Thread: RE: psqlODBC 10.01.0000 Released -- what about 9.6.6?
Hi, I can see that the 09.06.0500 driver disappeared from https://download.postgresql.org/pub/repos/yum/9.6/redhat/rhel-7-x86_64/ Will it be back? Will there be an update for PostgreSQL 9.6.6? 9.x.x? Can driver 10.01.0000 be used with PostgreSQL 9.6.6? All for Windows/Linux 64 bit. Thank you. Georgiy Pruss -----Original Message----- Hi, all. We are pleased to annouce the release of psqlODBC 10.01.0000. please see the notes at: https://odbc.postgresql.org/docs/release.html psqlODBC may be downloaded from in source, Windows Installer, merge module, and basic zip file formats. New Windows installer installs both 32-bit and 64-bit driver at once on 64-bit OS. Both drivers may be needed on 64-bit OSbecause 32-bit applications require 32-bit driver and 64-bit applications require 64-bit driver. Please post any bug reports to the mailing list. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved with the development, testing and bug fixing of the updateddriver. We are grateful to the help of many peoples. Thanks! -- psqlODBC team. email: pgsql-odbc@postgresql.org website: https://odbc.postgresql.org/

Please keep in mind that this is a version number for the ODBC driver, and that it is not related to PostgreSQL upstream :) Hiroshi-san uses this version numbering for ages, and the two-first digits match with the last major version of upstream PostgreSQL available, and the timing of releases between both is the only point shared. -- Michael
I see. Yet a bit misleading anyway. So, there are old versions of PostgreSQL for downloading, old versions of ODBC driver for Windows (https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/),can we have old versions for Linux please? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Paquier [mailto:michael.paquier@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 5, 2018 03:50 To: Georgy Pruss <gpruss@ksf.kiev.ua> Cc: Hiroshi Saito <hiroshi@winpg.jp>; PostgreSQL mailing lists <pgsql-odbc@postgresql.org> Subject: Re: psqlODBC 10.01.0000 Released -- what about 9.6.6?

Thank you. You are only looking at the Windows side of things with https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/. All past tarballs of the code are here, and the compilation of the driver in this case is distribution-dependent, as it depends on libpq and unixodbc, though I recall that ODBC relies on rather stable APIs: https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/src/ So you have all the materials at hand to compile by yourself past versions. -- Michael

I don't think we should recommend users compiling from source. Maybe we should just bite the bullet, and increase ODBC version number to 42, like JDBC folks did. That would solve this (and some more) confusion.

We patented that move :)

It has not been that bad..
