Summary of Changes in release 1.0
--------------------------------------------
User visible (not in a particular order):
- Removed "8.0" from protocol version string accepted. Please
update configuration files;
- Default protocol version is now auto. This could slow down
connection but make user experience less painful;
- Sybase encrypted login. Set encryption to get it;
- Support protocol version 7.4;
- Add intent support to specify we don't want to change data;
- Allow to attach database file during the login (MS SQL Server);
- Support for Sybase time/date/bigdate/bigdatetime;
- Pool is working again;
- ODBC BCP (not complete);
- Improved dbconvert and dbconvert_ps (more compatible);
- Fixed dbspid;
- Improved ODBC type information;
- Better certificate verification;
- AppVeyor is used for every build;
- Try all IPs from DNS. This allows SQL Cluster connection
to secondary servers.
Implementation:
- Removed Nmake support;
- Type conversions simplified;
- Better type handle code.
* Full Kerberos and SSPI support for passwordless login to
Microsoft SQL Server from Unix and Windows clients.
Includes Kerberos delegation option.
* Full support for DB-Library under Win32/64 via NMAKE.EXE.
* Built-in support for UTF-8.
* Support for wide characters in ODBC.
* Support for varchar(max) and varbinary(max).
* Better thread-safety in ODBC.
* Distinguish between connect and login errors.
* Bulk-copy functions in CT-Library.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
Pkgsrc changes:
+ Support user-destdir installation.
+ Document the way that pkgsrc handles the freetds documentation.
+ Use GENERATE_PLIST instead of creating a .PLIST.doc.
+ Remove patch-ac and patch-ad due to reports of success compiling
FreeTDS on Mac OS X without changes on the freetds@ mailing list.
Package changes:
- libtds.* has been removed. Its objects are now linked directly
into the other client libraries.
- support TLSv1 sessions to MSSQL servers
- fixed timeout handling
- added protocol version discovery
- reduced network bandwidth use on Linux and -BSD
- fixed conversion NUMERIC->NUMERIC changing precision/scale
- added named instance support (mssql2k)
- many other code improvements and bug fixes
- improved pool server
- ODBC:
- cursors (mssql)
- fixed database setting
- fixed SQLGetData result
- fixed compute handling in ODBC
- paramset support
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
Discussed with maintainer and tech-pkg in November. (I don't use
this software myself, but initially looked at this to fix the manual
page installation.)
Get rid of BUILDLINK_PASSTHRU_DIRS as not needed now.
Bump PKGREVISION.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.freetds removed. And BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.freetds
set to this new version.
TODO: allow threadsafe on platforms that support it.
Main changes since 0.61 besides general bug fixes:
* BCP support for db-lib and ct-lib
* many ODBC fixes
* added support for TDS 8.0
* iconv changes (better collation, improve error reporting)
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
