Changes for version 0.57
- 97-10-19: Handle the 'esql -libs' process rather differently, because of the bug in older versions of the esql script which do not echo the name of the netstub library when necessary (a problem found by Rodger Anderson <rodger@hpbs2245.boi.hp.com> in July, but only now resolved). Record information about compiling with c4gl only in Informix.Licence, after answering questions from Paul Falbe <paul@cassens.com>. 97-10-08: Change the name of the sqlca element of imp_dbh to ix_sqlca to avoid the macro renaming used in threaded versions of ESQL/C such as on Windows 95 and Windows NT. This change and success with a Windows 95 and Windows NT port reported by Harald Ums <Harald.Ums@sevensys.de>. Also a change to esqlc.h, triggered by the need to use sqlproto.h, and use io.h in place of unistd.h in ixblob.ec, and do not release 'unreleased' blobs... Makefile.PL still to be upgraded. 97-10-08: Record Informix ESQL/C's ability to change the environment without Perl knowing about it, after the problem found by Jay Ludoviconi <jludovic@paging.mot.com> was tracked down. 97-10-03: Add Working.Versions file after a suggestion by Nuno Carneiro de Moura <ncmoura@net.mailcom.pt> 97-08-13: Add file hints/static.build with info about building statically linked Perl executables from Kent S Gordon <kgor@inetspace.com>. Clean up function entry and exit reporting. 97-08-01: Add _tables and _columns metadata methods. 97-07-29: Update to use the templates from DBI v0.89, etc. Amend README after Kent S Gordon <kgor@inetspace.com> noted that the engine version information could be useful. 97-07-21: Add dbd_ix_preparse() (based on code in DBD::ODBC 0.15) to pre-process an SQL statement, replacing Oracle-style :x notation with question mark place holders. This allows DBD::Informix to support $sth->{NUM_PARAMS} properly, and reinstates functionality present in DBD::Informix 0.24 but summarily removed in version 0.25. Interestingly, of course, noone has complained, or even commented on this. 97-07-16: Kenji Hino <kenji@alcatraz.net> found that the test t/blob02.t failed for logged OnLine databases because of the changed AutoCommit handling; alter the criterion for doing $dbh->commit. Jason Bodnar <jcbodnar@mail.utexas.edu> found that the documentation for $dbh->do() was faulty; add the undef parameter for the unused \%attr documented by DBI. 97-07-14: Deal with the last of the deprecated attributes. Work around the oddities (changes) introduced by ESQL/C 9.12.
