Oratcl 5.0 is a major release modernizing the extension for Tcl 9, with Oracle 23c compatibility and several security hardening fixes.
Highlights
- Tcl 9 compatibility: full port including
Tcl_SizeAPI changes, removal of legacyCONST84/_ANSI_ARGS_/pre-8.4 compatibility shims, and ANSI C prototypes throughout - Oracle 23c compatibility: fixed blob LOB read/write, array DML cursor handling, and NLS/version detection for the current Oracle client
- New
oralob2command: directOCILobRead2-based LOB access, bypassing the PL/SQLDBMS_LOBwrapper - Security hardening: fixed a script-injection/buffer-overflow in the TAF failover callback, added an integer-overflow guard on
fetchrows, and scrub passwords from memory before freeing connect strings (also backported tooratcl-4-6-branch) - Unicode: the old
oraconfig unicodeoption is deprecated in favor of Tcl 9's native UTF-8 handling (NLS_LANG=AL32UTF8) - Windows support: verified cross-compilation from Linux/WSL via the free
mingw-w64toolchain — no MSVC required, no Oracle software required at build time - Copyright updated to 2000-2026
See CHANGELOG.md (github.com) for the full history.
