ENHANCEMENTS

• The installer program has been enhanced to support Azul Zulu JRE 11. As a result of this change, the installer has ended support for some of the old operating systems. The installer supports the following operating systems after the enhancement:*
  • UNIX/Linux:
    • Any operating system on a machine using a JRE that is Java SE 8 or higher (LTS version), including Oracle JDK, OpenJDK, and IBM SDK (Java) distributions.
  • Windows:
    • Windows 8.1 or higher
    • Windows Server 2012 RC2 or higher
  Important: These changes do not affect the operating system requirements of the driver.
  
• The driver has been enhanced to use proxy server settings defined in the JVM system properties by default. If no proxy settings are defined in the connection string or data source, the driver will attempt to use the values of the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort JVM system properties to connect to the database.*
