For a list of supported platform versions, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. * [MPH-16341] Updated FIPS support You can now enable FIPS support by downloading a separate FIPS package available for assistance. For more information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. * [MPH-17031] Database schema The are no changes to the database schema. No schemas have been added, modified, or decommissioned. Known issues The following are known issues that you may encounter due to limitations in the data source, the connector, or an application. * Concurrent connection limitations can affect query multi-threading. When using the connector with multiples threads, be aware that data source servers may have limitations on concurrent connections. Exceeding these data source restrictions may result in unexpected behavior. Workflow Changes ============================================================= The following changes may disrupt established workflows for the connector. 1.7.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * [MPH-16257] Removed support for multiple operating systems Beginning with this release, the connector no longer supports the following operating systems: - Windows Server 2012r2 - macOS 10.15 - CentOS 7 - Debian 9 and 10 - RHEL 7 For a list of supported operating systems, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. 1.7.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Removed Visual Studio 2015 support Beginning with this release, the connector no longer supports Visual Studio 2015. For information about the supported Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio versions, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. * Removed support for Windows operating systems Beginning with this release, the connector no longer supports the following operating systems: - Windows 8.1 - Windows server 2008 R2 SP1 For a list of supported operating systems, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. 1.7.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Updated UseProxy default value The default value for UseProxy is now Disabled (0). Previously, the default value was Enabled (1). For more information, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. 1.6.40 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * Removed support for OS platforms Beginning with this release, the connector no longer supports the following OS platforms: - Windows 7 SP1 - Windows Server 2008 R2 For a list of supported OS versions, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. * Removed support for Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2013 Beginning with this release, the connector no longer supports this version of the dependency and requires Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 instead. For information about the supported Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio versions, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. 1.5.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Upgraded API Support The Simba Zoho ODBC Driver now supports Zoho API version 2.0, for which the only supported Host value is "www.zohoapis.com". This change in the Host value may cause existing connection strings to stop working. To resolve this, do not provide any value for the Host property in your connection. The driver has been updated to use "www.zohoapis.com" as the default value for the Host connection property. 1.5.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ * 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.
