There were so many misunderstandings and confusions about the version
numbers. I suggest rewriting the version number (in psqlodbc.h and
psqlodbc.rc) after each submitted patch for each submitter. As I can see
in the CVS, last 6 months the source was modified by Peter, Thomas, Tom
and Bruce. My idea is to change the version number to 7.0.3.1 or 7.1.0.0
if you experience that the driver works with 7.1devel.
But indeed, checking the CVS, I found 6.40.0.9 and Byron's latest compiled
version was 6.50.0.0. I am afraid Byron didn't submitted his modifications
to the CVS... However, I don't think he changed anything except the
version number. But I'm not sure.
Comments?

Sounds sensible. I suspect that the non-Windows programmers might need
reminding to update psqlodbc.rc though.

Those version numbers make no sense against the PostgreSQL versions, so
we have just left them alone. Why are there multiple versions floating
around?

Is it possible to autogenerate the version numbers from PostgreSQL source
configuration? I think the reason why the WinODBC driver has a separate
version number is that it can be compiled directly using the
src/interfaces/odbc/ directory only, so if someone wants to compile the
DLL only, he/she can do it. By the way, if we support this (we must, of
course), autogenerating version numbers doesn't seem to make sense, it
must be set "by hand".
About multiple versions: I think Byron forgot to put his changes into the
CVS. Byron?

Since the cvs repository is now the "truth copy" of the code, the
standalone tarballs could be generated by a build process in
src/interfaces/odbc which explicitly finds and copies the current pgsql
version info. Once the tarball is built, then the version info travels
with the tarball. I'm not sure what the state of the standalone build is
at the moment; it used to work but I vaguely recall some discussion that
it was evil...

Hmm, last time I compiled the DLL was in May. That time the source could
be reached both at Byron's site and at Postgres' mirrors as well (the same
(?) source). But Byron's source was <= 200k and the smallest Postgres
tarball is >= 2000k. I think the standalone build should work at the
moment because the Windows compilers only needed the src/interfaces/odbc
directory, no more (at least in May this was the state). So I suggest
autogenerating an odbc tarball beside the other ones.
On the other hand, the stuff in ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/ is
rather obsolete. At least some warnings should be put into it about this
fact.

Couldn't you point to the right place to download the stuff from, please.
Thank you, Mikhail.
