This release adds full support for Unicode and
Python 3.0. It also improves extensibility by
allowing hooks which can change the way data is
passed between the database and Python. Support
was also added for the interval day to second data
type and database resident connection pooling
(DRCP) in Oracle 11g.
This release enables forward compatibility with the next major release, and adds support for additional data types in Oracle objects. Additional minor enhancements were performed as requested. It also improves the documentation and the build process on less commonly used platforms.
This release improves the default performance and
error handling of the module and the ability to
build the module in different software
configurations. The documentation has been updated
to use the new Python documentation style.
This release adds a number of features specific to
Oracle 10g Release 2 and adds support for Oracle
11g. A few samples have been added to the
distribution to aid in understanding advanced
features. The setup script has been enhanced to
make building the module simpler and less error
prone.
