Subject: mSQL 2.0.9 is now available
Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.3.96.990415182211.486C-100000@fawn.hughes.com.au>

Release 2.0.9 of Mini SQL is now available from www.Hughes.com.au. This
release is a bug fix release in the 2.0 series. As of this release, the
development tree has been branched and all further development efforts
will be devoted to the 2.1 code series. Bug fixes will naturally be
incorporated into the 2.0 branch and subsequent release in the 2.0 series
will be made as required.

The details for this release are included below.

15 April 1999 2.0.9
-------------------------

        mSQL
        ====

        o Incorporated more Win32 portability.
        o Added DB_Dir config element to allow database data files to be
          moved to non-standard locations.
        o Fixed VARCHAR conditional matching problem
        o Fixed problem with partial updates of compound UNIQE indices
        o Fixed field length test to ensure escape characters are not
          viewed as part of the string (Resulting in 'field too large'
          errors even though the unescaped string is OK)

        Lite / W3-mSQL
        ==============

        o Fixed the Force_Private config element so that once set, files
          must be loaded from the INST_DIR/www directory (removes the
          chance of w3-msql being used to access other files in your
          web tree that may be controlled by htaccess security)
        o Fixed possible missing NULL termination on variable creation
          in w3-auth which was causing program failure due to missing
          internal data.

New Features
------------
mSQL 2.0.9 Release
===========================================================================

mSQL
----
        o The DB_Dir element has been added to the runtime config
          file so that the system administrator may choose a
          directory other than INST_DIR/msqldb as the location
          of the data files. If a non-default location is used, the
          sys admin must ensure that the specified DB is owned by the
          mSQL_User and that it contains a directory called .tmp which
          is also owned by the mSQL_User.

Lite / w3-mSQL
--------------
        No new features but several bug fixes.
