Hi all,
I've packaged the current cvs versions of libdbi and libdbi-drivers:
- a couple of build errors and warnings were fixed
- the dbd_get_encoding() function now also works for MySQL prior to 4.1. I've
tested this on Debian using 4.0.24, which is probably the oldest version in the
default installation of any of the popular end-user OSes. Frankly, I don't know
what happens with 3.23, but if you still use that it's probably about time to
upgrade.
- a new function dbi_conn_get_engine_version() was added. This function
retrieves a numeric representation of the version of the database engine that
serves the current connection. See the manual or the sources for the formula
used to compute the number.
- As mentioned in the previous announcements, I can only test the mysql, pgsql,
sqlite, and sqlite3 drivers. They work on FreeBSD and Debian 3.1 (I'll add more
test platforms shortly). The other drivers may or may not work at this time.
Get the prereleases right here:
http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/downloads/libdbi-0.8.0-pre3.tar.gz
http://libdbi.sourceforge.net/downloads/libdbi-drivers-0.8.0-pre3.tar.gz
Please report build and runtime errors. I'd like to release the new versions as
soon as possible. Christian, are you listening?
regards,
Markus
