This version is mostly changes to the build system. If your current
version is working, you can stick with it.
o Visual C++ build now requires GNU make. It is tested to work
with either the Cygwin or the MinGW versions. The previous
version of MySQL++ used nmake. This change enabled the
following features:
o Debug and Release versions are both built into
separate subdirectories.
o Dependency tracking for release version works
correctly now. (Previously dependencies worked
only for debug version.)
o 'make clean' removes release version binaries
in addition to debug versions.
o MinGW makemake support updated to support new release/debug
subdirectory system. This is probationary support, since
this code currently can't be built as a DLL. As a result,
it is no more useful than the Cygwin version, for licensing
reasons.
o Several fixes to allow building on Solaris 8. These fixes may
also help on other SVR4-derived systems.
o Removed Borland C++ makemake support, because this version
of the library does not work completely, and there seems
to be almost no user interest in fixing it.
o Clarified "Handling SQL Nulls" section of user manual's
Tutorial chapter.
