Changes since 0.51:
- tdspool now working for big endian systems
- Added some descriptive text to the PWD file
- EINTR handling during login (Kostya Ivanov)
- Added support for TLI style interfaces files (thanks Michael for explaining)
- Added 'text size' config option which changes textsize on connect
- Added preliminary TDS 8.0 support (no new datatypes supported though)
- Added 'emulate little endian' config flag
- Some TDS5 placeholder stuff. Not ready for primetime yet.
- Added support for new configuration format (freetds.conf)
- unixODBC now working
- Added support for nullable bits (BITN)
- checked in work on tds connection pooling server
- added preliminary userguide (James Lowden and me)
- a lot of work on ODBC driver, now works with PHP
- added config options for iodbc/unixodbc (unixODBC doesn't actually work yet)
- image -> char now works (verified with ctlib only)
- varbinary -> char now works with destlen of -1
- New config routines
- numeric problem with 7.0 fixed
- digit cutoff on numerics/floats fixed
As well as some bug fixes.
BUILDLINK_PREFIX.<pkgname>. This allows buildlink to find X11BASE packages
regardless of whether they were installed before or after xpkgwedge was
installed. Idea by Alistair Crooks <agc@pkgsrc.org>.
FOO_REQD=1.0 being converted to foo>=1.0, one can now directly specify
the dependency pattern as FOO_DEPENDS=foo>=1.0. This allows things like
JPEG_DEPENDS=jpeg-6b, or fancier expressions like for postgresql-lib.
Change existing FOO_REQD definitions in Makefiles to FOO_DEPENDS.
removed all the old unittests from the samples directory
endian detection fixed
'make check' and ctlib unittests
TDS 7.0 fixes, numerics et al
dead connection handling
query timeout stuff
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
- add missing @dirrm's
- remove ELF shared library links (libfoo.so, libfoo.so.0) as these are handled
automatically and break a.out if listed.
- fix incorrect file name
FreeTDS is a free (open source, LGPL-licensed) implementation of
Sybase's db-lib, ct-lib, and ODBC libraries. Currently, dblib and ctlib
are most mature. Both of these libraries have several programs know to
compile and run against them. ODBC is just a roughed in skeleton, and
not useful for real work.
FreeTDS will run at protocol versions 4.2, 4.6, or 5.0 and thus can
access both Sybase and Microsoft SQL-Servers. Experimental support for
TDS 7.0 (the version used by MS SQL Server 7.0) is now included.
