Severity:
 PE70-0406010: BUG FIX

Patch PE70-0406010
------------------

Platforms: All

* This patch fixes a compatibility problem with the image3k DBINFO
  mode 301 (#2300).

  The image3k library internally makes use of the Eloquence DBINFO 
  mode 303 to implement DBINFO mode 301. However the Eloquence 
  DBINFO mode 303 did not return sort item information when a 
  master set was provided as qualifier.
  The Eloquence client library was changed to return the sort item 
  in the related detail set when a master set is passed as qualifier.

* Changed internal library revision to "B.07.00.04"



Patch PE70-0305230
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixes a regression in idb_logon()

* Changed internal library revision to "B.07.00.03"


Patch PE70-0305210
------------------

Platforms: All

* The EQ_DBUSER and EQ_DBPASSWORD environment variables did
  not work as expected with the TurboIMAGE compatibility (#1970).

  The EQ_DBUSER and EQ_DBPASSWORD environment variables may be
  used to specify the default user and password to access the
  database. However they were only considered when the Eloqunce
  idb_logon() API function was called.
  With the image3k library the idb_logon() API function is only
  called when a user and password is specified and consequently
  the defaults are ignored.

  The Eloquence database client library has been modified to use
  the default user and password, independendly if the idb_logon()
  API function is called.

* The idb_logon() function has been modified to recognize empty
  user and password (zero character string) as no password (#1970).

* Eloquence may call malloc to allocate zero bytes (#1918)
  While this is not a problem it may cause problems with code
  verification tools, such as Electric Fence.

* Changed internal library revision to "B.07.00.02"
