    I have just released DBD::Sybase 1.05 to CPAN and to
    http://www.peppler.org/

    This version fixes a number of subtle bugs, and includes a few slight
    behavior changes - as usual it is recommended that you test your
    applications/scripts with this new version before putting it into
    production.

    >>From the CHANGES file:

    Release 1.05

            BEHAVIOR CHANGE - $dbh->{LongReadLen} must now be called
            before $dbh->prepare(). Previously you could call this after
            the $dbh->prepare() but before the $sth->execute().

            Install private statement handle methods for TEXT/IMAGE handling
            to avoid $h->func() calls, and update documentation.
            Implement experimental BLK API via prepare/execute loop.
            Change default "AutoCommit" off mode from explicit transactions
            to using the "chained" mode if it is available.
            Add $sth->syb_describe() call, taken from Sybase::CTlib's
            ct_describe().
            Add ISO8601 date/time format for output.
            Fix $sth->finish() behavior when syb_flush_finish is turned on.
            Changed do { } while($sth->{syb_more_results}); idiom to use
            redo instead.
            Better/more consistent handling of multiple sth on a single dbh,
            and new test file.

            Bugs Fixed:

            580 - Binding binary/varbinary values to placeholders sometimes
                  fails.
            575 - Fails three tests under Tru-64.
            577 - perl Makefile.PL fails if umask is 0.
            578 - Better warning for calling $dbh->{LongReadLen} if $dbh is busy.
            572 - Minor documentation update for bind_param().
