=========================================================


New Features
------------

No new features introduced since the previous version.


Bug Fixes
---------

Bug fixes included since the previous version:

1.  A problem occurred because of a change in the behaviour of the
    SysUtils.TTimeStamp in Delphi 6.  When trying to insert a null TDateTime
    field with the TOEDataSet and descendant components, the following exception
    was raised: "0.0 is not a valid timestamp".
2.  Behaviour problems with the TOEDateTime control.  When for example clicking
    on the checkbox, the attached TDataSet did not always go into Edit mode.
3.  A buffer overflow error which occurred when working with memo parameters in
    the TOEDataSet.  When trying to expand an existing memory stream, the
    following exception was raised: "Out of memory while expanding memory
    stream".
4.  A problem some of the non-mainstream ODBC drivers have in determining the
    number of columns in a result set.  The SQLNumResultCols ODBC function is
    now used instead of the alternative SQLColAttribute function.
