1997-05-26: Add support for DBI->DataSources from DBI v0.82.  Update required
            software accordingly.
1997-05-23: Fix Makefile.PL to recognize $INFORMIXDIR/bin at end of PATH,
            thanks to Paul Kulchenko <paul@mega.donetsk.ua>.
1997-05-20: Change the handling of deprecated attributes per Informix.pm.
            Fix esqltest.ec when the same MODE ANSI database is used for both
            connections (thanks to Kent S Gordon <kgor@inetspace.com> for
            reporting this).

0.55 Bug-Fix Release
--------------------
1997-05-20: ESQL/C Version 5.0x testing previously inadequate, and SQLSTATE
            does not exist in 5.0x, sothe compilation fails.  Also fixed the
            core dumps from t/nulls01.t and t/nulls02.t (nasty workaround)
            and the failure message in t/dbase.t.  Tested with 5.06.UC1,
            6.00.UE1, 7.22.UC2 and 9.10.UC2 on Sun Sparc 20 running Solaris
            2.5.1, using 2 Perl configurations: Perl 5.003 with GCC 2.7.2.2
            and Perl 5.004 with SUNWspro C Compiler SC3.0.1 -- all OK.
            Version 0.55 released.
1997-05-19: Change the handling of deprecated attributes per Informix.pm.

0.54 Release
------------
1997-05-16: Another major rework on Informix.Licence to make the requirements
            clearer to people with minimal exposure to Informix, after Honza
            Pazdziora <adelton@fi.muni.cz> had some problems with it.  Add
            notes from Anibal Jodorcovsky <anibal@nortel.ca> about
            compilation on Motorola M88K SVR4 machines in README.M88K.SVR4.
            Version 0.54 released.
1997-05-15: ChopBlanks code added and tested.  VARCHAR was bad!  Statement
            level ChopBlanks attribute not tested (probably not operational;
            attribute probably remains as it was when the statement was
            prepared).
1997-05-13: Finish adding driver fetch function, and consequential changes.
            SQLSTATE now available via DBI::state!
1997-05-05: Revise ixblob.ec to use ixblob.h and transfer to general library.
            Eliminate BLOB_DUMMY_VALUE and BLOB_NULL_VALUE (can't think what
            they were to be used for!).  Consequential changes.
1997-04-24: Add fix in Makefile.PL for DEC OSF/1 and ESQL/C 7.22 from Andrew
            Hunt <andy@toolshed.com>.  Reverse order of updates in ChangeLog.
            DEC OSF/1 changes also reported later by Debbie Ingram
            <djingram@mindspring.com>.
1997-04-08: Add attribute $sth->{ix_Fetchable} to determine whether the
            statement needs data fetching or not.  Add this to sqlcmd.sh, which
            enables basic simulation of the full SQLCMD program.  Still need
            better Getopt module which allows for multiple occurrences of a
            single option on the command line (eg: multiple -e or -f options).
            Also need better handling of filenames versus commands in the rest
            of the arguments.  Note that the build process does not (yet) do
            anything with the source code of sqlcmd.sh.
1997-04-01: Add '-Ae' for HP-UX unless $Config{ccflags} includes -Aa or -Ae,
            per information from Oyvind Gjerstad <ogj@tglobe1.tollpost.no>.
            Include $Config{ccflags} in the command line when building the
            ESQL/C test program.
1997-03-28: Correct the handling of $dbase2 in multiple connections tests when
            DBD_INFORMIX_DATABASE2 is not set.  Fix required after John C
            Hossfeld <john@netpub.com> had problems.  Also report which database
            is being connected to!  Problem (and solution) also subsequently
            reported by James F Miner <jfm@winternet.com>.
1997-03-26: Add ODBC type handling.
1997-03-20: Update Makefile.PL to handle relocated DBIXS.h header, again.
1997-03-18: Change the handling of deprecated attributes per Informix.PM.

0.53 Release
------------
1997-03-06: Change the handling of deprecated attributes per Informix.PM.
            Update the README file to spell out the pre-requisites better.
            Update Makefile.PL with 0.53a1 version number, and so that it
            insists that $INFORMIXDIR is set, and that $INFORMIXDIR/bin is in
            $PATH.  Update tests to use the non-deprecated attributes.  Add the
            test program esqltest.ec to check that the ESQL/C environment is OK
            before creating the Makefile.
1997-03-10: No changes over the weekend - the skiing at Squaw was fabulous!
            Update the POD to encourage the use of DBI->connect() in preference
            to $drh = DBI->install_driver().  Add two new, but fore-shadowed,
            driver attributes, ix_CurrentConnection and ix_ActiveConnections,
            though they're currently only set when the driver is loaded.
1997-03-17: Update Informix.Licence to contain more comprehensive information
            on licencing and Netscape's LiveWire Pro.  Update t/updcursor.t so
            it passes on a logged (non-MODE ANSI) database.  Fix the problem
            with nulls found by Oyvind Gjerstad <ogj@tglobe1.tollpost.no> and
            now immortalized in the test case t/nulls02.t.  Change version to
            0.53 and release.

0.52 Release
------------
1997-03-05: Add ESQL/C => DBD::Informix statement mapping to POD in Informix.PM,
            after suggestion by Bill Mitlyng <Bill.Mitlyng@abnamro.com>.
1997-03-03: Use $DBI::VERSION to determine where DBIXS.h should be found.
1997-03-02: Split attribute handling code from dbdimp.ec into dbdattr.ec.
            Add dbd_ix_module() function.  Revise the interface to the functions
            dbd_st_{FETCH|STORE} to match dbd_db_{FETCH|STORE} (they now take a
            pointer to imp_sth_t argument instead of a pointer to SV).
1997-02-28: Add the Informix.Licence file to explain the licencing issues for
            Informix-ESQL/C.  Update the README file.  Fix the caching of
            attributes.  Add 'deprecated' warning to the system, and a way of
            turning the deprecated warnings off.  Use this method in
            InformixTest.pm.  Add the attribute handling of ix_XyZ as well as
            deprecating the corresponding XyZ attribute.  Fix the handling of
            SQLCA so that the inserted serial number is available, etc.  Version
            bumped to 0.52.

0.51 Release
------------
1997-02-26: Add $sth->{CursorName} and $dbh->{ConnectionName}.  Add test
            updcursor.t to check that you can do 'UPDATE ... WHERE CURRENT OF'.
            Add ".DEFAULT." as an explicit way of making the default connection.
            Release version 0.51, and a patch, version 0.51p1.
1997-02-25: Version bumped to 0.51.  Nulls on SELECT handled correctly.  Test
            nulls01.t added.  Notes on access to the SQLCA record added to the
            POD in Informix.PM, after this omission was noted by Torsten Stein
            <stein@cls.de>.
1997-01-23: Fix InformixTest.pm so it works with perldoc.  It seems that perldoc
            does not like lines which start with a single quote.  Thanks to
            Jason Bodnar <jcbodnar@mail.utexas.edu> for pointing this problem
            out. Add and use stmt_err to report errors or warnings, and document
            it.

0.50 Release
------------
1997-02-13: Version 0.50 released.  Handle null database names on connect so
