Generally I don’t like to use the blog for update releases of CRT’s projects, but I think its a good thing to do on the first release of something or if there is a major change. ezRETS 2.1 is such a release.
The major feature of ezRETS 2.1 is official support for Mac OS X. You need to have 10.4.x aka Tiger. However, its a universal binary, so it doesn’t matter if you’re rolling it with Intel or PPC.
As a quick reminder, ezRETS is CRT’s ODBC Driver for RETS servers. It aims to provide read-only access to RETS servers via any application that can speak ODBC, such as Microsoft Office. It’s cross-platform existing under Windows and Linux. For more about it, visit ezRETS project web page.
Other changes include:
- COMPACT format is always used for queries, ezRETS now does the LOOKUP decoding instead of asking the server to do it. Thanks to Libor Viktorin for suggesting this.
- Fixed error in column size reporting for Lookups in SQLColumns as reported by Louis Gomez.
- Added default MaximumLengths for cases where the RETS server metadata didn’t specify one.
- When debug logging is turned off things should be slightly faster as log messages are not generated anyway.
- SQLCancel is now implemented
