Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.14 21th Nov 2006, 3rd Mar 2008
  (previous changes to 1.14 were not released)
  Fixed Windows x64 builds.
  Set max ASA version to 9, handle 9.0.2 bin32/bin64 directories.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.14 7th Sept 2006
  (previous changes to 1.14 were not released)
  Added a manifest to the DLL for VS2005 builds.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.14 9th Dec 2005
  (previous changes to 1.14 were not released)
  Added -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE to avoid VS2005 warnings.
  Cleaned up the README & the examples a bit.
  Added README.nt with CRLF line endings.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.14  29th Jan 2004, 5th Apr 2005
  Parsing for placeholders assumed that only single-quotes could be used to 
    delimit a string. Now, either single or double quotes can be used.
  If fetch was called when there were no more rows, the driver set the err 
    value to (integer) zero but DBI could interpret that as a warning because
    it converted it to a string and saw that it was non-empty. We now set
    err to the empty string.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.13	7th Mar 2002, 3rd Sept 2003, 29th Oct 2003
  Support 64bit UNIX platforms
  Avoid compile-time warning about assign_blob()
  Added /opt/sybase/SYBS* as default installation directories to search for ASA
  An error was reported if execute() was called twice on the same statement
    handle. Changed execute() to close a previously opened cursor using that
    statement. Also, the prepared statement was being dropped during
    finish() rather during destroy & that prevented the prepare_cache from
    working.
  Updated README to warn about resource governor errors now that statement
    handles are not dropped until destroy time.
  Set the "state" value on the handle when an error occurs.
  Fetching 64-bit integers failed when they contained more than 8 digits
    because we fetch them as strings but left the length as the size of the
    bigint datatype (8 bytes).
  Fixed additional compiler warnings from VC7.
  Added CLONE method.
  Added better handling for detecting new ASA versions -- should handle
   up to version 15 now (version 9 is the highest shipping version).
  Implemented the blob_read function which is an undocumented DBI API.
  Changed the long string/binary fetching code so that long character strings
    are fetched as varchar rather than binary so that character set translation
    will be applied to the string.
  Added a commit operation after a cursor is closed if AutoCommit is enabled.
    Previously, a commit was only performed if a non-cursor statement was
    executed. DML executed in procedures returning result sets were not
    committed.
  Added "-r" switch to sqlpp to generate thread-safe code.
  Added dbtasks library to UNIX link lines.
  Link against "_r" reentrant versions of ASA libraries when using ithreads
    on UNIX platforms.
  Avoid warning when building with VS.NET 2003 which has deprecated the
    /Gf switch (automatically added by MakeMaker). Changed it to /GF.
  Allow ASANY installation directory to be specified by the "ASANY{ver}"
    environment variable (ASANY9, ASANY8, etc).

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.12	11th May 2001
  Fixed a problem with inout parameters where binding other parameters can
    cause us to find the incorrect location of the output parameter in the
    output SQLDA.
  Correctly handle NULL output parameters from procedures.
  Removed some debug printfs that snuck into v1.10.
  Corrected README to show that bind_param_inout is a supported function.
  Do not treat warnings as errors (err/errstr are still set but the calls
    to execute/fetch will not report a failure).

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.11	27th March 2001
  Calling a procedure or batch that returned a result set for which
    the engine could not infer the data types, errors were reported. Fixed
    by describing the cursor after it was opened.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.10	13th November 2000
  Added support for AutoCommit.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.09	21st September 2000
  Added support for type_info_all and (indirectly) quote()
  Added support for the following statement attributes:
    TYPE, ASATYPE, SCALE, PRECISION, NULLABLE, CursorName,
    Statement, and RowsInCache. 
  	RowsInCache always returns undef.
	ASATYPE returns an array of native ASA type codes which
	  is more detailed than the ODBC-types returned
	  by the TYPE attribute. ASA type codes correspond to
	  integer values defined in sqldef.h or you can use
	  ASA type codes directly by doing 'use DBD::ASAny qw(:asa_types);'
  Changed handling of parameters to the connect() method to be more
    consistent with other drivers.
  Fixed a memory leak: space allocated for non-string, non-binary fields
    of an output SQLDA were not freed.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.08	15th August 2000
  When executing a statement that affected zero rows, an error was
    reported rather than success.
  Fixed driver to build with ActivePerl build 616 and DBI 1.14.
  Makefile now searches for SQLAnywhere in /opt/SYBSsa[6-9] as well as
    /opt/SYBSasa[6-9].

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.07	17th May 2000
  Fixed bug introduced in 1.06 - a statement that is prepared
    then dropped before being used could cause a GPF.
  Minor revision to license text.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.06	10th March 2000
  Added support for blobs and long strings. Values transferred to
    or from the engine can be up to 2GB in size. Default LongReadLen
    value for DBD::ASAny is 1MB. There is no default limit to
    the length of string that can be written (there appears to be
    no 'LongWriteLen' attribute in DBI).
  Added support for treating strings as binary data. When sending
    data to the engine (for an insert or update), the user must
    provide the DBI::SQL_BINARY or similar type attribute in
    a bind_param call. For fetching data, DBD::ASAny automatically
    detects that a column is binary. If binary data is treated as
    text it may be subjected to character set translation.
  Removed reference to GNU public license/Artistic license.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.05	25th January 2000

  Added Sybase license agreement
  Adding a call to db_fini when a connection attempt failed. Not calling
    db_fini in this situation caused a memory leak.
  Added better handling for detecting new ASA versions -- should handle
   up to version 9 now (which doesn't exist yet...)

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.04	19th November 1999

  Fixed inout parameter support.
  Moved changes info from Makefile.PL to this file.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.03	9th November 1999

  Driver now builds on HPUX, AIX, Linux with native and GNU compilers.
  Dynamically resize SQLDA for bind variables or output values if the
    default size is not large enough.
  Avoid "memory leak" caused by dblib holding onto cursor information
    so that the cursor can be reopend without being redeclared.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.02	21st October 1999

  Driver should now be thread safe & it builds with the
    threaded version of perl; however, perl threads and/or DBI
    in a threaded environment is very unstable. Simple multithreaded
    tests easily crash perl.

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.01	5th August 1999

  Initial Win32 support by Matthew C. Keranen (mck@iag.net).
  Win32 version requires ActivePerl (www.activestate.com).

Changes in DBD::ASAny 1.00	8th December 1998

  Changed SQL Anywhere driver (DBD::SQLAny) into Adaptive Server Anywhere
    driver(DBD::ASAny)
