Changes for version 2.01
- New Features:
- CTlib DateTime, Money and Numeric data handling is now done either in native mode (ie the data is converted to char strings or floating precision only when needed which is sometimes slow) or in 'convert' mode (all data is retrieved in string or floating point format). The default is to retrieve data in 'convert' mode. See the 'Attributes' sub-section in the CTlib section of the manual (pod/sybperl.pod)
- Bug Fixes
- BugId Description
- 140 CTlib uses excessive amounts of memory.
- The Makefile.PLs have been updated so that they work both with 5.001m (the version I recommend for production use at this point) and 5.002 beta.
- 2.0b Updated to work with Perl 5.002 beta. This version *requires* Perl 5.002beta1f, and MakeMaker.pm 5.14.
- Bug fixes:
- BugId Description
- 132 Bizarre copy of CODE in subroutine entry at t/dblib.t line 93. 138 Problems installing sybperl after upgrading to 5.002 beta 1f.
- In addition, the 'undef' bug that I uncovered in sybperl 2b3 has been fixed, so the -DUNDEF_BUG is not necessary anymore.
- The MakeMaker utility has progressed, making the existence of the infamous empty Sybase.xs file unnecessary.
- 2.0a Bug fixes:
- BugId Description
- 130 CTlib/t/ctlib.t test fails on AIX 136 CTlib fails test on an Onyx running Irix 137 dbnextrow core dumps when retrieve row with binary length > 140 135 Behaviour change of DBlib::sql not documented in README 133 MakeMaker 5.03 doesn't work with Sybperl.
- Additional functionality:
- DBlib::DBDEAD and DBlib::remove_xact have been added (thanks to Joel Truher).
