[libdbi-devel] 0.8.0 status

[Markus H. <mar...@mh...>]

Hi,

I'd just like to summarize my current state of affairs regarding the upcoming
0.8.0 releases of libdbi and libdbi-drivers.

I think the framework is release-worthy after the changes that I've announced in
previous mails. The mysql, pgsql, sqlite, and sqlite3 drivers were adapted to
the new framework and pass all tests too.

I've tested the code on the following platforms without problems:

FreeBSD 5.4
Debian 3.1
Fedora Core 4 (using gcc4.0)
Windows XP/Cygwin

Badly missing from this picture are OSX or PPC-Linux (to check for big-endian
vs. little-endian issues) and Solaris or 64bit Linux (to check for 64bit
cleanliness). Any help in these areas would be greatly appreciated.

You may have guessed that I'd also like to tighten the thumb screws of the
developers another turn. I'd really, really like to release the code asap. I've
managed to install Firebird on a Debian box. I'm not familiar with this engine
at all, but I could try to help if Christian won't get round to fix the driver
in the next couple of days. I can't do much about the msql and oracle drivers
at this time.

regards,
Markus
