I have just uploaded DBD::ODBC 1.52 to the CPAN. Thanks to everyone who reported issues and in particular to Greg for his Pull Request from the PR challenge and to Neil for running it. If you are not part of the CPAN pull request challenge I believe you can still join - see http://cpan-prc.org/.

Below are the changes since the last full release. In particular, I draw your attention to the fix for RT101579 which has caught a few people out recently. If you are upgrading from a much older version please read the Changes file as there have been a number of changes in behaviour in the last year.

1.52 2015-04-15

   [MISCELLANEOUS]

   Changes to the test suite to make it run better with Postgres thanks
   to Greg Sabino Mullane.

1.51_4 2015-01-18

   [BUG FIXES]

   Numerous errors in the test suite (with SQLite ODBC driver) mostly down to not
   creating the test table first.

   [MISCELLANEOUS]

   Try and make the test suite run ok for SQLite ODBC driver so I can use it
   in travis-ci.

1.51_3 2015-01-17

   [BUG FIXES]

   RT101579 - using bound input parameters for numeric columns (e.g.,
   SQL_NUMERIC) only works the first time and will quite likely fail
   with "string data, right truncation" on the second and subsequent
   calls to execute. Thanks to Laura Cox for finding.

1.51_2 2014-11-19

   [BUG FIXES]

   The table_info method (ANSI version only) was incorrectly passing
   the table name for the type argument. I think this bug was
   introduced last year.

1.51_1 2014-11-14

   [BUG FIXES]

   RT100186 - handle VARBINARY(MAX) parameters with SQL Server native
   client. Identify "libmsodbcsql*" as the MS ODBC Driver for Linux as
   there are some specific workarounds for MS Native Client ODBC driver.
