This file contains the history of changes in the SOCI library.
--- Version 3.1.0 differs from 3.0.0 in the following ways: - Added Ada language binding - Migraded build system from GNU Autotools and Visual Studio projects to CMake - CMake build tested with Visual Studio, GCC and clang - Incorporated a compromise for naming versioned shared libraries - Enhanced and improved integration with Boost libraries: -- Boost.DateTime -- Boost.Fusion -- Boost.Optional -- Boost.Tuple - Bug fixes and improvements in core and backends: -- Added soci::values::get_properties accessor useful for composing soci::type_conversion -- Export advanced API of backend loader from DLL. -- Added static factory registration functions for backends -- Added get_affected_rows operation -- Fixed thread-safety of connection pool under Windows -- Fixed bug with droping const qualifiers when binding to std::vector<soci::indicator> -- Fixed bug in default initialization of an object of const backend_factory wihch requires user-provided default constructor (see C++03/C++0x) -- Fixes for 64-bit builds -- Removed redundant exchange_traits breaking ODR on LP64 -- Better ODBC support -- Type conversion support for unsigned integer types -- Bug ID:1971436 - incorrect rowset copy operations -- Bug ID:2010367 - memory leak (ODBC) -- Bug ID:2010409 - invalid memory allocaton in define by position (ODBC) -- Bug ID:2021243 - long long type support in Visual C++ -- Patch ID:2483066 - 64bit Linux and 64bit integer submitted -- Patch ID:2809809 - Fix build with GCC 4.4 -- Patch ID:2809810 - Fix SQLite3 build with GCC 4.3 -- Patch ID:2581206 - Windows unicode application -- Patch ID:3058275 - install target for cmake build submitted -- Patch ID:3069375 - use $(prefix)/lib64 on AMD64 platforms. -- Improved performance while accessing query results (MySQL) -- Bug fixes for PROCEDURE support (MySQL) -- Removed throw statements from mysql_rowid_backend and mysql_blob_backend destructors (MySQL) -- Verify that prepared statements survive session::reconnect() operatoin (MySQL) -- Improved support for time and date (MySQL, PostgreSQL) -- Fixed bug with strings of length exceeding 255 characters (ODBC) -- Improved interpretation of the connect string (Oracle) -- Added handling of unsigned long long (Oracle, SQLite3, PostgreSQL) -- Fixes in integral types support (PostgreSQL) -- Support for colon-casts (PostgreSQL) -- Added possibility for use BLOB (PostgreSQL) -- Added support for connection property "synchronous=on|off" (SQLite3) -- Improved BLOB data handling (SQLite3) -- Improved boolean type suppport (SQLite3) -- Session timeout support (SQLite3) -- Improved tests clean-up (SQLite3) -- Added missing typedef of sqlite3_destructor_type which has been defined in sqlite3.h but since 3.3.10 (see comment for reference to SQLite ticket) - Updated tests for various backends and SQL data types - Migrated from CVS to Git repository - Changed naming convensions and style across all the source code - Firebird backend removed from official release as not actively maintained. Available in the Git repository. --- Version 3.0.0 differs from 2.2.0 in the following ways: - Exposed the session's locale object. - Moved the "no data" flag from indicators to statement. - Allowed const objects as "use" elements. - Added connection mode for Oracle. - Added RAII support for transactions. - Added the open/close/reconnect functionality. - Added support for long long as a fundamental data type. - Unified column names for dynamic rowset description, to overcome differences between database servers. - Added the "simple" interface for interfacing from other languages. - Added thread-safe connection pool. - Added integrated support for Boost data types: gregorian_date, fusion and tuple. - Added dynamic backend loading. - Changed the naming convention to comply with Boost recommendations. --- Version 2.2.0 differs from 2.1.0 in the following ways: - Added true support for statement preparation with PostgreSQL. - Added support for the stream-like extraction from Row. - Added STL-compatible iterator interface for select statements. - Refactored the set of common tests to validate core library functionality independently on the target database server. - Introduced new backends for MS SQL Server (via ODBC) and Firebird. - Provided complete build system for both Unix (autotools) and Windows (solution and project files for MSVC++). --- Version 2.1.0 differs from 2.0.1 in the following ways: - Added two additional backends: MySQL and SQLite3 - Restructured the source code layout so that the whole library was broken into the "core" part and independent "backends", each in its own directory together with appropriate tests. - Provided basic Makefiles for static and shared libraries on Linux-compatible systems. - Added the general class and function reference to the documentation. --- Version 2.0.1 differs from 2.0.0 in the following ways: - Corrected some typos in documentation. - Corrected handling of dynamic rowset description for those backends which do not have dedicated description functionality. - A bug fix to correctly handle std::tm in the Oracle backend. - A bug fix to correctly handle object relational mapping when Values::set<T>() and Values::get<T>() are called where T is a TypeConversion-based type. --- Version 2.0.0 differs from 1.2.1 in the following ways: - The whole library was internally re-architectured to allow operation with many different backends. The top-level part of the library (the syntax layer) provides essentially the same interface as in previous versions of the library, but it can work with independent (and dynamically selected) backends, possibly targeting different database engines. As a prove of concept (and to encourage developments of new backends), the PostgreSQL backend was provided in addition to the Oracle one. During this re-architecturing, some minor bugs were fixed as well. - The old Boost-style license was changed to the new (v. 1.0) Boost license. --- The version 1.2.1 differs from 1.2.0 in the following ways: - A bug was fixed that caused compile errors on MS VC++ compiler. --- The version 1.2.0 differs from 1.1.0 in the following ways: - A memory leak when reading into Row objects was fixed. - Bulk (array) operations were introduced for high-performance applications, where the number of network round-trips can be significantly reduced by operating on whole arrays (vectors). --- The version 1.1.0 differs from 1.0.1 in the following ways: - Explicit support for calling stored procedures was added. - Dynamic row recognition (type discovery) was added. - Support for user-defined data types was added. |
