## 5.4.0-preview - 2018-09-24
Updated PECL release packages. Here is the list of updates:
### Added
- Added support for PHP 7.3.0 RC 1
- Added support for Azure AD Access Token (in Linux / macOS this requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server) and [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) 2.3.6+)
- Feature Request [#842](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/842) - new PDO_STMT_OPTION_FETCHES_DATETIME_TYPE flag for pdo_sqlsrv to return datetime as objects
- Feature Request [#844](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/844) - add ReturnDatesAsStrings option to statement level for sqlsrv
- Compatible with [ODBC Driver 17.3 CTP](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlnativeclient/2018/09/24/odbc-driver-17-3-preview-for-sql-server-released/)
### Removed
- Dropped support for Ubuntu 17.10
- Dropped support for PHP 7.0 - [Version 5.3](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/php/system-requirements-for-the-php-sql-driver?view=sql-server-2017) is the last to support PHP 7.0.
### Fixed
- Issue [#434](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/434) - To avoid the pitfall that could result in a crash, before freeing stmt in the destructor check if its dbh driver data is NULL
- Pull Request [#836](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/836) - Modified the config files to enable Spectre Mitigations (use /Qspectre switch) for PHP 7.2
- Pull Request [#833](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/833) - Streamlined the error handling to remove a potential cause of crash
### Limitations
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
- In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the first connection. Attempting to set the locale after connecting will not work
- Always Encrypted requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server)
- Only Windows Certificate Store and Azure Key Vault are supported. Custom Keystores are not yet supported
- Issue [#716](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/716) - With Always Encrypted enabled, named parameters in subqueries are not supported
- [Always Encrypted limitations](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/connect/php/using-always-encrypted-php-drivers#limitations-of-the-php-drivers-when-using-always-encrypted)
### Known Issues
- Connection pooling on Linux or macOS is not recommended with [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) < 2.3.7
- When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
- unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostic information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
- due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams as a workaround. See the examples [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#pooling)
- With ColumnEncryption enabled, calling stored procedures with XML parameters does not work (Issue [#674](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/674))
- With ColumnEncryption enabled, fetching varbinary(max), varchar(max) or nvarchar(max) may fail with [ODBC Driver 17.3 CTP](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/sqlnativeclient/2018/09/24/odbc-driver-17-3-preview-for-sql-server-released/)

**Welcome to the Microsoft Drivers for PHP for Microsoft SQL Server**
The Microsoft Drivers for PHP for Microsoft SQL Server are PHP extensions that allow for the reading and writing of SQL Server data from within PHP scripts. The SQLSRV extension provides a procedural interface while the PDO_SQLSRV extension implements PHP Data Objects (PDO) for accessing data in all editions of SQL Server 2008 R2 and later (including Azure SQL DB). These drivers rely on the [Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017) to handle the low-level communication with SQL Server.

- If using a Web server such as Internet Information Services (IIS) or Apache, it must be configured to run PHP

If you choose to build the drivers, you must be able to build PHP 7 without including these extensions. For help building PHP on Windows, see the [official PHP website][phpbuild]. For details on compiling the drivers, see the [documentation](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/tree/dev/buildscripts#windows) -- an example buildscript is provided, but you can also compile the drivers manually.
To load the drivers, make sure that the driver is in your PHP extension directory and enable it in your PHP installation's php.ini file by adding `extension=php_sqlsrv.dll` and/or `extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv.dll` to it. If necessary, specify the extension directory using `extension_dir`, for example: `extension_dir = "C:\PHP\ext"`. Note that the precompiled binaries have different names -- substitute accordingly in php.ini. For more details on loading the drivers, see [Loading the PHP SQL Driver](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/php/loading-the-php-sql-driver) on Microsoft Docs.
