I'm trying something a little different this time around, and hopefully 
we will have a nice solid release.  I've put a release candidate 1 on 
ibiblio

ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/freetds-0.53rc1.tgz

CVS has been tagged for the 0.53 release and all known major bugs from 
0.52 and the pre releases have been fixed (that is not to say that there are 
not 
bugs...of course).  If no show stoppers appear with this, it will be 
renamed as 0.53 with no other changes.  Anything else will have to go 
into 0.54.

Oh and one other side note, the interfaces file will no longer install by 
default, so one could build with --with-prefix=/usr/local and not have to 
set the SYBASE and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables.  This is how the RPMs will 
be built from now on.

The release can also be checked out of CVS with the '-r R0_53' argument.

Cheers,

Brian
