NEWS
mxODBC 3.0.4 is a patch-level release and includes the following
updates:
* Fixed Mac OS X Intel builds:
The Mac OS X builds for 3.0.3 had a problem finding the installed
iODBC administrator libraries on Intel Macs. This problem has now
been resolved.
Note: If you are having trouble finding the ODBC administrator on
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), this is because the initial release
of 10.6 did not include the administrator GUI. You can download the
update with the ODBC administrator from the Apple support
site:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/ODBC_Administrator_Tool_for_Mac_OS_X
Since mxODBC for Mac OS X is currently only available for 32-bit
PPC and Intel platforms, be sure to use the Python.org 32-bit Mac
OS X installer for installing Python and 32-bit ODBC drivers on
Snow Leopard.
* Enhanced support detecting platform mismatches:
We have added better support for detecting mismatches between the
downloaded prebuilt archive and the installation target
configuration to the prebuilt archive installers.
The setup.py script now prints an error message explaining the
mismatch rather then trying to rebuild the extension.
For the full set of changes please check the mxODBC change log:
