As discussed, the above link is posted on the main FreeTDS web page, and a
small announcement can be found in News.  

This candidate incorporates:

* The changes Frediano suggested last week.  
* All patches posted as of this mail.

It will unpack as freetds-0.62rc2.  The above URL references a symbolic
link to the true file (also available on the ibiblio ftp server, of
course): freetds-0.62rc2.tar.gz.  The website's hyperlink will always
point to the latest release candidate (if extant) through the symlink.  

Note that Christos's bcp patch (thanks Christos!) has been applied, too,
but I have not tested it with TDS 5.0.  

As far as I can tell, the Source Forge anonCVS is back online, whatever
the Y2K+4 issues might have been.  

Please, if you have an usual architecture/os/compiler, post here if you
find any problems or complaints.  This is your chance to see your favorite
setup be accomodated in the imminent (eminent?) release.  

I did not form a CVS branch for the release yet.  My sense is that any
changes going in at this time are not release-specific.  

We've had positive feedback on FreeBSD, NetBSD, HP/UX, and OS X.  And, I
assume, Linux.  Before finalization, I'm particularly interested in other
proprietary Unices: Solaris, Tru64, DG, AIX.  You know, before they
succumb to Linux.  ;-)
