[David M. <dav...@fi...>]

Hello Everyone,

I just made releases of SQL Relay 0.39 and Rudiments 0.31.

This release mainly improves stability under heavy load, but there are
several new features as well.  Here's the changelog:

* removed oracle7 support
* added OCI_OBJECT to oracle environment init
* added some more error codes to oracle's dead connection test
* connections don't decrement connection count when they fail to log in
	now :)
* added -silent option to connections that scaler uses so they don't
	spew login errors if the db is down
* fixed a bug that disabled scaling if maxlisteners
	was -1 (the default, which means no maximum)
* freetds, db2 connection don't detach before logging in any more
* added reloginatstart config parameter
* fixed sendLob for oracle<8i
* applied Johnny Luong's postgresql drop-in lib patch
* applied Jason McClellen's perl dbi raise-error patch
* sybase/freetds use CS_SEVERITY instead of msgp->severity now
* added 64 bit sybase tests
* postgresql only uses PQexecPrepared if PQprepare also exists
* set LANG=POSIX before running ruby/make so sed's would work on non-us
	locales
* documented how to use mysql stored procedure output parameters
* applied ja...@th...'s perl null bind patch
* applied Tim Bunce's perl dbi driver patch
* suppress error message of cat $ORACLE_HOME/lib/sysliblist in configure
	script

	connection
* added support for stored procedures which return result sets to 
	freetds connection but it doesn't actually return anything
* documented how to use sybase stored procedure result sets
* fixed a bug that caused zope to get an exception when result sets are
	empty
* configure looks for instantclient if it can't find anything in
	ORACLE_HOME, added --with-oracle-instantclient-prefix option
* added sybase ASE 15 install doc
* fixed a bug that caused the router connection to return a max of
	10 rows
* applied Chris Coyle's mysql auto-reconnect patch
* modified countBindVariables to exclude :'s and @'s
	if it finds $'s or ?'s
* applied some of Tim Bunce's DBI patches
* added pid cleanup to init script similar to patch supplied by
	Ragnar Rova

	variable is in the query or not
* fixed Yeb Havinga's db-tier authentication bug

* mysql connection calls commit() before running the first query after
	each new client connection
* fixed a crash in the router involving "fake begin's"
* documented msql transaction weirdness and db2 relogin issues
* added /opt/csw to configure script search path
* improved filtering out of -x arguments in perl/ruby make commands
