Hi,
finally the project got into a state for a new release!

The stable branch is kept updated with bugs and minor features but new big
features, build improvements and potential compatibility changes are not
ported
to the stable branch.

The main reason for a new release is TVP support (mainly by Brandon Foong).

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

Summary of Changes in release 1.4
--------------------------------------------
User visible (not in a particular order):
- Fix some numeric conversion checks;
- Always use Unicode for SSPI allowing not ASCII to work;
- Improve BCP copy, especially for Sybase;
- Better error reporting for ICONV failures;
- ODBC: partial TVP support (missing data at execution);
- ODBC: support for quoted string in connection string;
- CT-Library: support large identifiers;
- CT-Library: report appropriate severity values;
- apps: datacopy report errors on standard error;
- pool: use poll instead of select to support more connections.

Implementation:
- Use more bool type for boolean instead of integer;
- more macros for ODBC tests to encapsulate some ODBC API.

Regards,
Frediano
