Release notes
Version 5.2.1preview
(devel)
|
[Added]
- Added support for Azure Key Vault for Always Encrypted for basic CRUD functionalities such that Always Encrypted feature is also available to Linux or macOS users
- Added support for macOS High Sierra (requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017))
[Fixed]
- Issue [#577](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/577) - Idle Connection Resiliency doesn't work with Column Encryption enabled connection
- Issue [#678](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/678) - Idle Connection Resiliency doesn't work with Connection Pooling bug
- Issue [#705](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/705) - AE - Retrieving a negative decimal value (edge case) as output parameter causes truncation
- Issue [#706](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/706) - AE - Cannot insert double with precision and scale (38, 38)
- Issue [#707](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/707) - AE - Fetching decimals / numerics as output parameters bound to PDO::PARAM_BOOL or PDO::PARAM_INT returns floats, not integers
- Issue [#735](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/735) - Extended the buffer size for PDO lastInsertId such that data types other than integers can be supported
[Limitations]
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
- In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the first connection. The subsequent locale setting will not work
- Always Encrypted feature, which requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017)
- only Windows Certificate Store and Azure Key Vault are supported
- Issue [#716](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/716) - With Always Encrypted feature enabled, Named Parameters in Sub Queries are not supported
- [Always Encrypted limitations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/php/using-always-encrypted-php-drivers?view=sql-server-2017#limitations-of-the-php-drivers-when-using-always-encrypted)
[Known Issues]
- Connection pooling on Linux or macOS not recommended with [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) < 2.3.6
- When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
- unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostics information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
- due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams as a workaround. See the examples [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#pooling)
- With ColumnEncryption enabled, calling stored procedure with XML parameter does not work (Issue [#674](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/674)) |
