Changes for version 2005.01

  • 2005-03-14: Upload to PAUSE and CPAN. 2005-03-14: Final cleanups before release. 2004-12-01: Revert to SQL DESCRIPTORS. Cleanup version detection. 2004-11-24: Conversion to MSD/NMD distribution mechanism. 2004-10-21: Pre-emptive fix for version detection problems in ClientSDK 2.90 (which will have ESQL/C 2.90, instead of 9.x). 2004-09-13: Fix problem in dbdimp.ec v100.36.1.x related to formatting SQLFLOAT and SQLSMFLOAT; bug reported by Will Rutherford <will.rutherford@sciatl.com> 2004-08-04: Perl 5.5.x requires prototypes - Makefile.PL should not fuss about setting __STDC__ etc on any platforms. Fixes problem reported by Václav Ovsík <vaclav.ovsik@i.cz>. 2004-04-01: Enable hold cursors test (t/t33holdcurs.t). Update documentation. 2004-01-16: Import updated sqltoken.c which handles C-style comments, just like the servers do. 2003-10-17: Fix version detection problem with ESQL/C on RedHat 9, reported by Jay Hannah <jhannah@omnihotels.com>. Fix problems with dates in t/t09exec.t - I don't know whom to credit for this (let me know if it was you). 2003-09-30: Add t/t98pod.t, but do not distribute as it requires Test::Pod, which is far from being universally installed. 2003-09-09: Detect and object when a $dbh is used by a child process. (Response to an old bug report, but name/email missing.) 2003-09-08: Upgrade esqlld to do substitutions on arguments via DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLLD_REPLACE_OPTIONS_REGEX, and to delete multiple arguments at a time (-z ignore, for Solaris 8, for example) via DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLLD_REMOVE_OPTION_PAIRS. The result is baroque in its complexity, and yet probably still not adequate (if you need to do two distinct substitutions, for example: -xarch=v9 to -m64 and -KPIC to -fPIC). 2003-07-15: Merge the partial fix for INT8/SERIAL8 values sent to Steve Vornbrock <stevev@wamnet.com> on 2003-07-01 and the fix for the DECIMAL/INTEGER conversion problem sent to Darryl Priest <darryl.priest@piperrudnick.com> into both the 100.36.1.2 and 2003.6 versions of dbdimp.ec. 2003-05-02: DBD::Informix::TechSupport needs Configure, not Configuration. 2003-05-02: Jay Hannah <jhanna@omnihotels.com> noted problems when $INFORMIXSERVER is not set, so ensure it is set when needed. Jay also noted that Configure.pm is confused by the warning from RedHat 9 about "Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno, h_errno or _res directly. Needs to be fixed." 2003-04-25: Fix problems with non-default DBDATE value in server and no value for DBDATE in client (reported by Margit Schubert-While). Use new get_date_as_string() function in TestHarness.pm which returns the server-side and client-side strings representing the given date. Never was a problem if the client sets DBDATE. 2003-04-18: Improve t92rows.t so it works even if t91udts.t fails, spotted by Margit Schubert-While <margitsw@t-online.de>. Also improved README file after comments from Margit. 2003-03-11: Improve TestHarness.pm; cleanup_database now does a name-based search on data types, private synonyms, and stored procedures. 2003-03-10: Fix up TechSupport.pm; implement 'id' command and 'egrep' on $INFORMIXSQLHOSTS in Perl, not shell, to improve reliability. Also fix code to use connect_to_primary() instead of obsolete connect_quietly() - Andy Bach <andy_bach@wiwb.uscourts.gov>. 2003-03-06: Problem with data_sources reported by Boban Acimovic again, and by Jonathan I Kamens <jonathank@worldwinner.com> and Stefan Meyer <st-meyer@foni.net> (http://rt.cpan.org/ bug #2183). The problem is on Linux with both Perl 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, using vendor supplied versions of Perl.
