Hi All,

I recently polled the list for feedback of the 07.03.0260 experimental
release of psqlODBC vs. 08.01.0200. Based on the few responses on list,
and conversations I've had with other developers off-list, it seems that
the REL-07_03_ENHANCED code branch should be used as the basis for
future versions of psqlODBC.

I therefore propose the following:

1) The current CVS code is branched into a REL-08_01_PATCHES branch to
be used for bug fixes.

2) The REL-07_03_ENHANCED branch is merged into CVS tip, whilst
maintaing the current installer and documentation etc.

3) The driver is rebranded to
PostgreSQL+/psqlodbcplus.so/psqlodbcplus.lib to differentiate it from
all previous versions.

4) The version number is bumped to 08.02.xxxx in preparation for a
future formal release.

Thoughts/comments/objections?

Regards, Dave.

Hi Dave,

as allways when there are ways to chose from, there should be some guide
nudging the ignorant user (=me) in the "right" direction.

Where is 7.3.x actually better than 8.1.2 ?
Who would be encouraged to switch and the 07-branch anywhere near to be
considered stable for productive use?
Is it faster transfering data with office apps like Access?

An informed pointing finger was nice. ;)

Sure.

Sure.

I disagree. If I remember it right there was psqlodbcplus already.
Why confuse users more? Why we need the differentiation? The driver
is based on 7.3 version ...

I agree.
