The 3.2 release did not make it out of the gate on-time, and there is still a little more work before it is ready.

This release addresses issues with the JDBC and ADO.NET database drivers, and we know how many of you have been waiting for this update.

Here are some more specific details on the fixes and features in each driver:
ADO.NET and JDBC: Both drivers did not do well when relaying error information. The database engine is setup to provide as much detail in (SQL) errors as possible, but how that error detail was passed through the drivers didn't result in any usable information for the user in most cases.
JDBC: Reduced code which used table metadata and calculated query return types.
ADO.NET: Fixed handling of DESCRIBE DATABASE and DESCRIBE TABLE which would cause no visible records. Implemented the Fill methods on DataAdaptor, Fill(DataTable) and Fill(DataSet).

These drivers are created from the specifications provided by the various techincal overlords. But some of those specifications are either light on details or have omitted some important information, which means our tests don't know the driver is not working correctly.

Please be patient as we work to make this release and the database drivers as bug-free as possible.
