Lars Doelle has announced that he has completed integration of the unixODBC DriverManager into the KDE desktop. This integration includes supporting libs such as lst, ini, and odbcinst.
The primary source for the unixODBC DriverManager remains the unixODBC project but the source will be mirrored in KDE from time-to-time.
The inclusion of the unixODBC DriverManager in KDE will allow KDE application developers to take advantage of ODBC in their programs without concern about its availibility.

much improved mapping 3.x to 2.x in DM
a number of 'minor' fixs/enhancents to DM
more enhancements for StarOffice users

More thanks to Nick for doing such great work for us to enjoy. Also; thanks to Manush for his suggestions.

Contains fixs to help in working with StarOffice. We still recommend StarOffice 5.0 users upgrade to StarOffice 5.1 because 5.1 works much better with ODBC.

This new DM needs more work, such as in the logging, but is a big improvement over the previous DM. For example; this new DM manages DM state and attempts to do some function mapping.

Many thanks to Nick Gorham!

Two developers are currently working on a new DM for unixODBC. This new DM will be much more feature filled. The target date for the first release of this new DM is early May.99.

No changes to the DM except that it uses newer or updated components.

We have released the LinuxODBC Driver Manager as part of LinuxODBC Alpha. Check it out and let us know what is important to you as we move LinuxODBC toward Release 1.

LinuxODBC is currently evaluating/comparing the iODBC Driver Manager with the LinuxODBC Driver Manager. We know that we have been back and forth on this one. We will release whichever is best based upon technical issues and our ability to ensure that the Driver Manager is the best Driver Manager for Linux.
