Hi,
just another updated release candidate.

I expect this is the last release candidate.

Changes since previous release candidate:
- Fixed some build issues;
- Added CS_CLIENTCHARSET option to ct_con_props;
- Fix compilation in case --with-odbc-nodm is used (declaration clash);
- Minor test improvements;
- Prepare userguide source to be changed to XML instead of old SGML;
- Fix a problem detecting SQLGetPrivateProfileString function if no
standard directory was specified.


General release changes (as in NEWS file):


Summary of Changes in release 1.1
--------------------------------------------
User visible (not in a particular order):
- Changed default TDS protocol version during configure to "auto".
Versions 4.2 and 7.0 are no longer accepted for default, you may
still specify an explicit version to connect to obsolete servers
("auto" won't attempt these versions);
- 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
