Enhancements

• The drivers using base version B0649 and later have been enhanced to include timestamp in the internal packet logs by default. If you want to disable the timestamp logging in packet logs, set PacketLoggingOptions=1. The internal packet logging is not enabled by default. To enable it, set EnablePacketLogging=1.*
• The Driver Manager for UNIX/Linux has been enhanced to support setting the Unicode encoding type for applications on a per connection basis. By passing a value for the SQL_ATTR_APP_UNICODE_TYPE attribute using SQLSetConnectAttr, your application can specify the encoding at connection. This allows your application to pass both UTF-8 and UTF-16 encoded strings with a single environment handle.
  The valid values for the SQL_ATTR_APP_UNICODE_TYPE attribute are SQL_DD_CP_UTF8 and SQL_DD_CP_UTF16. The default value is SQL_DD_CP_UTF8.
  This enhancement is available in build 07.16.0398 of the driver manager.
• The new NamedIDBehavior config option allows you to determine whether the Name attribute of NamedID fields is exposed in the relational map. This option can be used to avoid "poor performing query" errors by reducing the size of result sets. For details, refer to the product readme file.*
• The new Min Long Varchar Size connection option allows you to fetch SQL_LONGVARCHAR columns whose size is smaller than the minimum imposed by some third-party applications.
• The new Varchar Threshold connection option allows you to fetch columns that would otherwise exceed the upper limit of the SQL_VARCHAR type for some third-party applications. 

Changed Behavior

• The following Windows platforms have reached the end of their product lifecycle and are no longer supported by the driver*:
  • Windows 8.0 (versions 8.1 and higher are still supported)
  • Windows Vista (all versions)
  • Windows XP (all versions)
  • Windows Server 2003 (all versions)
