Announcing
----------
Release 1.3 of informixdb, a DB-API 1.0 compliant package for Informix:
  http://starship.python.net/crew/sturner/informixdb.html

This release fixes the 'fetch{one|many|all}' method output types and/or
values for several SQL types:

- FLOAT, SMALLFLOAT, DECIMAL and (for locales with trailing currency
symbols) MONEY mapped to Long instead of Float.
- MONEY (for locales with leading currency symbols) mapped to a NULL
pointer, possibly crashing the interpreter.
- DATE mapped to dbi.dbiDate (as it should), but always with a value of
-1.
- INT, SMALLINT and SERIAL mapped to Long instead of Int.
