    • Product Compatibility Guide: Provides the latest data source and platform support information. 
    • Fixes: Describes the issues resolved since general availability.  

    Version 5.1.4

      ENHANCEMENTS
      • The driver has been enhanced to include timestamp in the Spy and JDBC packet
        logs by default. If required, you can disable the timestamp logging by
        specifying the following at connection: For Spy logs, set
        spyAttributes=(log=(file)Spy.log;timestamp=no) and for JDBC packet logs,
        set ddtdbg.ProtocolTraceShowTime=false.
      • Interactive SQL for JDBC (JDBCISQL) is now installed with the product. JDBCISQL is a command-line interface that supports connecting your driver to a data source, executing SQL statements and retrieving results in a terminal. This tool provides a method to quickly test your drivers in an environment that does not support GUIs.*
      • The CryptoProtocolVersion connection property has been added to the driver. This property can be used to avoid vulnerabilities associated with SSLv3 and SSLv2, including the POODLE vulnerability. Refer to CryptoProtocolVersion for details.
      • Support for result set holdability has been added to the driver.
      CHANGED BEHAVIOR
      • The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE. Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for the most secure version of a JRE to be used.*
        Note: This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide.

      • The driver has been enhanced to support Sybase Extended Password Encryption, which uses the asymmetrical key type, instead of the symmetrical key type. This provides stronger password encryption for the secure transmission of public key passwords over networks.
      • Added the RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean connection property. Note that the
        driver no longer registers the Statement Pool Monitor as a JMX MBean by default.
        You must set RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean to true to register the Statement Pool Monitor and manage statement pooling with standard JMX API calls. Refer to RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean for details.*

      Version 5.1.1

        ENHANCEMENTS
        • Enhanced to throw warning when EnableBulkLoad fails
        • Enhanced AuthenticationMethod connection property to allow for the driver to
          send a user ID in clear text and an encrypted password to the server for
          authentication.
