All, 

For anyone interested in nightly snapshots, we've started using a new
versioning scheme that might affect your scripts.  

Per earlier discussion, the reported version number of FreeTDS in CVS will
be 'freetds-0.xx.dev.yyyymmdd', where 'xx' is currently '62' (and
'yyyymmdd' is the date, of course).  When we're ready to release 0.62, the
release branch's version will be just 'freetds-0.62' and the main trunk of
freetds will become 'freetds-0.63.dev.yyyymmdd'.  

This means when you unpack last night's snapshot (for example), it will
create a source tree called "freetds-0.62.dev.20030223".  That's not the
way things worked a couple of days ago, which is the reason for this
message.  

The version number is now written to the log file, too.  I hope that will
make troubleshooting a little easier.
