FreeTDS 1.3 Release Candidate 2


Hi,
another updated release candidate.

I expect this is the last release candidate, there were just
some minor updates:
- Fixed some issue with OpenVMS;
- Updated Userguide.

Release changes for next release (available also in NEWS file):

Summary of Changes in release 1.3
--------------------------------------------
User visible (not in a particular order):
- Generic:
- Support UTF-8 columns using MSSQL 2019;
- Do not accept TDS protocol versions "4.6" (never really supported) and
"8.0";
- Minor portability issues;
- Fix log elision for login;
- Detect some possible minor memory failure in application;
- Support long (more than 64k) SSPI packets (never encountered but you
never know);
- Fix unicode columns for ASA database;
- Avoid using BCP with old protocols;
- (*) Fix bulk copy using big endian machines;
- (*) Fix Sybase uni(var)char and unsigned types for big endian machines;
