Hi,
a new version has been released.

Just a minor change since release candidate 3.


Summary of Changes in release 1.2
---------------------------------
User visible (not in a particular order):
- Sybase server:
- All strings are now converted as MSSQL;
- Support kerberos login;
- DB-Library: add DBSETNETWORKAUTH, DBSETMUTUALAUTH, DBSETDELEGATION and
DBSETSERVERPRINCIPAL;
- CT-Library: add CS_SEC_NETWORKAUTH, CS_SEC_NETWORKAUTH,
CS_SEC_NETWORKAUTH and CS_SEC_NETWORKAUTH;
- Bulk copies:
- DB-Library: fix trim of unicode fields;
- (*) Apply character conversion for Sybase, like MSSQL;
- (*) Ignore computed columns;
- (*) Properly support multibyte strings in column names;
- (*) DB-Library: stop correctly on BCPMAXERRS setting;
- (*) DB-Library: do not try to convert skipped rows reading file allowing
for instance to load CVS files;
- (*) CT-Library: added CS_DATABASE property to allows to connect correctly
to Azure servers;
- (*) Improve support for MS XML columns for both DB-Library and CT-Library;
- (*) Fix some issues with MSSQL server redirection (used for instance in
Azure);
- (*) Change SQL_DESC_OCTET_LENGTH value for wise character columns;
- Better support for SQL_VARIANT:
- Better column checks;
- (*) CT-Library: now supported, columns are returned as CS_CHAR_TYPE;
- Some updates to server part:
- Set correctly initial state;
- IPv6 support;
- Fix TDS 7.2 logins;
- Support extended character using domain logins under Unix;
- Improve MARS:
- Less memory copies;
- (*) Remove possible deadlock;
- Handle wrapping sequence/window numbers;
- Make sure we sent the wanted packet;
- (*) Support UTF-16 surrogate pairs in odbc_wide2utf and
odbc_set_string_flag
fixing some character encoding support;
- (*) Fix multiple queries, used by ODBC to optimize data load;
- (*) Improve emulated parameter queries, fixing minor issues and reducing
memory usage;
- Support DBVERSION_UNKNOWN in dbsetlversion (will use automatic detection);
- CT-Library: define CS_MIN_SYBTYPE and CS_MAX_SYBTYPE;
- (*) CT-Library: fix cs_will_convert accepting library constants, not
libTDS.

(*) Feature backported in stable 1.1 branch.

Implementation:
- User guide converted to XML;
- Always use little endian on network level, simpler and faster;
- Converted some files to markdown;
- Optimize bytes endianess conversion;
- Made character lookup faster making character conversion quicker;
- Optimize data padding in CT-Library;
- Fix some build dependencies causing some files to not be properly
recompiled during development;
- Add "freeze" support allowing to pause sending in order to simplify
lengths computations sending data.


Kind Regards,
Frediano
