  • When setting connection attributes set before connect also check if the W entry poins can be used
  • Try calling the W error functions first if available in the driver
  • Add iconvperdriver configure option to allow calling unicode_setup in SQLAllocHandle
  • iconv handles was being lost when reusing pooled connection
  • Catch null copy in iniPropertyInsert
  • Fix a few leaks

  • Remove unixODBC-2.3.7-warning-cleanup.patch: upstreamed

  • Update to 2.3.7:

  • Fix for pkg-config file update on no linux platforms
