I'm pleased to announce the long awaited new version of psqlODBC. This
release represents a major change in the packaging and distribution of
psqlODBC. In particular the following points should be noted:
1) The build number will now be used to indicate both the release number
(first 2 digits), and snapshot build number (last 2 digits). this
release is 0100, or release 1, snapshot 0. The first development
snapshot will become 0101, the second 0102 and so on. The next official
release should be 07.03.0200.
2) With this release, the ODBC 3 driver is now the default. The
filenames, driver names and their capabilities are as follows:
psqlodbc.dll PostgreSQL ODBC3.0 Level
driver
psqlodbc25.dll PostgreSQL Legacy ODBC2.5 Level
driver
psqlodbc30w.dll PostgreSQL Unicode (Beta) Beta quality ODBC3.0
level driver with Unicode support
3) The 3 drivers are no longer self contained. psqlodbc.dll is used as
the setup dll for all three drivers, hence no matter how you
redistribute or install the drivers, you should always include this
file.
In addition, this driver fixes an annoying problem with recent builds of
PostgreSQL on Redhat systems that have a particularly long compiler
version string that caused a buffer overflow resulting in a GPF on
Windows upon connection to the database.
The driver is released under the LGPL, and can be downloaded from the
Downloads page on the website at

Regards, Dave.
