Version 1.32 - 2013-02-27 (EC)
------------
	+ There is a major bug (SPR 7089) regarding handling of bool8,
	  int8, and dstring types: the DAL_C_lib_wrap.c functions ptrset
	  and ptrvalue assumed that pointers to all of these types (which
	  are defined in machine_specific_types.h from the DAL as char)
	  should be handled as NULL-terminated strings. This would lead to
	  sporadic invalid memory writes when, for example, setting values
	  in an int8 column. This file is automatically generated by a
	  very old version of swig using a now deprecated pointer.i
	  library, so it was decided to edit DAL_C_lib_wrap.c directly.
	+ DAL_C_lib.c: the "char" type is now handled as an array of
	  1-byte values by ptrset and ptrvalue to fix the bool8 and int8
	  cases.  A new type "dstringPtr" can now be specified by the
	  caller (along with a length argument) to correctly handle the
	  dstring case.
	+ utils.pm and ptr_manipulator.pm have been altered to handle
	  the passing of the type and length arguments to DAL_C_lib.c,
	  and to ensure that the length of a string value does not exceed
	  that of the cell into which it will be inserted. When reading
	  a cell, precisely the cell width number of characters is read.
	+ string_column.t, the test script for writing/reading string data
	  to a column was updated to use multiple characters
