Ruby-oci8 2.0.3 and 1.0.7 are released. These are Oracle modules using  
OCI8 API.

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

Ruby-oci8 2.0.3 is stable from this release. Imcompatible changes will  
be done from now. An exception is made for object type support. Object  
type support has been unstable yet. It will be stable in ruby-oci8  
2.1.0.

Ruby-oci8 1.0.7 is a maintenance release. New realeases will not be  
added to ruby-oci8 1.0.

Note: Active record oracle adapter doesn’t work with 2.0.3.  
Use Active record oracle\_enhanced adapter instead.

What’s new in 2.0.3.

- Imcompatible Changes

- New Features

- Other specification changes

- Fixed installation issues.

What’s new in 1.0.7.

- change OCI8::LOB#write to accept an object which is not a String and  
doesn’t respond to ‘to\_str’ as IO#write does.  
(requested by Christopher J.)

- fix oraconf.rb for AIX instant clients.  
(reported by Kazuya Teramoto)

- fix oraconf.rb for ruby 1.8.5 with Oracle 8.x which needs some object  
files to link with.  
(reported by Jayson Cena)

I made a mistake.  
Incompatible changes will _not_ be done from now.
