Changes for version 0.60
- 98-08-10: Release to Albert W Dorrington <awdorrin@ictest.delcoelect.com> as 0.60b1 to give him HP-UX and GCC fixes. Partially rework the t00basic.t test to fix the problems accessing databases which require a username and password. 98-08-06: Fix problem with error -608 originally reported by Kenji Hino <kenji@alcatraz.net>, related to handling a null blobs. Maybe this fix also fixed the -451 errors reported by both John Keston <jkeston@wamnet.com> and Brian Renaud <renaud@ans.net>; the change could plausibly resolve that error too, but none of us was able to reproduce the -451 error on demand, so we don't know for sure. 98-08-05: Integrate changes by R Bernstein <rocky@panix3.panix.com> which give support for IUS datatype BOOLEAN. This has not been fully tested on an IUS (IDS/UDO) engine, and may not handle nulls correctly. It is not complete IUS support by any stretch of the imagination. Add some new material to the hints directory, even though they are not hints about compiling DBD::Informix. 98-07-30: Revise the data_sources method to include the 'dbi:Informix:' prefix mandated by the DBI specification. 98-07-29: Finish renaming the tests. Use MSD/NMD technology to create directory from which distribution is made -- to ensure that correct versions of all library files which are not mastered under the DBD/Informix directory are fully up to date. Drop sqlcmd.sh as it is (a) unused and (b) superseded by DBI::Shell. Add two new attributes, $sth->{ix_StatementText} and $dbh->{ix_DatabaseName}. Note that $dbh->{Name} returns the name of the database when DBI->connect() is called, but the name of the current database can be changed by things such as CLOSE DATABASE and DATABASE or CREATE DATABASE statements; $dbh->{ix_DatabaseName} reports the current database name. When last row is fetched, implicitly close (finish) the cursor, as requested by Tim Bunce. Explicit finish is only required if the loop is terminated early. 98-06-25: Include notes from Yang-Chao lin <ylin@sr.hp.com> about compiling on HP-UX with ESQL/C 5.x or 6.x. Also upgrade the comments about IUS types for those who do not know anything other than IUS, such as Stephen Pillinger <S.M.Pillinger@cs.bham.ac.uk> who first alerted me to this problem. 98-06-16: Include notes from Alex Shah <ashah@atg.eb.com> on __eprintf(). 98-06-15: Incorporate __eprintf() fix from Bernd Gill <bernd@dsi.co.nz>. Include the HP-UX 10.20 build notes from Reed White <REED_WHITE@HP-Corvallis-om1.om.hp.com>. Improve esqltest.ec. Add new environment variables DBD_INFORMIX_USE_EPRINTF_CODE and DBD_INFORMIX_DISABLE_ASSERT to Makefile.PL. 98-05-19: Change test to fail after trying to drop table dbd_ix_blobtest in t/blob02.t when table exists but cannot be dropped by user. Problem found by Nuno Carneiro de Moura <ncmoura@net.mailcom.pt>. 98-03-11: Version numbering changes.
