+2.2.7 (2019-01-06)
+==================
+
+Incompatible Changes
+--------------------
+
+### `OCI8#long_read_len` and `OCI8#long_read_len=` do nothing.
+
+When `LONG`, `LONG RAW` or `XMLTYPE` data were fetched, the data were
+truncated at `OCI8#long_read_len`. The maximum size of data had
+been 4 gigabytes since this release.
+
+`OCI8#long_read_len` and `OCI8#long_read_len=` remain for code-compatibility
+but do nothing.
+
+Improvement
+-----------
+
+### The number of network round trips was reduced when LOB data are read.
+
+When LOB data are read, ruby-oci8 before 2.2.7 does the followings:
+
+1. Gets the size of the LOB.
+2. Allocate buffer to hold the data.
+3. Read the LOB contents.
+
+This requires two round trips.
+
+It now does the followings:
+
+1. Request the server to get LOB contents up to 4 gigabytes.
+2. Read the LOB contents and allocate buffer when the size is insufficient.
+3. If the total length of received data is less than 4 gigabytes, all data
+   are read. If not, go to the first step to read next 4 gigabytes.
+
+This requires only one round trip if the size is less than 4 gigabytes.
+
+### Use array fetching instead of prefetching when LOB columns are in queries 
+
+When LOB columns are in queries, prefetching doesn't seem to work. Rows
+are fetched one by one according to data captured by network packet sniffer.
+So array fetching is used instead of prefetching to reduce the number of
+network round trips.
+
+### Add error diagnostics when `'require "oci8"'` fails on Windows.
+
+When `'require "oci8"'` fails with "OCI.DLL: 126(The specified module could not be found.)"
+on Windows, the cause is not always that OCI.DLL is not found. It may
+be incorrect architecture, missing dependent DLLs and so on.
+Ruby-oci8 checks PATH and DLL files when the error is raised and change
+the error message to reasonable one as possible.
+
+2.2.6.1 (2018-09-16)
+====================
+
+Fixed issue
+-----------
+Fix "No shared library is found to hook." on macOS.
+(rsim/oracle-enhanced#1768)
+
+2.2.6 (2018-08-22)
+==================
+
+This release fixed issues about Oracle 18c except one.
+
+Fixed issue
+-----------
+
+### Setting some properties failed with Oracle 18c client
+
+Setting `OCI8::properties[:tcp_keepalive_time]` or `OCI8::properties[:cancel_read_at_exit]`
+failed with the error message "No shared library is found to hook" when Oracle
+client version is 18c.
+(rsim/oracle-enhanced#1754)
+
+### Fix `OCI8#oracle_server_version` to get full version of Oracle 18c
+
+`OCI8#oracle_server_version` returned Oracle version number whose
+number components after the first dot are zeros such as '18.0.0.0.0'
+even when the server version is `18.3.0.0.0`. This issue was fixed by
+using a new OCI function. However the function is available since
+Oracle 18c client. So when the Oracle client version is 12c or earlier
+and the Oracle server version is 18c or later, it cannot get the *full*
+Oracle version number.
+
+### Fix tests when the Oracle server version is 18c.
+
+### LOB#sync, LOB#sync= and LOB#flush do nothing now.
+
+They have not worked by mistake from the beginning because incorrect
+arguments has been passed to OCILobOpen(). Moreover it crashed Oracle
+18c server-side processes and caused "ORA-03113: end-of-file on
+communication channel."
+(github issue #198)
+
+### `unsupported typecode timestamp` when timestamp with time zone is in object type attributes.
+
+(github issue #185)
+
+2.2.5.1 (2017-12-27)
+====================
+
+No updates except tests. The version number was changed just to release
+binary gems for ruby 2.5 on Windows.
+
+### Suppress warnings in tests with ruby 2.5
+
+(github issue #180, #181)
+
+2.2.5 (2017-10-21)
+==================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+### Try to load $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so also when runtime api check is enabled on Unix.
