1.1 SUPPORTED ENVIRONMENTS
--------------------------
   This service pack is supported on the following Linux distributions:
  - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (x86_64, ppc64le)
  - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 (x86_64, ppc64le)
  - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 (x86_64, ppc64, ppc64le)
  - SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 (x86_64, ppc64le)
  - SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 (x86_64, ppc64le)
  - Ubuntu Linux 24.04 (amd64, ppc64el)
  - Ubuntu Linux 22.04 (amd64, ppc64el)
  - Ubuntu Linux 20.04 (amd64, ppc64el)
 
1.2 INSTALLING ON RPM-BASED LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS
------------------------------------------------
  The service pack includes rpm files for installation on Linux distributions which use RPM for package management. The RPMs will have the names:
  
 ibm-iaccess-VRMF-S.0.ARCH.rpm
  
  Where VRMF is the Service Pack level, S is the RPM version, and ARCH is one of x86_64, ppc64, and ppc64le. The RPMs will be located under the directory of the corresponding architecture.
  
  Example installation instructions:
  
  - RPM generic:
    rpm -ihv ibm-iaccess-1.1.0.15-1.0.ppc64.rpm

  - openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise:
    zypper in ibm-iaccess-1.1.0.15-1.0.ppc64le.rpm

  - Fedora, CentOS, RHEL:
    yum install ibm-iaccess-1.1.0.15-1.0.x86_64.rpm

  NOTE: In some cases you may have to force install the rpm due to unixODBC version changes. See section 1.3 for more information.
  
1.3 INSTALLING ON DEBIAN-BASED LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS
---------------------------------------------------
  The service pack includes deb files for installation on Debian-based Linux distributions. The DEBs will have the names:
  
 ibm-iaccess-VRMF-S.0.ARCH.deb
  
  Where VRMF is the Service Pack level, S is the DEB version, and ARCH is one of amd64 or ppc64le. The DEBs will be located under the directory of the corresponding architecture.
  
  Example installation instructions:
  
  apt install ./ibm-iaccess-1.1.0.15-1.0.ppc64el.deb

 NOTE: The path to the deb file *must* be qualified and begin with either './' or '/' or apt will think the file path is a package name and give an error while trying to retrieve it from the repository.

  For amd64 systems, there is also included a 32-bit package that can be installed along side the 64-bit package. This enables both 32-bit and 64-bit applications to co-exist.

4.0 ENHANCEMENTS AND INTERNAL FIXES
------------------------------------
   This a list of enhancements and internal fixes.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.28
Build Date = May 2024
---------------------------------
No enhancements.
 
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.27
Build Date = November 2022
---------------------------------
- Add TLS (SSL) support using OpenSSL. This requires that the OpenSSL libraries
  provided by your OS are installed, eg. openssl-libs, libopenssl-1_1,
  libssl1.1, etc. OpenSSL versions 3.0, 1.1.1, and 1.0.2 are supported, with the
  most recent version found taking precedence. Unlike with GSKit on Windows, FIPS
  mode is not supported.
- Add EnableKeepAlive connection string keyword to enable TCP keepalive support
  as an alternative to using cwbcopwr. Setting to 0 disables keepalives, 1
  enables keepalives, and 2 uses the cwbcopwr value (default).
- Add Timeout connection string keyword to set the socket timeout (in seconds)
  when communicating with the server. This is an alternative to using the
  SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT connection attribute or cwbcopwr.
- Add LoginTimeout connection string keyword to set the connection timeout (in
  seconds) when initially connecting and logging in to the server. This is an
  alternative to using the SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT connection attribute.
- Fix handling of QueryStorageLimit=*NOMAX. Previously, this would get
  interpreted as if 0 had been specified.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.26
Build Date = May 2022
---------------------------------
- Unify version number with IBM i Access Client Solutions Windows Application
  Package
- Add support for IBM i 7.5 PWDLVL 4
- Add support for IBM i 7.5 BOOLEAN SQL data type
- Add support for SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT and proper support for
  SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT. In addition, cwbcopwr can be used to set, send, and receive socket timeouts.
- Add cwbcopwr utility
- SQL_DESC_OCTET_LENGTH and SQL_DESC_DISPLAY_LENGTH now take in to account any expansion that might occur due to CCSID conversion. For instance, a CHAR(10) EBCDIC column will now return 20 instead of 10 for the above attributes when the client is in UTF-8 since extended ASCII characters take 2 bytes in UTF-8 but only 1 byte in EBCDIC. This allows retrieving the full column data in PHP's odbc and pdo_odbc extensions, especially on IBM i 7.4 and beyond where the default PASE CCSID is 1208.
- Fix bug on big endian systems where error message text would be blank in some cases
- Fix getaddrinfo error reporting on macOS and PASE systems. These were not being mapped correctly, giving odd error messages.  For example:
  "rc=8 - CWB0008 - Insufficient personal computer resources" instead of 
  "rc=11001 - CWBCO1004 - Remote address could not be resolved"
- Allow SQL_ATTR_ROW_ARRAY_SIZE to change after data has been (pre-)fetched.
- Remove duplicate DBCLOB() CCSID 13488 row returned by SQLGetTypeInfo when called with SQL_ALL_TYPES
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.15
Build Date = May 2021
---------------------------------
- Implement the current_date, current_time, current_timestamp, timestampadd, and timestampdiff ODBC scalar function escape sequences. For more details, refer to the following ODBC documents:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/develop-app/scalar-function-calls
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/appendixes/time-date-and-interval-functions

