Dear Developers and Users,

Binaries for MyODBC 3.51.07 (MySQL Connector/ODBC)are now available at:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html

All UNIX versions were compiled against MySQL 4.0.18 and unixODBC 
2.2.8, except in the case of Mac OSX, which was compiled against IODBC 
3.0.6. Windows binaries were compiled against the default windows ODBC 
driver. The current windows binary self-executing install packages are 
presented as both .exe and .msi, whichever is preferred.

CHANGELOG

This is the 'bug fix' release of Connector/ODBC '3.51.07'. Here is
the list of changes in the 3.51.07:

-- Use MyODBC with 4.0 client library
-- Fix configure to take options from mysql_config.
    Now one only have to supply --with-mysql-path instead of
    --with-mysql-libs and --with-mysql-includes
    This also fixes linking problems with libraries like ssl
-- Fix compiler warnings
-- Compile thread safe library as default
-- Disable sigpipe if not compiling threadsafe
-- Test are now run with users 'odbc', password ''
-- Big code cleanup to make the code (more) conformant to MYSQL coding
    conventions
-- Fixed a crash when SQLSetPos is called with SQL_ADD to insert
    a record with empty value i.e. when pcbValue is SQL_COLUMN_IGNORE
-- Fixed SQLFetch to return and update SQL_ATTR_ROWS_FETCHED_PTR and
    SQL_ATTR_ROW_STATUS_PTR statement attribute pointers appropriately
-- Fixed SQLFetch to take care SQL_ROWSET_SIZE correctly.
-- Added internal MyODBC test library under 'test' directory
-- Added bin-tar to Makefile.am to generate the binary distro directly
-- Added make_win_src_distribution.sh to scripts/ to generate Windows
    source archieve.
-- Source code structure change to take care of Windows files and its
    Makefiles separately into 'win32' directory.
-- Fix for .NET crash when creating the MFC database project (BR #913)
-- Added search pattern for all catalog APIs for all input parameters
    (Catalog, Table and Column names) (back port feature from 3.52).
-- Added the support of SQLProcedures when talking with MySQL 5.0
    (back port feature from 3.52).
-- Fixed SQL_ATTR_CURRENT_CATALOG to take correct length pointer.
-- Portability fixups while using the platform dependant compilers
