Since I can see this becoming a popular question (it got me today), I've put some notes up on the Wiki.

FAQ entry:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/FreeSwitch_FAQ#Q:_I.27ve_upgraded_and_my_ODBC_DSNs_no_longer_work.21

New "Release Notes" page where we can stick notes on behaviour changing stuff for people to review when upgrading:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Release_Notes

Which is linked to from the Which_Version_Should_I_Use template:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Which_Version_Should_I_Use
Which puts it on the front page and Download/Installation pages.

A note link is also at the top of the Download/Installation page to make it a little more prominent.

Hey Guys,

There’s some new Database Goodness in the core of FreeSWITCH that can lead to some unexpected things for you guys updating existing installations using ODBC.

We now have Native PostgreSQL support in the core, and along with this comes some changes to the various “odbc-dsn” settings around the tree.

If you are using the format “dsn:username:password” you wont be affected, however if you are just specifying a DSN as “dsn” you will need to listen up

The settings for this field have changed.

pgsql://hostaddr=127.0.0.1 dbname=freeswitch user=freeswitch password='' options='-c client_min_messages=NOTICE for postgresql (the stuff after pgsql:// is a standard libpq connect string for you programmer types)
odbc://dns:username:password  for ODBC   ( dsn:: should also work or dns:username: )
sqlite://filename   for sqlite different SQLite Databases

I think we still need to doc this up good, but its there and its coming strong...
