Forum: Ruby ruby-oci8 2.1.4

Ruby-oci8 2.1.4 is released. This is the Oracle module using OCI8 API.

 http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/

New Features
------------

### Fast Application Notification (FAN) support

Look at http://php.net/manual/en/oci8.connection.php to know what is 
FAN.
oci8.events in PHP corresponds to OCI8.properties[:events_mode] in 
ruby-oci8.

Note: You need to set OCI8.properties[:events_mode] after "require
'oci8'" and before
any methods which call Oracle OCI functions.

Fixed Issues
------------

-   fix SEGV when a temporary LOB is freed when OCILobRead returns
OCI_NEED_DATA.
    See: https://github.com/kubo/ruby-oci8/issues/20
    (reported by Edgars Beigarts)

-   use RUBY_VERSION instead of RbConfig::CONFIG['ruby_version'] to know 
the
    ruby ABI version. The latter may be changed by the configure option
    --with-ruby-version.

-   fix OCI8#describe_table not to follow synonyms until stack overflow.
    Now the recursive level is limited to 20.
