  Fixed issue with TRACESTATUS change in 20SqlServer.t tests 28, 31, 32
  and 33 leading to those tests failing when testing with SQL Server 2005
  or Express.

  Many compiler warnings fixed - especially for incompatible types.

  Add provisional Unicode support - thanks to Alexander Foken. This change
  is very experimental (especially on UNIX). Please see ODBC.pm
  documentation. Also see README.unicode and README.af. New database
  attribute odbc_has_unicode to test if DBD::ODBC was built with UNICODE
  support. New tests for Unicode. New requirement for Perl 5.8.1 if
  Unicode support required. New -[no]u argument to Makefile.PL. New
  warning in Makefile.PL if Unicode support built for UNIX.

  Fix use of unitialised var in Makefile.PL.

  Fix use of scalar with no effect on Makefile.PL

  Added warning to Makefile.PL about building/running with LANG using
  UTF8.

  Added warning to Makefile.PL about using thread-safe ODBC drivers.

  Updated MANIFEST to include more test code from mytest and remove
  MANIFEST.SKIP etc.

  Removed calls to get ODBC errors when SQLMoreResults returns
  SQL_NO_DATA.  These are a waste of time since SQL_NO_DATA is expected
  and there is no error diagnostic to retrieve.

  Changes to test 17 of 02simple.t which got "not ok 17 - Col count
  matches correct col count" errors with some Postgres ODBC
  drivers. Caused by test expecting column names to come back
  uppercase. Fixes by uppercasing returned column names.

  Changes to tests in 03batt.t which correctly expects an ODBC 3 driver to
  return the column names in SQLTables result-set as per ODBC 3.0
  spec. Postgres which reports itself as an ODBC 3.0 driver seems to
  return the ODBC 2 defined column names. Changed tests to catch ODBC 2.0
  names are pass test put issue warning.

  For postgres skip test (with warning) checking $sth->{NAME} returns
  empty listafter execute on update

  Updated FAQ, added a few more questions etc.

  DBD::ODBC requires at least 5.6.0 of Perl.

  Many updates to pod documentation.

  Removed some dead HTTP links in the pod I could not find equivalents for
  - let me know if you have working replacements for ones removed

  Add some HTTP links to useful tutorials on DBD::ODBC

1.13 2004-11-08

  Fix inconsistency/bug with odbc_exec_direct vs. odbc_execdirect
  settings.  Now made consistent with odbc_exec_direct.  For now, will
  still look for odbc_execdirect in prepare, but not as DBH attribute as a
  backup (which is what it was doing), but that support will be dropped at
  some time in the future.  Please use odbc_exec_direct from now on...

  Fix handling of print statements for SQL Server thanks to Martin Evans!
  Thanks for all your work on this!

  Due to bug in SQL Server, you must use odbc_exec_direct.  See
  t/20SqlServer.t for example.  You will need to call
  $sth->{odbc_more_results} to clear out any trailing messages.

  Change tests to use Test::More.  Whew, that's much nicer!

  Fix Oracle integral/numeric output params so that warning not printed
  about value not being numeric (even though it is!)

1.12 2004-10-26

  Fix bug with odbc_execdirect attributed thanks to Martin Evans

  Fix bug(s) with odbc_query_timeout and tested with SQL*Server.  Oracle
  tests failed with setting timeout.  Probably not handled by Oracle's
  ODBC driver

1.11 2004-10-11

  Added odbc_timeout, but untested

1.10 2004-09-08

  Fixed bug in Makefile.PL.

  Added pod.t test, taken from DBI.

  Fixed various small POD issues, discovered during the pod test.

  Fixed bug in bind_param_inout

1.09 2004-03-10

  Duh.  I forgot to add new dbivport.h to MANIFEST and SVN before
  submitting.  Fixed.

1.08 2004-03-06

  Added check in Makefile.PL to detect if the environment variable LANG is
  Set.  If so, prints a warning about potential makefile generation
  issues.

  Change to use dbivport.h per new DBI spec.