+
+When ruby-oci8 is configured with `--with-runtime-check`, it loads Oracle client
+library and checks available functions in the library at runtime. This feature was
+added to release Windows binary gems which cannot know Oracle version at compile time.
+This is available also on Unix. However it tries to load libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH only.
+From this version, it tries to load $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libclntsh.so also.
+
+### Check error reasons when loading failed with 'The specified module could not be found' on Windows.
+
+The error messages are same when OCI.DLL isn't found and when Visual
+C++ runtime library depended on by OCI.DLL isn't found. From this
+version, ruby-oci8 distinguishes the difference and prints other message
+for the latter case.
+
+Fixed issue
+-----------
+
+### Fix segmentation fault when Oracle client library is prelinked.
+
+When Oracle instant client rpm package is used on RHEL5 or RHEL6,
+Oracle client library is modified by [prelink][] and ruby-oci8 crashed
+with segmentation fault. This is not due to Oracle, but due to
+plthook used by ruby-oci8. The plthook was fixed to work with
+prelinked libraries.
+(github issue #172)
+
+[prelink]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelink#Linux
+
+### Fix not to hide the original error message of LoadError on recent cygwin.
+
+Ruby-oci8 tries to check error messages when `require 'oci8lib_xxx.so` fails.
+However the message was hidden by an exception while checking on cygwin.
+(github issue #176)
+
+### Don't call unnecessary __paramGet(i) when a cursor is executed more than once.
+
+pointed by OMOTO Kenji
+(github issue #171)
+
+### Suppress warning: method redefined; discarding old initialize.
+
+(github issue #168)
+
+Other Changes
+-------------
+
+### Add document about the mapping between Oracle number types and Ruby classes.
+
+See {file:docs/number-type-mapping.md Number Type Mapping between Oracle and Ruby}.
+(github issue #173)
+
+2.2.4.1 (2017-06-17)
+====================
+
+Fixed issue
+-----------
+
+### Fix invalid function calls when TCP keepalive time parameter is set on Windows x86
+
+When TCP keepalive time parameter is set, The win32 API `setsockopt` was hooked
+with incorrect calling convention on Windows x86. As far as I checked it doesn't
+cause bad effects. But it is by chance. If the code in `oci.dll` is optimized
+differently, it may cause unexpected behavior.
+
+### Fix compilation errors in 2.2.4 on cygwin
+
+2.2.4 (2017-06-11)
+==================
+
+New Features
+------------
+
+### TCP keepalive parameters
+
+`tcp_keepalive` and `tcp_keepalive_time` parameters were added.
+This may fix hanging caused by a firewall after a long period of inactivity
+
+See {file:docs/hanging-after-inactivity.md this document} for more detail.
+
+### Workaround of function interposition on Linux and macOS
+
+When both `oci8` and `pg` are required and LDAP authentication is used,
+it may trigger segmentation faults or unexpected behaviours.
+This issue was fixed by forcibly modified PLT (Procedure Linkage Table)
+entries in the Oracle client library.
+
+See {file:docs/ldap-auth-and-function-interposition.md this document} for more detail.
+
+Fixed Issues
+------------
+
+### Support RubyInstaller2 for Windows
+
+Fix for RubyInstaller2 for Windows as suggested [here](https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/wiki/For-gem-developers#dll-loading).
+
+### Fix for latest cygwin
+
+Use Win32::Registry instead of Win32API to compile ruby-oci8 on the latest cygwin.
+
+(contributed by tomasjura. [github issue #167](https://github.com/kubo/ruby-oci8/issues/167))
+
+### Removed too specific ruby version constraint in binary gems.
+

+### Add OCI8::Metadata::Boolean

+
+Fixed Issues
+------------
+
+The following two issues were introduced in ruby-oci8 2.2.0.
+
+### Fix handle leaks in OCI8#ping
