What's new?

This release focused on support for Oracle Client 18 libraries, with
support added for call timeouts and SODA (Simple Oracle Document Access).

A number of smaller changes were also made to improve the experience of
using cx_Oracle. These include re-enabling the pool pinging functionality
for Oracle 12.2 and higher to handle classes of connection errors such as
resource profile limits; improved error messages when a feature requires a
particular version of Oracle Client libraries or Oracle Database; better
handling of objects when the connection that created them is closed; better
handling of connections when the pool that created them is destroyed; etc.