- Add TrimCharFields connection option to trim trailing blank characters when retrieving CHAR and GRAPHIC fields. Setting this option to 1 will enable trimming, while setting it to 0 (default) will disable trimming.
- Add AlwaysCalculateResultLength connection option. Setting this option to 1 will prevent the driver from returning SQL_NO_TOTAL, while setting it to 0 (default) will allow the driver to return SQL_NO_TOTAL. Some applications do not expect SQL_NO_TOTAL (-4) and treat it as the actual length, causing problems. Note that calculating the actual result length can require repeated character conversion, so for performance reasons it's advised to not enable this feature unless absolutely necessary.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.14
Build Date = Aug 2020
---------------------------------
- Better handling of surrogate pairs in UTF-16 when converting to and from
  UTF-8 or UTF-32.
- Send SQL text in UTF-16 instead of UCS-2 when UnicodeSQL is 1 or 2
- Improve ODBC error reporting when server messages contain embedded NUL bytes.
  This should result in fewer "Error message text unavailable" messages.
- Allow setting SQL_ATTR_TXN_ISOLATION to 0 for COMMIT(*NONE). Some driver managers restrict the values to those defined by ODBC. In that case, a custom driver attribute CWB_ATTR_TXN_ISOLATION (2139) can be used which functionn identically to SQL_ATTR_TXN_ISOLATION and bypasses the restriction.
- Support for using ODBC escape sequences in connection strings. The primary benefit is for passwords which contain any of the special characters '"', '=', and ';'. Wrap any value in curly braces "{}" to embed special characters. A '}' can be doubled inside an open escape sequence to escape it.
- Fix driver identification on POWER. This should now give ppc, ppc64, and ppc64le correctly depending on the platform. Previously it always gave ppc.
- Fix possible crash when fetching an output parameter from a stored procedure and tracing is enabled.
- Utilities in /opt/ibm/iaccess/bin (for example: cwbtrc, cwbmedic, ...) are now symlinks to /usr/bin
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.13
Build Date = Feb 2020
---------------------------------
 - Fix a bug in fetch processing that could cause a call to SQLFetch, SQLFetchScroll, or SQLExtendedFetch after a forward-only cursor had reached the end of data in a previous fetch call to return the last rowset of data again instead of returning SQL_NO_DATA. In some cases, this could result in another fetch call being made to the server, resulting in an error.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.12
Build Date = May 2019
---------------------------------
No enhancements.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.11
Build Date = November 2018
---------------------------------
No enhancements.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.10
Build Date = May 2018
---------------------------------
No enhancements.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.9
Build Date = October 2017
---------------------------------
- No longer incorrectly claim support for the ODBC Explicit data type conversion function
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.8
Build Date = May 2017
---------------------------------
- Fix for result set operations that could cause a statement handle to get in to a bad state after calling a stored procedure that returns a result set and then calling a stored procedure which does not return a result set. Due to a flag not getting unset when it is re-used, the ODBC driver simultaneously thinks that it has a result set and does not have a result set. This will cause a Function Sequence Error when attempting to close the non-existent result set or execute a query.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.7
Build Date = October 2016
---------------------------------
No enhancements.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.6
Build Date = May 2016
---------------------------------
- Connection string keyword tracing enhancements
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.5
Build Date = October 2015
---------------------------------
No enhancements.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.4
Build Date = May 2015
---------------------------------
- Support for Little Endian Power Systems running Ubuntu 14.04
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.3
Build Date = October 2014
---------------------------------
- Support for truncating blank padding from character types using SQLBindParameter and SQLPutData. When the character parameter does not fit in the target field after conversion, the ODBC driver will attempt to truncate blanks (both the ASCII space and the ideographic space characters) from the end of the buffer until the parameter fits in to the target target field after conversion. If the driver truncates blanks, it will return SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO and set SQLSTATE 01004. If the buffer does not fit even after truncate blanks (if any), it will continue to return SQL_ERROR and set SQLSTATE 22001. There is still no support for truncating blank padding when using SQLPutData with LOB locators nor support for truncating NULL character padding for SQL_C_BINARY parameters.
- Support for Little Endian Power Systems running SUSE Linux Enterprise 12.
- Installation path is now /opt/ibm/iaccess instead of /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess.
  A symlink has been added for compatibility, but may be removed in a future release.
- New header file, /opt/ibm/iaccess/include/cwbodbc.h, contains various IBM i Access ODBC driver specific definitions.
- Improved dependency resolution for .deb files.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.2
Build Date = May 2014
---------------------------------
- Support for connecting to IBM i 7.2 systems.
- Support for timestamp columns and parameters with precisions other than 6 when connecting to IBM i 7.2 systems.
- Support for returning IBM-format timestamps instead of ISO-format timestamps when using SQLBindCol and SQLGetData. Use the new TimestampFormat odbc.ini attribute or the TST connection string keyword (0 = ISO, 1 = IBM).
- ODBC driver is now registered with Threading=0, so multiple threads can use the same connection handles or statement handles.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.1
Build Date = October 2013
---------------------------------
- Support for rpm-based Linux on Power Systems.
- Improved installation and upgrade processing.
- 32-bit co-installable packages for 64-bit systems.
- 64-bit installations now use /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/bin instead of /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/bin64.  A symlink has been added for compatibility, but may be removed in a future release.
---------------------------------
Version: 1.1.0.0
Date = June 2013
