important change: 3.51.12 doesn't work anymore with mysql-client-5.0.67nb1,
a function has been removed from the mysql-client library.
Other changes:
* lots of bug fixes
* Added FLAG_COLUMN_SIZE_S32 to limit the reported column size to a
signed 32-bit integer. This option is automatically enabled for ADO
applications, in order to work around a bug in ADO. (Bug #13776)
* Added FLAG_MULTI_STATEMENTS to allow issuing queries that contain
multiple statements. Also added to the setup GUI. (Bug #7445)
* Removed support for the TRACE and TRACEFILE DSN options. The standard
ODBC logging should be used.
* Added support for SQL_ATTR_ROW_BIND_OFFSET_PTR in normal cursors.
(Bug #6741)
* Added SSL options to the GUI setup dialog.
* Added an option (CHARSET) for specifying the default character
set for a connection. This must be used instead of a "SET NAMES"
statement. Also available from the GUI setup dialog. (Related
to Bug #6667 and Bug #9498.)
* Dis-allow NULL ptr for null indicator when calling SQLGetData()
if value is null. Now returns SQL_ERROR w/state 22002.
* Fixed calling convention ptr and wrong free in myodbc3i, and fixed
the null terminating (was only one, not two) when writing DSN to string.
* Added support for using SSL. This is not yet exposed in the setup GUI,
but must be enabled through configuration files or the DSN. (Bug #12918)
* Added auto-reconnect option because automatic reconnect is now
disabled by default in libmysql
* Added auto is null option (Bug #10910)
* Added support for SQLMoreResults
* Checking SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_DEAD now always calls mysql_ping() to
check for a dead connection.
* Remove ODBC escape syntax { and } that begin and terminate statements,
allowing {CALL (?)} for procedures that don't require OUT or INOUT
parameters
* Improved regression tests
* Added --with-separate-debug-driver ./configure option
