Version 7.1.6

Enhancements

• Some components of the driver are now compiled with a Visual Studio 2022 compiler for Windows platforms. As a result, you must have Microsoft Visual C/C++ runtime version 14.40.33810 or higher on your machine to run the driver.*
• The ICU library file that is installed with the product has been upgraded to version 74.1. As a part of this upgrade, the ICU library file name has changed from ivicu28.dll to ivicu.dll. Notes:
  • This upgrade is available starting in build 08.02.1072 of the ICU library file.
  • The ivicu27.dll file will continue to be included in the product package to support driver functionality.
• The trace library file name has been changed from ivtrc27.dll to ivtrc28.dll to have the same file name across all DataDirect for ODBC drivers. This change allows for faster release of security updates and a more consistent user experience.*
  Note: To support the trace library file name change, the following ICU library file has been added to the product package: ivicu28.dll.
• A Password Encryption Tool, called ddencpwd, is now included with the product package. It encrypts passwords for secure handling in connection strings and odbc.ini files. At connection, the driver decrypts these passwords and passes them to the data source as required. See Password Encryption Tool (UNIX/Linux only) for details.*

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.

  Notes:

  • This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide.
  • The installer program cannot remove the already installed JRE files from the install directory automatically. Remove them manually.
