Hi,
time for a new release.

Although stable branch is kept updated with bugs and minor features new big
features, build improves and potential compatibility changes are not ported
to stable branch. Release bring all these changes, here (available also in
NEWS
file) changes for next release:


Summary of Changes in release 1.1
--------------------------------------------
User visible (not in a particular order):
- Removed 4.2 and 7.0 as default TDS protocol versions during
configure, the default if not specified is now "auto", to connect
to such obsolete servers you need to specify explicitly the version
("auto" won't attempt these versions). CMake build default to
version 7.1;
- allows to disable TLS 1.0 support;
- pool server allows to specify different username/password for server
and clients allowing to hide internal server logins;
- tsql utility now send final partial query to server to avoid to have
to specify a final "GO" line to terminate commands;
- better support for Microsoft cluster, client will attempt multiple
connection to server at the same time if DNS reply multiple IPs;
- MONEY/SMALLMONEY types are now formated with 4 decimal digits to
avoid truncation;
- MARS support is now compiled by default;
- pool server is now compiled by default;
- Fixed SQL_ATTR_LOGIN_TIMEOUT for ODBC;
- Fixed large integer numbers for ODBC RPC constants;
- Fixed encrypted logins if "auto" protocol version is used;
- Support CS_TIMEOUT and CS_LOGIN_TIMEOUT properties under CTLibrary;
- Added a dbacolname function in DBLibrary, similar to dbcolname but
for compute columns (mainly for Sybase now, Microsoft removed
support for compute columns);
- NTLMv2 is now on by default.

Implementation:
- Improved UTF-8 performances;
- Use more stdint.h style definitions (like uint32_t);
- Use bool type instead of int;
- pool server compile under Windows too (not as capable as Unix
version);
- CMake build is now able to do an installation;
- Added a src/utils directory to collect all common code not strictly
related to replacements or TDS;
- Simplified makefiles;
- Support CP1252 encoding in internal trivial iconv;
- Better ODBC detection. Allows to specify a directory with
--with-iodbc to specify custom iOBDC.

Kind Regards,
Frediano
