A new OCILIB release is available !

Content :

• Added support for PL/SQL tables (PL/SQL arrays)  when binding C (native and OCILIB types arrays) to PL/SQL block

• Extended Date, timestamp and interval support : few more functions, added conversion to ISO C time datatypes and now these types can be created independtly from database connections

• Extended OCI_Connection handle attributes : alive status and association of program user data

• Added Support for retreiving server output : calls to dbms_output.put() and dbms_output.put_line() from inside PL/SQL blocks, triggers, procedures, packages, .. can be now retreived by OCILIB

• Added Support for OCI Threadkeys : you can now have a process wide name identifier (key) that can have hold thread specific values (a bit like a getenv() and putenv() but values are stored by thread)

• Extended runtime loading of Oracle shared libs on various Unix-like systems : some exotic sharted lib names (dylib, sh, …) are now handled by the configure script and also managed for runtime time loading of Oracle shared libs

• Added Support for Oracle Instant Client on Unix-like systems : 2 options have been added to the configure script in order to handle Instant Client packages correctly (differents packages for headers and libs + paths are different from regular clients)

• Extended OCILIB documentation : added an installation page for all platforms and all examples have been checked out and extended to full C program source code
