 -  Fixed a bug (#68, #414) - Oracle's escape_str() didn't properly escape LIKE wild characters.
 -  Fixed a bug (#81) - ODBC's list_fields() and field_data() methods skipped the first column due to odbc_field_*() functions' index starting at 1 instead of 0.
 -  Fixed a bug (#129) - ODBC's num_rows() returned -1 in some cases, due to not all subdrivers supporting the odbc_num_rows() function.
+-  Fixed a bug (#153) - E_NOTICE being generated by getimagesize() in the :doc:`File Uploading library <libraries/file_uploading>`.
