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

Windows x86 binary gem supports ruby 1.8, 1.9, 2.0.0 and 2.1.0.
Windows x64 binary gem supports ruby 2.0.0 and 2.1.0.

New Features

Support ruby 2.1.0

Support cygwin x86_64

OCI8#describe_synonym and OCI8#describe_any accept ‘PUBLIC.XXX’ as a

public synonym name.

Fixed Issues

  • fix wrong return valus of OCI8::Metadata::Synonym#schema_name
    and #translated_name for synonyms with a database link but
    without schema_name.

  • fix ruby version checking in binary gem. Gem::ruby_version of
    ruby 2.0.0p195 is 2.0.0.195, which doesn’t match ‘= 2.0.0’.

    (github issue #36 reported by sodonnel)

  • fix SEGV when metadata are accessed after the session is
    disconnected.

  • fix undefined method ‘char_used?’ when
    OCI8::Metadata::Argument#inspect
    is called.

  • fix tests in an environment where the data size of “CAST(‘1’ AS
    CHAR(1
    char))”
    is wrong.

  • suppress warnings “MiniTest::Unit::TestCase is now Minitest::Test”
    when minitest gem is installed.

  • fix SEGV when oci8lib.so is compiled by mingw64 without
    runtime-check
    option.
    Note that binary gems are compiled with runtime-check to check
    available Oracle
    client features at runtime.

  • fix SEGV when one connection is used by more than two threads and
    temporary
    lobs are freed by GC.
