The MonetDB team at CWI is pleased to announve a bug fix release for the MonetDB Clients package.

A number of bugs in the ODBC driver have been fixed: - fixes for the handling of UTF-8 encoded queries and query parameters; - fixes for dealing with wide characters.

There is also a fix for mclient: - the timer (-t/--time option) could overflow.

There are new Windows installers for the ODBC driver, and there are new RPMs for Fedora 8 and 9. All of this for both 32 and 64 bit architectures. There is also a new Super Source Ball.
