strings and added a parse exception in case of trying
to escape octal values in range 400-777 (issue 50)

Bug Fixes since Qore 0.8.12.4:
* module fixes:
-FixedLengthUtil: fixes and improvements to errors and
exceptions (issue 1828)
-HttpServerUtil: eliminated excess logging of all HTTP
chunks sent and received (issue 1832)
-PgsqlSqlUtil: fixed a bug in setting a comment for a
table column (issue 1886)
-SqlUtil: fixed a bug in the offset query hash argument
in SQL operation methods (issue 1880), fixed a bug
that prohibited only columns from the main query to be
selected when joins are used (issue 1909)
-TableMapper: fixed a bug in flush messages in the
InboundTableMapper class (issue 1849)
* fixed a bug that could cause spurious parse-time exceptions
to be thrown when matching call variants with multiple
return types for the same callable object (issue 1928)
* fixed the process return code in the output reference in
backquote() on Unix/Linux platforms (issue 1884)
* fixed a bug where connections were not immediately released
back to the DatasourcePool in case of an SQLSTATEMENT-ERROR
exception (issue 1836)
* eliminated a spurious exception in the SQLStatement class in
case of a DatasourcePool timeout (issue 1832)
* fixed a crash when the incorrect type was passed to a
parameter declared *reference (issue 1815)

in handling module dependencies with injected modules
(issue 1805)

null pointers (issue 1791)
* added internal API support to make it easier for DBI drivers
to handle lost connections and to allow DBI drivers that must
close all open handles before a connection is closed
(such as the oracle driver); due to this change, SQLStatement
objects based on a DatasourcePool are closed automatically
whenever the datasource is returned to the pool (issue 1250)
* implemented new parse options to revert the effect of parse
options that affect code safety (issue 1895):
-%correct-list-parsing
-%correct-logic-precedence

character semantics as documented (issue 1574)
* OracleSqlUtil module fixes:
-fixed a bug in character_semantics for standalone column
(issue 1688)

in Qore 0.8.12.7 with the fix for issue 1626)
* SqlUtil module fixes:
-fixed schema alignment skipping column with name "driver"
(issue 1684)

the connection during a send operation could cause the
current thread to go into an infinite loop consuming
100% CPU (issue 1729)

with a mix of lists and single values such as used by bulk
DML binds; now the single values will appear as the current
value for all list elements as per the original design
instead of throwing a runtime exception (issue 1738)
* fixed bug in internal string generation with size_t arguments
that could cause invalid data to be output or crashes on
32-bit platforms (issue 1640)
* fixed a runtime memory leak and invalid runtime behavior with
undetected recursive lvalue references (issue 1617)
* improved prompt collection performance with large graphs of
objects by eliminating additional unnecessary graph scans,
resulting in further large performance improvements in the
garbage collector (issue 1363)

(in the TableMapper module) when used with data in hash of
lists format to use bulk DML in input and output without

* fixed a bug in the BulkInsertOperation class in the
BulkSqlUtil module where inserts would fail or silently
insert invalid data in the second or later blocks when
constant hashes were used (issue 1625)

(issue 1437)

memory and CPU time for certain input. Provide a variable
(CLANG_NO_VALUE_PROPAGATION_PASS) for selectively disabling it in those
places known to trigger it.
Qore is a modular, multi-threaded, SQL-integrated dynamically typed
scripting language with optional hard typing and procedural and
object-oriented features, powerful and easy-to-use data types,
