Lots of little bug fixes in this one:
o Replaced install.bat with new install.hta, which has a GUI and a
lot of embeded logic for doing The Right Thing, which we couldn't
do in a dumb batch file.
o Several fixes to allow it to build on Solaris 10.
o Fixed a bug in comparison of Null<T> to T: wouldn't always give
the right result for one particular combination of argument
values and order of parameters to operator <(). It wouldn't
fail all the time, either; it depended on the way the system's
memory allocator dealt with newly allocated RAM. The bug was
discovered during the Solaris 10 porting effort, but it is not
a Solaris-specific bug.
o Split Linux-specific material out of README-Unix.txt into
README-Linux.txt, and created README-Solaris.txt.
o Shipping a vc2008 directory. Populated by bootstrap script with
copies of vc2005 files when those are newer, with the idea being
to update them by hand by running them through VC++2008 before
release.
o Several fixes to VS-only examples. They hadn't been updated to
track several of the changes in MySQL++ v3, so they wouldn't
build OOTB at all, crashed when you did get them building, and
emitted a lot of warnings during the build. Cleaned it all up.
o Autoconf now explicitly checks whether we need to link to zlib
to link to MySQL C API library. It used to be required, but
lately, MySQL has been shipping the library with zlib stuff
embedded, causing multiply defined symbol errors on some systems.
As always, it's available at http://tangentsoft.net/mysql++/
