PHP Firebird driver 6.1.1-RC.2 is released . Please test thoroughly and report any issues.

Changes since v6.1.1-RC.1 :

• New functions ibase_get_client_major_version(), ibase_get_client_minor_version()
• Addressed issues: #22, #78, #88, #91, #92, #95, #96

Possible breaking changes:

• ibase_close() now closes connection instantly instead of decreasing refcount (see more #22)
• fetching TIME fields with IBASE_UNIXTIME flag now returns time as string instead of negative values

PHP Firebird driver 6.1.1-RC.1 is released , Please test thoroughly and report any issues

Changes since v6.1.1-RC.0 :

• New function ibase_get_client_version()
• Don’t depend on fb_get_master_interface() and fb_get_statement_interface() at compile time. Rather dynamically check if fbclient has them.
• Bunch of smaller fixes

Firebirust v0.5.3 is released with a few changes :

This release adds inspectable column metadata to statements, tightens and cleans up several internal APIs, expands tests

Highlights

• Add column inspection API on Statement and StatementAsync:
• column_count()
• column_names() -> Vec<&str>
• column_metadata(col: usize) -> Option<(sqltype, sqlscale, sqlsubtype, sqllen, null_ok, fieldname, relname, ownname)>
• Improved test coverage — sync and async tests now assert column count, names, and metadata.
• Internal refactor:
• SQL type constants promoted to crate root.
• Many protocol/constants now have crate-level visibility (pub(crate)).
• XSQLVar made crate-private (pub(crate)); parsing now uses utils:: helpers.
