Debian/Ubuntu). Fixes RT#140139. Thanks to Slaven Rezić.
1.33 [2021-11-9]
* Do not link with Firebird framework if it does not exist on macOS.
This should fix issue #51.
1.32 [2020-03-11]
* Add support for COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements #48
1.31 [2017-12-05]
* Re-release with all tests (some were missing in MANIFEST in 1.30)
1.30 [2017-12-05]
* remove artificial hard-coded limit of 1_000_000 bytes when fetching BLOB
data
1.29 [2017-12-02]
* add /usr/local to the list of possible firebird homes [RT#123723]
* blob_type needs to be signed to be assigned/compared to -1
* bpb parameter to isc_open_blob2 is a pointer

status vector for errors. An error there may be from a previous call,
or just plain garbage

active transaction handle, instead of overridding it with a new one, leaving
the previous one "immortal" (because the previous transaction handle is no
longer kept!)

* AutoCommit attribute handling:
- in dbd_login6():
simply turns on imp_dbh->init_commit = 1
- in db_STORE_attrib() :
if init_commit == 1:
if AutoCommit turned On: do nothing.
if AutoCommit turned Off: start a new default transaction, stored in
imp_dbh->tr
if init_commit == 0:
if AutoCommit turned On: commit changes.
if AutoCommit turned Off: start a new default transaction, stored in
imp_dbh->tr
Before returning, init_commit is reset to 0.
