This is 8.01.0105 development snapshot with one stability fix two
feature changes and one change which could be problematic in worst case.

We appriciate when you test this new release. Please drop us a note
in pgsql-odbc mailing list if it's ok or not.

It contains only psqlodbca.dll and psqlodbcw.dll.
You can install it only over some installed release version with
additional DLLs.


Changes:
1) psqlodbc-cancel_abort.diff
   thie may fix problem with rollback aborted queries
   this is the patch we don't know if it's fully ok (it may be)

Um, it might be nice of you create a CVS tag for snapshot releases (as
was done in the past) and if you provided the source code somewhere.
This is "open source" software after all.  And making binary only
releases might also be considered a license violation.

I'm sorry, I forgot. You can download it from pgfoundry.org:

It's not compiled from CVS only. There is some patches which isn't
commited yet. May I still create CVS tag?

I think all patches goes through pgsql-odbc mailing list so if anyone
would get the source he can. I don't think over a license violation.
If you think it's license violation I have to remove older dev
snapshots (it's too time consuming to get source for it) and I'll add
source code for latest dev snapshot).

What's your opinion?

Thanks

Luf

No. CVS tags must match what is actually released.

I think Peter's being a little over cautious. There have been psqlODBC
snapshots released without source releases right back to when Byron was
maintaining it years ago. They are 'official' project snapshots, built
for testing purposes by the primary copyright holders (PGDG) and
released onto the project site which hosts the source repository. AFAICR
I'm the only one who ever did release source tarballs with snapshots.

The easy way to be sure though, is to just zip up the source tree and
upload it with the binaries, or better yet, build a tarball on a Unix
box or in Msys and upload that.

Ok. I don't remove old snapshots. I put source code for dev snapshot
8.01.0105 when I come at home. I add source code tarball in future with
dev snapshots.

I upload source code for 8.01.0105 few minutes ago.
