Hi,

Sorry, too late release.
I released ruby-oci8 0.1.9 at last. (0.1.8 is skipped. :slight_smile:
From next version, ruby-oci8 won't support ruby 1.6.x and Oracle 8.0.x.

What's new:

1. change the default bindtype for NUMBER without its scale and precisiion
   from Fixnum to Float.
   If you want to change it, use 'OCI8::Cursor.select_number_as='.
   (This problem is reported by William Lawson, Dmitry Maksyoma and Andreas Habel.)

2. add 'OCI8::Cursor#fetch_hash'. fetch an array as Hash.
   (contributed by Jason Sweat)

3. don't raise an error when OCI_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.
   (suggested by Kenji Nishishiro)

4. support Oracle Instant Installer.
   (suggested by Eustaquio Rangel de Oliveira Jr.)

5. fix to compile for Oracle 8.1.7 on Linux.
