The next release will be 2.1.0 which doesn’t support Oracle8 (8.0)
and Oracle 8i (8.1) anymore.

New Features
-
Support Rubinius.
I just now found that temporary LOBs causes SEGV when they are GCed
on
rubinius 1.2.3. It works fine on the latest rubinius in github. -
OraNumber#has_decimal_part? -> boolean
OraNumber(10).has_decimal_part? # => false
OraNumber(10.1).has_decimal_part? # => true -
Limitted support for OraNumber’s positive and negative infinity.
They are converted to ‘~’ and ‘-~’ respectively as described in
URL:http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/infinity.htm. -
OCI8.properties is added to control ruby-oci8 behaviour.
It supports :bind_string_as_nchar only for now. -
OCI8.properties[:bind_string_as_nchar] is added.
You need to set “OCI8.properties[:bind_string_as_nchar] = true”
if the database character set is not UTF-8 and NCHAR/NVARCHAR2
columns
contain characters which cannot be converted to the database
character set.
