Changes for version 0.61_01

  • 98-12-07; Released internally at Informix. 98-11-25: Fix the code to detect NT (Win32) using suggestion from Andy Williams <andy_williams@pa.press.net>. Ken Scott <kscott@pcisys.net> first identified the problem and sent in an alternative fix using an exact match rather than a regular expression. 98-11-23: The code did not get uploaded to CPAN. Proving tests show that there were problems, especially bad frees on blob testing when run with 'make test', but not when run with the test.one script. Added t/t99clean.t to remove most of the debris from the test database, and add warning to README emphasizing this. Need to split dbdimp.ec into components (eg dbdimpdr.ec, dbdimpdb.ec, dbdimpst.ec) and amend dbdimp.h to declare newly visible functions because it's over 2000 lines, it's too damn big, and it's going to grow some more before IUS support is really complete. Drop version numbers from MANIFEST, and tools to maintain them. 98-11-17: Add code from Honza Pazdziora <adelton@fi.muni.cz> which records the value of INFORMIXDIR and INFORMIXSERVER used at build time to set the defaults at run-time. Set version 0.61_01 (experimental). 98-11-09: Add DBD_INFORMIX_ESQLC_LINKAGE environment variable after report by Duc H Nguyen <dhn@benvolio.nova.att.com> who states that ESQL/C 7.24.UC[56] (probably on HP-UX 10.20) links with static libraries by default. He provided a workaround hacking esql. Robert Cowham <CowhamR@logica.com> ran into this problem. 98-11-04: Revise assert handling so that assertions are off by default. Code now ignores DBD_INFORMIX_DISABLE_ASSERT and only responds to DBD_INFORMIX_ENABLE_ASSERT instead. 98-11-03: Remove test for __STDC__ in esqltest.ec -- it causes unwarranted problems on, for example, AIX and NT and gives minimal benefit on any system, especially since Perl 5.005 has to be compiled by an ANSI C compiler (prototype aware compiler). Reported by both David Edge <dedge@ak.blm.gov> and Geoffrey Rommel <grommel@sears.com>. 98-11-02: Add bundles for DBI and DBD::Informix to simplify the builds. 98-10-29: Merge in threading patch from Jan Iven <j.iven@rz.uni-sb.de>. 98-10-28: Commence work on IUS compatability. Abolish DBD_INFORMIX_SERVER; DBD_INFORMIX_DATABASE should contain required server information in the appropriate format. Add variables DBD_INFORMIX_USERNAME2 and DBD_INFORMIX_PASSWORD2. Fix multi-connection tests so that they use the username and password information (problem found by both Ben Laurie <ben@algroup.co.uk> and Geoffrey Rommel <grommel@sears.com>). Add and use DBD_IX_BOOLEAN macro to fix problems with MSVC on NT found by Manish Dharwadker <manishd@informix.com>. 98-10-27: Add examples subdirectory, and initial examples. 98-09-25: Fix esqlc.h for 7.1x ESQL/C so it explicitly includes value.h, thanks to David Edge <dedge@ak.blm.gov>. 98-09-04: Fix misuse of $user for $pass in t/t00basic.t, thanks to Kevin White <kwhite@redroof.com>. 98-08-13: Version numbering changes.
