iODBC Driver Manager and SDK

This version sees the project hosting transferred to GitHub for future development and the conversion of Mac OS X UI to XIB format for Mac OS X 10.5 and newer versions. Fixes include an issue with tracing multiple chunks in SQLGetData, an issue with tracing on big-endian machines, an issue with using previously freed memory, and other minor bugfixes.

This version includes the iODBC graphical Administrator component for Mac OS X (Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard) released for the first time in open source format. The iODBC CFM Bridge for Mac OS X is included, facilitating connections from Microsoft Office (Excel/Query). Additionally, windows in the GTK-based administrator are now resizeable, and there are other minor bugfixes. There is also a new redesigned Web site for iODBC.

This release contains added support for GTK+ 2.x
in the graphical Administrator. A long mutex lock
on connect, problems with SQLBrowseConnect,
missing functions in the export list, a core dump
when checking for driver ODBC version, an
allocation error in SQLDescribeCol, the RPM
specification for Red Hat, the use of
SQLFetchScroll in iodbctest, and porting problems
on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and OSF were fixed.

This version adds two major new features. With
File DSNs, you can store connection parameters in
separate files per DSN (under
/etc/ODBCDataSources/ by default).
Connection-Pooling allows you to keep a pool of
ODBC connections active for quicker
(re)connection. Additionally there are several
small bugfixes, including SQLSetStmtAttr(), a
check for /Library/ODBC/ and other build issues on
Mac OS X, and use of localtime_r in tracing where
available.

This stable release adds support for Universal
Binary executables on Mac OS X. Small bugfixes
were made. Internal state was not reset correctly
after failures on subsequent calls to
SQLExecute(), causing some function-sequence
errors. Minor fixes were made for Mac OS X, HPUX,
AIX, and 64-bit GUI builds. Additionally, the
license terms have been clarified.
