While we are bitching about the ODBC driver distribution...

Frankly, there are other problems:

1.  Why does installing the database kernel also install the ODBC driver?  I
don't believe it used to always be this way.  You can often have file
locking issues (applications on same machine using driver).  Why not stick
with the unique ODBC download on the web site?
2.  The ODBC driver download on the web site always has the same filename.
the "Full version" is not encoded in the filename like it is for other SAPDB
downloads.  There is a chance that a caching server will deliver the old
one, and it is also confusing.

I also find it confusing to be certain which is newer - the unique download
file or the latest kernel.

Thanks.

This change wasn't accidentally made properly in our development
tracking system and was lacking in the release notes then, which
are generated from this system.

The missing note will be added soon.
