MDB Tools 0.9.0 is the first major release of MDB Tools in seven years. There have been hundreds of fixes and improvements since the last stable release, with major changes including:
- Support for multiple handles opened by multiple threads
- In-memory database API
- Large file support on 32-bit systems
- Support for files created with Access 2013 and Access 2016
- GLib is now optional (configure with
--disable-glib) - Improved ODBC compliance
- Continuous integration with Travis and AppVeyor
- Moved gmdb2 to its own project
- New
mdb-queriestool
Many crashes have been fixed with improved testing and bounds checking. There are slight, but breaking, API changes since 0.7.1. Most programs can be recompiled with only a couple of modifications. There are also ABI changes that necessitate a bump to the dynamic library version. See the NEWS file for more detail on the technical changes, and #162 for a discussion of the recent organizational changes that made this release possible.
