This is the gamma release of MyODBC 3.51.05. This should be the final release in the development series before making the stable announcement unless if there is any critical bugs from this version.

OpenOffice users must upgrade to this version on all platforms, as this
includes number of fixes, and this version is pre-tested from the Open
Office team before the release.

So, please test this, and let us know the status back.

Here is the list of changes:

-- Fix for the thread-safe library core dumps when the driver is built with the debug options.
-- Fix for OpenOffice to return valid list of catalog names SQLTables along with a valid catalog name.

privilege type in a individual rows.

-- Fixed SQLGetTypeInfo to return individual rows for auto_increment
status for all numeric types. (Request from Gerry Sweeney <gerry@support-works.com>)
-- Fixed to return an error when the conversion is from SQL_C_NUMERIC as the driver is not capable to handle SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT conversion due to lack of descriptors support. (Request from Michael Thomas <mithomas@microsoft.com> from Microsoft ODBC team)
-- Added missed ROWS_FETCH_PTR status to SQLFetch and SQLExtendedFetch as that of SQLFetchScroll along with PARAMS_PROCESSED_PTR.
-- Fixed to not to set the default attributes for the new DSN when the attributes are set through the config APIs (Windows specific).
-- Added to return the DRIVER name when there is no DSN is specified (Unix only fix).
-- Support for the new autoconf tools along with few new configuration
options.
-- Lot of cleanups to configure script to work on all Unix platforms
along with gcc 3.x compatibility.
