0.61 wish list

Now that jkl is putting the final touches on the 0.60 release (I make a
terrible release manager as evidenced by the frequency of releases over
the years, so I'd like to express my gratitude to Jim for taking over the
responsibility) I think it makes sense to start thinking about what
features we want in 0.61 and beyond. If everyone put in their
plans/wishes we might be able to plan the upcoming releases better.
For myself I have two big items and some smaller ones.
1) Get a solid corpus of unittests for ODBC, and have it become a top
tier API.
2) Multibyte support. There's been some discussion on this, I'd like to
see at least UTF-8 supported decently, big5 and ucs-2, etc... might be
0.62 fodder, we'll see I guess.
3) output params for dblib are ready as soon as we open 0.61.
Not specifically 0.61 but futures:
1) placeholder support for TDS 5.0. This is partially done but crashes, I
hope to revisit it soon.
2) Get connection pooling working with all protocol versions.
3) Finish off the TDS dissector for ethereal (while not directly FreeTDS
related it'd be a big help).
So, that's my list, how about yours?
Brian
