Changes for version 0.58
- 98-01-15: Finish up NT build work, and release in time for the Win32 Perl Resource Book deadline (phew) and also just before switching jobs from Informix to Visa. Fix Makefile.PL and README file to make warnings about using ld to create shared libraries with gcc more stringent. Kevin White <kwhite@redroof.com> and Michael Chandler <mpchandler@fedex.com> both had major problems on HP-UX 10.20 with this, and the problems were not fully resolved at release time. One issue was that the notation 'ENVVAR=value command' did not seem to be setting the environment variable, but Makefile.PL assumes this will work. Maybe it should use Perl's %ENV instead. 98-01-14: More work on NT builds with help from Ken Scott <ken@apisys.net> and Patrick-James Dionisio <dionisio@netscape.com>. 98-01-13: Use warn instead of die to report lower than ideal DBI version in Makefile.PL. Also make corrections for NT builds based on feedback from Ken Scott <kscott@pcisys.net>. 98-01-12: Fix dbd_ix_preparse() so it does not convert :alpha into ? after Chuck Collins <Chuck.Collins@AirTouch.COM> pointed out that SELECT * FROM sysmaster:systabnames gives a syntax error in 0.57. 98-01-07: Initial attempt at integrating Makefile.NT into Makefile.PL. 98-01-06: Modify Makefile.PL to give a reason for failure when stating that you did not read the README file after Michael Chandler <mpchandler@fedex.com> ran into problems identifying the source of such a failure. 98-01-05: Update copyright dates. Change email address for maintainer. 97-12-03: Simplify the version testing to ignore the lists of libraries. The test compilation ensures that everything is OK, or not. Also, simply use the local copy of odbctype.h, without checking whether any ODBC is available or not. 97-11-18: Steven Hronek <hronek@lsil.com> asked whether ESQL/C was still necessary. Ensure that README is absolutely clear that it is, and mention DBD::ODBC as a possible alternative.
