The latter uses an older set of Oracle client libraries that allows connections to Oracle 7 and 8.0 databases. The impact is that users on Windows will no longer be able to connect to the older databases unless they compile the extension themselves. The benefit is reduced user confusion and PDO maintenance. The change is to remove the pdo-oci8 section of ext/pdo_oci/config.w32 and tidy up associated Windows DLL release infrastructre.