  Add ability to set the cursor type during the connect.  This may allow
  some servers which do not support multiple concurrent statements to
  permit them -- tested with SQL Server.  Thanks to Martin Busik!  See
  odbc_cursortype information in the ODBC POD.

1.07 2004-02-19

  Added to Subversion version control hosted by perl.org.  Thanks Robert!
  See ODBC.pm POD for more information.

  Added contributing section to ODBC.pm POD -- see more details there!

Changes  view on Meta::CPAN

  Added Support for esodbc (per Martin Evans)

  Added Support for Easysoft (per Bob Kline)

  Changed table_info to produce a list of views, too.

  Fixed bug in SQLColumns call.

  Fixed blob handling via patches from Jochen Wiedmann.

  Added data_sources capability via snarfing code from DBD::Adabas (Jochen
  Wiedmann)

0.20 1998-08-14

  SQLColAttributes fixes for SQL Server and MySQL. Fixed tables method by
  renaming to new table_info method. Added new tyoe_info_all method.
  Improved Makefile.PL support for Adabase.

0.19 Unknown

  Added iODBC source code to distribution.Fall-back to using iODBC header
  files in some cases.

0.18 Unknown

  Enhancements to build process. Better handling of errors in error
  handling code.

0.17 Unknown

  This release is mostly due to the good work of Jeff Urlwin.  My eternal
  thanks to you Jeff.

  Fixed "SQLNumResultCols err" on joins and 'order by' with some drivers
  (see Microsoft Knowledge Base article #Q124899).  Thanks to Paul
  O'Fallon for that one.

  Added more (probably incomplete) support for unix ODBC in Makefile.PL

  Increased default SQL_COLUMN_DISPLAY_SIZE and SQL_COLUMN_LENGTH to 2000
  for drivers that don't provide a way to query them dynamically. Was 100!

  When fetch reaches the end-of-data it automatically frees the internal
  ODBC statement handle and marks the DBI statement handle as inactive
  (thus an explicit 'finish' is *not* required).

  Also:

  LongTruncOk for Oracle ODBC (where fbh->datalen < 0)

  Added tracing into SQLBindParameter (help diagnose oracle odbc bug)

  Fixed/worked around bug/result from Latest Oracle ODBC driver where in
  SQLColAttribute cbInfoValue was changed to 0 to indicate fDesc had a value

  Added work around for compiling w/ActiveState PRK (PERL_OBJECT)

  Updated tests to include date insert and type

  Added more "backup" SQL_xxx types for tests

  Updated bind test to test binding select

   NOTE: bind insert fails on Paradox driver (don't know why)

  Added support for: (see notes below)

   SQLGetInfo       via $dbh->func(xxx, GetInfo)
   SQLGetTypeInfo   via $dbh->func(xxx, GetTypeInfo)
   SQLDescribeCol   via $sth->func(colno, DescribeCol)
   SQLColAttributes via $sth->func(xxx, colno, ColAttributes)
   SQLGetFunctions  via $dbh->func(xxx, GetFunctions)
   SQLColumns       via $dbh->func(catalog, schema, table, column, 'columns')

  Fixed $DBI::err to reflect the real ODBC error code which is a 5 char
  code, not necessarily numeric.

  Fixed fetches when LongTruncOk == 1.

  Updated tests to pass more often (hopefully 100% <G>)

  Updated tests to test long reading, inserting and the LongTruncOk attribute.

  Updated tests to be less driver specific.

  They now rely upon SQLGetTypeInfo I<heavily> in order to create the
  tables.  The test use this function to "ask" the driver for the name of
  the SQL type to correctly create long, varchar, etc types.  For example,
  in Oracle the SQL_VARCHAR type is VARCHAR2, while MS Access uses TEXT
  for the SQL Name.  Again, in Oracle the SQL_LONGVARCHAR is LONG, while
  in Access it's MEMO.  The tests currently handle this correctly (at
  least with Access and Oracle, MS SQL server will be tested also).
