Request [#836](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/836) - Modified the config files to enable Spectre Mitigations (use /Qspectre switch) for PHP 7.2 (see related Request [#878](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/878)) - Pull Request [#854](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/854) - Clear Azure Key Vault data after connection attributes are successfully set or when exception is thrown - Pull Request [#855](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/855) - Improved performance by saving meta data before fetching and skipping unnecessary conversions for numeric data - Pull Request [#865](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/865) - Corrected the way SQLPutData and SQLParamData are used when sending stream data to the server - Pull Request [#878](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/878) - Modified the config files to enable Spectre Mitigations for PHP 7.1 (see related Request [#836](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/836)) - Pull Request [#891](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/891) - Improved performance of Unicode conversions - Pull Request [#892](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/892) - Removed warning messages while compiling extensions - Pull Request [#904](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/904) - Enabled compiling extensions statically into PHP - Pull Request [#907](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/907) - Initialized output param buffer when allocating extra space - Pull Request [#919](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/919) - Initialized a boolean variable before passing it by reference into a function that will modify its value [Limitations] - No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type - No support for inout / output params when formatting decimal values - In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the first connection. Attempting to set the locale after connecting will not work - Always Encrypted 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. Custom Keystores are not yet supported - Issue [#716](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/716) - With Always Encrypted enabled, named parameters in subqueries 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 is not recommended with [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) < 2.3.7 - When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS - unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostic 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)) - In SUSE 15, Azure Active Directory connections may fail if PHP is installed from packages (Issue [#934](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/934)) 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 PDO_SQLSRV driver.* Related Links ------------- Package home: https://pecl.php.net/package/pdo_sqlsrv Changelog: https://pecl.php.net/package-changelog.php?package=pdo_sqlsrv Download: https://pecl.php.net/get/pdo_sqlsrv-5.6.0.tgz Authors ------------- Jay Kint <jayk...@microsoft.com> (lead) Meet Bhagdev <me...@microsoft.com> (lead) Marie Barwin (lead) Jenny Tam (lead) -- PECL development discussion Mailing List (http://pecl.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
