[ANNOUNCE] New Impala ODBC and JDBC Drivers Released

[#1]

We are pleased to announce the release of Impala ODBC v2.5.40 and Impala JDBC v2.5.41.  The release has the following fixes and enhancements:

Impala ODBC 2.5.40

Enhancements and New Features in Impala ODBC 2.5.40

• The drivers now supports Impala versions 1.0.1 through 2.9.
• You can now set configurations options so that they apply to every connection that uses the driver. Before, most configuration options had to be set individually for each connection.
• The DelegationUIDCase property has been renamed. It is now called DelegationUserIDCase.
• The driver now automatically canonicalizes the server SPN when using Active Directory Kerberos.

Resolved Issues in Impala ODBC 2.5.40

• On macOS, the driver sometimes terminates unexpectedly when authenticating the connection through Kerberos.
• Driver installation failing on Linux has been resolved. The issue occurred because the RPM file used an incorrect path for the installation directory.
• If a query contains a scalar subquery, the driver returns an error and fails to execute the query.
