FreeTDS Development Group

["Brian Bruns" <camber AT ais.org>]

I have all the autoconf, _REENTRANT, three different call signature _r()
functions just about ready to go in...maybe tonight if I can fix the !@#$
autoconf macro to stop finding Linux as having the wrong getservbyname_r
signature.

OSF/1 as usual seems to be the oddball.  I think the linux and solaris
styles will be pretty evident if they're wrong, you game for some Tru64
testing?

BTW, is everyone comfortable with using './configure; make
CFLAGS=-D_REENTRANT' as a method of building FreeTDS with all the thread
safe stuff?  I'd prefer to have it optional for the time being, until
later in the 0.6x series anyway.

I made a couple UG changes (light stuff) but I'll get them checked in at
the same time.

Also, can anyone with SQL Server 2000 comment on how the TDS 8.0 support
is...it's still labeled experimental or broken in the docs, i'd like to be
specific on how usable it is.

And hopefully we clobbered the 99% cpu problem, if we could get some
testing when pre2 comes out that'd be great to have it wrapped up for
0.60.

Other than that, I haven't been keeping the NEWS file up to date like I
said I was gonna, so I once again need to go fishing through the
source/cvs logs/change logs to get a feature list for the announcement.
