• first public release

0.2201 Saturday, November 10, 2001

• this module now comes with pre-built shared libraries for both MacPerl 5.2.0r4 (5.004) and MacPerl 5.6.1 (and higher)
  • hence added INSTALL.5004 and INSTALL.561
    • hence updated documentation in DtfSQL.pm and DtfSQLmac.pm
• added minimum RAM requirements for MacPerl 5.6.1: I recommend at least 11MB of RAM for the app and 12MB for the tool (more is better :)
• some fixes to DtfSQL.xs:
  • malloc() -> New()
  • free() -> Safefree()
  • use sv_setuv() for unsigned longs in DtfResGetField()
• changed DtfSQLmac.pm:all unsupported DBI type constants (i.e. all constants added after DBI 1.08 incl. SQL_ALL_TYPES !) now trigger an error if used in bind_param() (don't do that, boys and girls :)
• fixed DESTROY() for a statement handle in DtfSQLmac.pm (now simply returns undef during global destruction)
• fixed execute(): values now get bound as string or num by using the $dbh->quote() method; hence, values that need escaping of any special characters should now be handled correctly (e.g. bind qq{don't} as string: 'don''t')

0.3201 Saturday, April 06, 2002

• modified Makefile.PL so that this distribution can be installed with the installme.plx droplet under both MacPerl 5.2.0r4 and MacPerl 5.6.1
• The DBI SQL type constant SQL_BIGINT is no longer supported, since SQL_BIGINT is (temporary?) omitted/deprecated as of DBI 1.21 (see the DBI 1.21 changes). Note that SQL_BIGINT was formerly mapped to SQL_INTEGER when used as a type hint, but beginning with this version this mapping is no longer provided.
• fixed some typos/formatting issues in the DtfSQL.pm and DtfSQLmac.pm documentation
• the DtfSQL shared libraries for both MacPerl 5.2.0r4 and MacPerl 5.6.1 now have version resources (so mere mortals can distinguish them :)
