Product page: http://www.egenix.com/products/zope/mxODBCZopeDA/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS We are pleased to announce the new version 2.1.2 of our mxODBC Zope/Plone Database Adapter product. Compatibility Enhancements -------------------------- * Added a work-around for a regression in Python 2.7.4 that results in a segfault when exiting Zope/Plone after loading the mxODBC Zope DA. The regression will be fixed in Python 2.7.5, but we don't want to expose our users to segfaults, so added a work-around. See http://bugs.python.org/issue17703 for the bug ticket. * Upgraded the underlying mxODBC library to version 3.2.3. Please see the mxODBC 3.2.3 release announcement for additional details: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-3.2.3-GA.html Driver Compatibility -------------------- * Please also see the mxODBC Zope DA 2.1.1 announcement for an important new feature which allows to dramatically increase the fetch performance when working with MS SQL Server and IBM DB2 databases. http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-Zope-DA-2.1.1-GA.html For the full set of changes please check the change log: http://www.egenix.com/products/zope/mxODBCZopeDA/changelog.html ________________________________________________________________________ FEATURES Version 2.1.0 of our mxODBC Zope/Plone Database Adapter product was released on 2012-09-18.
