This dev release mostly contains an experimental change to support passing in Unicode strings as catalog/schema/table to the table_info method. I have yet to do column_info, statistics_info, foreign_key_info and primary_key_info.

I'm basically releasing this so anyone who wants to can play with table_info and unicode strings and unless I get error reports I'll move on to make a similar change to the other metadata methods.

Changes since 1.31 are:

=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.32_3 November 15 2011

   [BUG FIXES]

   * Fix bug in utf16_copy which was not adding a trailing NUL but I'm
     not sure this affected anyone until I changed table_info this
     release.

   [ENHANCEMENTS]

   * DBD::ODBC now allows unicode catalog/schema/table parameters to be
     passed to table_info. Of course they will only reliably work with
     a supporting Unicode ODBC driver.


=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.32_2 October 22 2011

   [ENHANCEMENTS]

   * Added new odbc_driver_complete attribute allowing the ODBC Driver
     Manager and ODBC Driver to throw dialogues for incomplete
     connection strings or expired passwords etc.

   [OTHER]

   * added more examples

   [DOCUMENTATION]

   * new FAQ entries

   * added note saying you cannot pass unicode schema/table/column
     names to metadata calls like table_info/column_info currently.

=head2 Changes in DBD::ODBC 1.32_1 June 24 2011

   [BUG FIXES]

   * I omitted rt_68720.t from the 1.31 distribution which leads
     to a warning as it is mentioned in the MANIFEST.
  
   [OTHER]

   * Changed line endings in README.af and README.unicode to be unix
     line endings and native eol-style in subversion.

   * Minor changes to Makefile.PL to save the opensuse guys patching.

   * Added unicode_sql.pl and unicode_params.pl examples
