    statement you get an error but it does not tell what is wrong.

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  * Added support for StrictlyTyped and DiscardString to the bind_col
    method.

  [OTHER]

  * Minor changes to META.yml for mailing list, dynamic_config,
    homepage and keywords.

  * The pod was missing = before the heads on a couple of sections in
    "Private DBD::ODBC Functions"

  * TreatAsLob was incorrectly documented as BindAsLob.

1.30_3 2011-05-17

  [BUG FIXES]

  * Made the new odbc_describe_parameters work and added test case.

1.30_2 2011-05-16

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  * Added the new odbc_describe_parameters attribute.

1.30_1 2011-05-12

  [BUG FIXES]

  * Fixed some compiler warnings shown with -Wall including some
    printf formats that had extra/missing arguments.

  * Fixed t/70execute_array.t which was missing an "order by" in the
    check_data sub which could cause failures for drivers not
    returning the rows in the order they were inserted.

  * Minor fix to Makefile.PL to avoid issuing variable used in void
    context.

  [CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR]

  * DBD::ODBC used to quietly rollback any transactions when
    disconnect was called and AutoCommit was off. This can mask a
    problem and leads to different behaviour when disconnect is called
    vs not calling disconnect (where you get a warning). This release
    issues a warning if you call disconnect and a transaction is in
    progress then it is rolled back.

  * DBD::ODBC used to bind char/varchar/longvarchar columns as SQL_CHAR
    meaning that in the unicode build of DBD::ODBC the bound column
    data would be returned 8bit in whatever character-set (codepage) the
    data was in, in the database. This was inconvenient and arguably a
    mistake. Columns like nchar/nvarchar etc were bound as SQL_WCHAR and
    returned as Unicode. This release changes the behaviour in a unicode
    build of DBD::ODBC to bind all char columns as SQL_WCHAR. This may
    inconvenience a few people who expected 8bit chars back, knew the
    char set and decoded them (sorry). See odbc_old_unicode to return
    to old behaviour.

  [ENHANCEMENTS]

  * added -w option to Makefile.PL to add "-Wall" to CCFLAGS and
    -fno-strict-aliasing so I can find warnings.

  * Cope with broken ODBC drivers that describe a parameter as SQL
    type 0.

  [OTHER]

  * Add "disconnect and transactions" to pod describing what DBD::ODBC
    does if you call disconnect with an outstanding transaction.

  * Reorganised FAQ for bound parameter issues and added a lot on
    bound parameter problems.

  * Added new FAQ entry for Firebird

  * Removed some unused variables and added some missing function
    prototypes

1.29 2011-03-08

  * An official release of the 1.28 development releases.

  [NOTE]

  * The 1.28 development releases made a change which causes a generic
    error to be reported when an ODBC call fails but an error message
    is not retrieved from the ODBC Driver. It appears this has caught
    out a few ODBC drivers - notably freeTDS and Firebird. You now may
    see errors that were missed before e.g., DBIx::Class's tests for
    Firebird now errors test 21 "outer txn rolled back" (and others)
    because SQLRowCount returns an error after "ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT
    savepoint_0"; before this error was missed.

1.28_5 2011-03-06

  [BUG FIXES]

  * rt_59621.t had wrong skip count

  * Fixed missing SQL_MAX_TABLE_NAME_LEN definition from test.

  * Fixed problem with some drivers which batch "insert;select" where
    SQLMoreResults is not required and an extra describe is done.

  * Fixed "select 1" in 02simple.t for Firebird ODBC Driver.

  * disconnect call added to 70execute_array.t was in the wrong place.

  * In non-unicode mode we bind strings as SQL_CHAR but the driver may
    have described them as SQL_WCHAR and we were not doing ChopBlanks
    processing in that case.

  [REQUIREMENTS]

  * Now needs Test::Simple 0.90.
