ruby-oci8 0.1.15 is released.  
This is a Oracle module using OCI8 API.

URL:[http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-oci8/)

What’s new:

- no new features. :-\<

- suppress memory usage when binding a placeholder which is already  
bound.

- fix potentially segmentation fault while exiting process.  
When exiting process, ruby’s objects are GCed with unexpectable  
order. If an OCIEnv instance was GCed in prior to OCIRowid objects,  
it caused segmentation fault.

- add a workaround code when setting $0.  
The following code made enviroment variables empty strings on  
Unix when using ruby 1.8.4, ruby-oci8 0.1.14 and Oracle 10.1.0.  
(Oracle 10.2.0 and ruby 1.8.2 doesn’t have this problem.)

- fix registry search path on compilation.  
(OracleXE Windows version)
