2.3.1
    
    * Change type definition of a integer in SQLConnect.c, just to avoid
      confusion
    * Allow setting the DM overrive values in the connection string to SQLDriverConnect
      for example

    * Error and info message order was being inverted by the driver manager
    * Fix memory leak in SQLDriverConnect.c (Thanks JM)

    * Avoid sprintf NULL pointer problem in SQLGetDiagRec
    * Fix typo affecting the pooling of connections, (thanks Chris)
    * Fix SunCC _mcount problem
    * Attempt to stamp version info on thie libs generated. There are aps in use linked against other
      driver managers that expect VERS_3.52

    * Fix threading problem (thanks Petr Vandrovec)
    * Allow use of lib name in a DRIVER= connection string

      safe by now. If the driver is at all thread safe, allow SQLCancel to bipass the
      interlock.
    * Performance change to handle large numbers of connection and statement handles better.
      Thanks for the change from the folks at Acision.
    * Add -k option to isql to treat the DSN as a connection string and use SQLDriverConnect
        isql -k "DSN=server;UID=test;PWD=test"
    * Couple of the SQLSetConnactAttr values are now SQLULEN instead of SQLUINTEGER
    * SQLSetConnectAttr was passing a char length instead of a byte length into the
      Driver SQLSetConnectAttr when converting from Ansi->Unicode
    * Driver version was not being held when a second connection was made to the driver

20th-April-2010

    * Change the file open mode for the ini file from w to w+ just in case the
      original open failed but the file did exist
    * Fix configure problem preventing the CHAR encoding from being passed

  passed to the driver (if it supports it) even if a non unicode connect was done
* Fix buffer overrun in SQLDriverConnectW and SQLColAttributesW
* I have cut back on a lot of the GUI parts that are being added. The goal is to
  create a distinct set of files that contains these and other parts that are
  not part of the core goal of providing ODBC. Likewise the drivers will go on the
  next release, as most DB's now have their own folk working on their drivers
  and they all interoperate with unixODBC so its just adding confusion including them
  here (IMHO that is)
* Prevent a potential buffer overrun in the DM
* The processing of --enable-rtldgroup had been dropped, back now

* Avoid calling SQLGetInfo for every SQLEndTran/SQLTransact
* Remove inconsistency in the return value from SQLGetPrivateProfileString
