PHP extension release notes for the captured versions (not a cumulative CVE coverage audit).

brotli 0.21.0
- add: built-in MIME type exclusion list for transparent output compression
- add: negation tokens (!) in brotli.output_compression_exclude_types
- add: phpinfo() improvements (bundled/external library, APCu serializer status)
- fix: memory leak when BrotliEncoderCompressStream() fails on PHP 7.4+
- fix: compiler warnings

imagick 3.8.1
- Fixes:
  * Fixed compiling against PHP 8.5
  * Fixed getImage(s)Blob return type

libsodium 2.0.23
- PHP 8.0.x compatibility.

pdo_sqlsrv 5.6.1
[Fixed]
- Issue [#937](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/937) - fixed assumptions made when calculating field or column metadata which may have resulted in application termination
- Pull Request [#946](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/pull/946) - fixed PDOStatement::getColumnMeta() to return false when something goes wrong
[Limitations]
- No support for inout / output params when using sql_variant type
- No support for inout / output params when formatting decimal values
- In Linux and macOS, setlocale() only takes effect if it is invoked before the first connection. Attempting to set the locale after connecting will not work
- Always Encrypted requires [MS ODBC Driver 17+](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/linux-mac/installing-the-microsoft-odbc-driver-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-2017)
  - Only Windows Certificate Store and Azure Key Vault are supported. Custom Keystores are not yet supported
  - Issue [#716](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/716) - With Always Encrypted enabled, named parameters in subqueries are not supported
  - [Always Encrypted limitations](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/php/using-always-encrypted-php-drivers?view=sql-server-2017#limitations-of-the-php-drivers-when-using-always-encrypted)
[Known Issues]
- Connection pooling on Linux or macOS is not recommended with [unixODBC](http://www.unixodbc.org/) < 2.3.7
- When pooling is enabled in Linux or macOS
  - unixODBC <= 2.3.4 (Linux and macOS) might not return proper diagnostic information, such as error messages, warnings and informative messages
  - due to this unixODBC bug, fetch large data (such as xml, binary) as streams as a workaround. See the examples [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/wiki/Features#pooling)
- With ColumnEncryption enabled, calling stored procedure with XML parameter does not work (Issue [#674](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/674))
- In SUSE 15, Azure Active Directory connections may fail if PHP is installed from packages (Issue [#934](https://github.com/Microsoft/msphpsql/issues/934))
