• pdo_sqlsrv 5.1.1preview
  [Fixed] - PDO::quote with string containing ASCII NUL character (Issue [#538]( https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/538)) - Appropriate error message is returned when calling nextRowset() or sqlsrv_next_result() on an empty result set (issue [#507 ](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/507)) - Decimal types with no decimals are correctly handled when AE is enabled (PR [#544](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/544)) - Search for installed ODBC drivers in Linux/macOS first before attempting to connect using the default ODBC driver - BIGINT as an output param no longer results in value out of range exception when the returned value is larger than a maximum integer ([PR #567](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/567)) [Limitations] - Always Encrypted functionalities are only supported using [MSODBC 17 preview](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/tree/dev/ODBC%2017%20binaries%20preview) - ODBC binaries for macOS available upon request - MSODBC 17 preview msodbcsql.msi only works for Windows10 - [Always Encrypted limitations](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#aelimitation) - When using sqlsrv_query with Always Encrypted feature, SQL type has to be specified for each input (see [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#aebindparam)) - No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type [Known Issues] - Connection pooling on Linux doesn't work properly when using the MSODBC17 preview - When pooling is enabled in Linux or MAC - unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and MAC) 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.
