Release 1.1.7.20200414

• Fixed parsing of escape sequences (#283, #284)
• Made ICU the default Unicode conversion back end in Unix builds (#278)
  • Warning 1 (for Unix only): only the system ICU packages are supported right now, which means, that 1) you will need to make sure that the corresponding run-time dependency is installed in your system, 2) system ICU may bring some other run-time dependencies and load additional (system) shared libraries like libstdc++.so and others. If this is not acceptable, you will need to build the driver with ICU disabled, using -DCH_ODBC_USE_ICU=OFF cmake switch.
  • Warning 2 (for Unix only): the pre-built Linux package listed below is built on CentOS 7, and it depends on the default system version of ICU, which is ICU 50. If you plan to use it in any other Linux distribution, you have to make sure, that this exact version of ICU is available at run-time there. Otherwise, you will need to build the driver manually for your system so that it links with its ICU version. The process is trivial, follow the instructions at "Building from sources" section from README.md.
