INTRODUCTION
The eGenix mxODBC Zope DA allows you to easily connect your Zope or
Plone CMS installation to just about any database backend on the
market today, giving you the reliability of the commercially supported
eGenix product mxODBC and the flexibility of the ODBC standard as
middle-tier architecture.
The mxODBC Zope Database Adapter is highly portable, just like Zope
itself and provides a high performance interface to all your ODBC data
sources, using a single well-supported interface on Windows, Linux,
Mac OS X, FreeBSD and other platforms.
This makes it ideal for deployment in ZEO Clusters and Zope hosting
environments where stability and high performance are a top priority,
establishing an excellent basis and scalable solution for your Plone
CMS.

NEWS
We are pleased to announce the new version 2.1.2 of our mxODBC
Zope/Plone Database Adapter product.
Compatibility Enhancements
--------------------------
* Added a work-around for a regression in Python 2.7.4 that results
in a segfault when exiting Zope/Plone after loading the mxODBC Zope
DA.
The regression will be fixed in Python 2.7.5, but we don't want to
expose our users to segfaults, so added a work-around.
See http://bugs.python.org/issue17703 for the bug ticket.
* Upgraded the underlying mxODBC library to version 3.2.3. Please see
the mxODBC 3.2.3 release announcement for additional details:
http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-3.2.3-GA.html
Driver Compatibility
--------------------
* Please also see the mxODBC Zope DA 2.1.1 announcement for an
important new feature which allows to dramatically increase the
fetch performance when working with MS SQL Server and IBM DB2
databases.
