-  - Support for PHP 8.5
-  - Fix garbage in column names on IBM i
-  - Fix binding empty strings with WVARCHAR
+  - Try to use out_length for bound character columns when smaller than strlen.
+    This is to work around an issue on IBM i where SQL/CLI returns garbage after out_length.
+    Note that strlen is still used to keep existing behaviour with nulls in strings;
+    binary bound columns are also not affected.
