+  NOTES from upstream Changes file:
+
+  [CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR]
+
+  * As I warned literally years ago DBD::ODBC's private function
+    DescribeCol has been removed. You can use DBI's statement attributes
+    like NAME, PRECISION etc, instead. All test code has been changed to
+    remove calls to DescribeCol and GetTypeInfo.
+
+  * DBD::ODBC allowed you to change the bound column type in bind_col
+    after the column was already bound. It now does not allow this
+    and issues a warning.
+
+  * You can nolonger override the bound column type (except with
+    SQL_NUMERIC and SQL_DOUBLE). All columns are now bound as either
+    SQL_C_LONG (integer columns) or SQL_C_[W]CHAR (all other columns).
+    If you are calling bind_col with a TYPE => xxx it most likely did
+    not do what you expected and you should examine it carefully with a
+    view to removing it altogether. As a result you no longer have to
+    override the bind type for MS SQL Server XML columns - these will be
+    bound as SQL_C_CHAR or SQL_C_WCHAR depending on whether Unicode is
+    enabled.
+
+  * Integer columns are now bound as SQL_C_LONGs and not as before,
+    SQL_C_CHAR. This should not matter to you but if you were adding 0
+    to your integer columns retrieved to make them behave like integers
+    you should nolonger need to do it.
