============================================================================== Simba MariaDB ODBC Data Connector Release Notes ============================================================================== The release notes provide details of enhancements, features, known issues, and workflow changes in Simba MariaDB ODBC Connector 1.1.15.3018, as well as the version history. This version of the driver supports the following data source versions and platforms: * Data source versions 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 * Windows 11, 2019, or 2016 * macOS 15 (ARM and Intel), macos 26 ARM * Linux (x86_64 and ARM64): RHEL 8/10, SLES 15, Debian 13, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 1.1.18.1018 ================================================================== Released 2025-12-26 Enhancements & New Features * [MYSQLO-924][MYSQLO-926][MYSQLO-957] Updated multiple operating systems support The connector now supports the following operating systems: - Debian 13 - macOS 15 (ARM and Intel), macos 26 ARM - RHEL 10 - Windows 11 - Windows Server 2025 - Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 * [MYSQLO-951] Updated third-party libraries The connector now uses the following third-party libraries: - Expat 2.7.1 (previously 2.6.3) - Openssl 3.0.16 (previously 3.0.15) Known Issues The following are known issues that you may encounter due to limitations in the data source, the connector, or an application. * [MYSQLO-540] If the input value of the ColumnSize parameter in a SQLBindParameter() function call is greater than 4294967295, the value is reduced to 4294967295. * Cursors are non-scrollable. The connector only supports forward-only cursors; it does not allow cursors to move backward through query results. This connector behavior is consistent with the behavior that is officially defined for MariaDB cursors, which are non-scrollable. * Local Socket/Pipe connections are not supported. The connector does not support named pipe or socket file connections. You must connect to the server using a TCP/IP connection. * Query bookmarks are not supported. The connector cannot create query bookmarks or retrieve information from existing bookmarks. * Positioned statements are not supported. The connector cannot execute statements on the rows from a result set. * External authentication plugins are not supported. The connector does not support the following authentication plugins: - PAM - Cleartext client-side - Socket peer-credential Instead, use the caching_sha2_password, native, SHA-265, or Windows native authentication plugins. * Connector only supports the utf8mb4 character set. Currently, the connector cannot use different character sets when working with data. * [MYSQLO-611] When using RHEL 8 with dynamic linking, and the cryptographic policy is set to default or higher, the connector returns an error for certificates with a key length of less than 2048. As a workaround, increase the key length or set the cryptographic policy to legacy. Workflow Changes ============================================================= The following changes may disrupt established workflows for the connector. 1.1.18.1018 ------------------------------------------------------------------ * [MYSQLO-945] Removed support for multiple operating systems Beginning with this release, the connector no longer supports the following operating systems: - CentOS 7 and 8 - Debian 9 - macOS 10.14, 10.15 and 11 arm - RHEL 7 - SLES 12 - Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 - Windows 10 - Windows Server 2012 1.1.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * [MYSQLO-750] Removed support for earlier versions of operating systems Beginning with this release, the connector no longer supports the following operating systems: - CentOS 6 - macOS 10.13 - Windows 8.1 For information about supported operating systems, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. * [MYSQLO-750] Removed support for native authentication Beginning with this release, the connector does not support native authentication. The connector now supports ed25519 authentication. For more information, see the MariaDB documentation: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/authentication-plugin-ed25519 1.0.18 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * [MYSQLO-515][MYSQLO-517] Removing support for earlier versions of operating systems Beginning with this release, the driver no longer supports the following operating systems: - Windows 7 - Windows Server 2008 - Windows Server 2008 R2 - macOS 10.12 "Sierra" - CentOS 6 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 - Debian 8 For information about supported operating systems, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. 1.0.13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * [MYSQLO-469] Removing support for Ubuntu 14.04 and SLES 11 Beginning with this release, the driver does not support Ubuntu 14.04 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11. 1.0.7 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Minimum TLS Version Beginning with this release, the driver requires a minimum version of TLS for encrypting the data store connection. By default, the driver requires TLS version 1.2. This requirement may cause existing DSNs and connection strings to stop working, if they are used to connect to data stores that use a TLS version earlier than 1.2. To resolve this, in your DSN or connection string, set the Minimum TLS option (the Min_TLS property) to the appropriate version of TLS for your server. For more information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide.
