- Now supported on AIX 7.2
- Now supported on Apple OSX 10.11

- Support for row size up to 1MB and Maximum Response Buffer Size up to 16MB

-
Allow support for multiple driver instances from 16.00 onward:
- Starting with ODBC 16.00, you can have multiple versions of the ODBC Driver installed on one machine.
- The default driver name has been changed from Teradata to Teradata Database ODBC Driver XX.YY, where XX.YY is the version of the ODBC Driver.
For instance, the default driver name for ODBC 16.10 is Teradata Database ODBC Driver 16.10.
This change in driver name will affect applications that have the old driver name Teradata hardcoded in their connection strings.
- The installation of the ODBC Driver will no longer automatically migrate DSNs. DSNs belonging to the older versions of the driver will not be converted to the newly installed version of the ODBC Driver.
- Support round-trip Unicode® character pass-through
