Hi,

JayBird 1.5.5 is released. This release contains following fixes:

2004-12-04 fixed NPE when error happens during
reconnecting
2004-12-04 allowed calling commit/rollback in Oracle mode
2004-11-24 added setBlob() method for BLOB SUB_TYPE 1
fields
2004-11-24 fixed the issue with calendar in
PreparedStatement.setTime(Time, Calendar)
method
2004-11-21 added fix for "trying to reopen an open cursor" in
type 2 driver
2004-11-20 improved memory usage within transaction
2004-10-25 fixed a bug in write(byte[], int, int) method in
FBBlob.java when passed array was bigger than
blob buffer size
2004-10-24 added keepStatements parameter
2004-10-24 fixed a bug in AbstractCallableStatement where
not all params were marked as set

Steven Jardine has adapted the build system for JDK 5.0, but I have
committed his changes only to HEAD. Therefore there is no release of JayBird
1.5.5 for JDK 5.0. If there is reasonable public interest, I will port
changes to Branch_1_5 and release a version for JDK 5.0.

Bill Oliver has sent me a compiled binary of libjaybird.so for 64-bit
Solaris. This file is relatively big (1.6 MB), therefore I didn't include it
into the release package. I will make it available for download on
SourceForge.net soon. Unfortunately, our build_native.xml does not work for
Solaris, and Bill sent me his own build script.

Also, if no critical bug is discovered, that is the last point release of
JayBird 1.5.x. Next version is 1.6 and will contain support of Services API
(backup/restore, user management, statistics, etc).
