Dear PHP Community,
Hi all, we are delighted to share the Preview (4.0.6) of the SQLSRV and PDO_SQLSRV driver (64bit and 32bit) for Linux. Updated Linux drivers are available for applications running PHP7+ on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 16.04, and RedHat 7.2.
The major highlights of this release is the availability of bug fixes, and new functionality.
Here is a summary of the bug fixes and improvements:
- Drivers versioning has been redesigned as Major#.Minor#.Release#.Build#. Build number is specific to binaries and it doesn't match with the number on the source.
- Fixed the issue with duplicate warning messages in PDO_SQLSRV drivers when error mode is set to PDO::ERRMODE_WARNING.
- Fixed the issue with invalid UTF-8 strings, those are detected before executing any queries and proper error message is returned.
- Fixed segmentation fault in sqlsrv_fetch_object and sqlsrv_fetch_array function.
- Compiler C++ 11 is enabled in config file.
Future Plans
Going forward we plan to expand SQL 16 Feature Support (example: Always Encrypted), build verification/fundamental tests and bug fixes.
