Quick question on one of the Bulk-copy improvements.

Does the "support for empty fields" take care of the "Attempt to bulk-copy a 
Null Value into Server column does not accept null values" error raised when 
you attempt to send an empty field to a NOT NULL column that has a default 
defined on it?
The correct SQL Server behavior is to apply the default value, but the 0.92 
version of freebcp is raising the error instead and ignoring the default. 
If I change the column to nullable, it applies the default as expected

Subject: [freetds] FreeTDS version 0.95 just released.

Finally, after years of improvements and fixes we got a new version

Summary of Changes in release 0.95
--------------------------------------------
User visible (not in a particular order):
- Support for build with CMake under Windows.
- Support MSSQL 2008:
  - new date/time types;
  - NBCROWs;
  - able to retrieve CLR UDT types in binary format.
- Moved from CVS to git.
- Support MARS under ODBC.
- IPv6 support.
- Support unsigned Sybase types.
- Sybase use some characters conversion like MSSQL.
- Bulk-copy improvements:
  - more types;
  - support for empty fields;
  - no needs for seekable file;
  - avoid possible buffer overflows;
  - less memory consumption;
  - handle different BIT fields in Sybase;
  - -T option for datacopy.
- datacopy:
  - prompting for password (use "-" password on command line);
  - empty user/password (to use Kerberos).
- Support for query notifications in ODBC.
- Support for protocols 7.2 and 7.3 under dblib and ctlib.
- dblib:
  - dbpivot extension;
  - dbprcollen extension to get printable column size;
  - add DBCOL2 structure for dbtablecolinfo;
  - support DBTEXTSIZE option for dbsetopt;
  - support SRCNUMERICBIND and SRCDECIMALBIND binding;
  - DATETIME2BIND extension binding to support new mssql 2008 type;
-  ODBC:
  - add SQL_INFO_FREETDS_TDS_VERSION option to SQLGetInfo to retrieve FreeTDS
    version;
  - add --enable-odbc-wide-tests configure option to use wide functions in
    unit tests.
- Better thread support.
- Allow to specify server SPN for GSSAPI.
- Sybase graceful disconnects.
- Better support for VARCHAR(MAX)/VARBINARY(MAX).
- Better error reporting from login failure.
- More strict test for configuration errors, fails if configuration is wrong.
- "use utf-16" option to enable use of UTF-16 for server encoding (MSSQL).
- Remove support for Dev-C++.
- Remove support for bad iconv, use libiconv instead (Tru64 and HP-UX should
  be affected), connect will fail.
- New NTLM options:
  - "use lanman";
  - "use ntlmv2".
- New Kerberos options:
  - "realm" ("REALM" in ODBC);
  - "spn" ("ServerSPN" in ODBC).
- New certificate options:
 - "ca file";
 - "crl file";
 - "check certificate hostname".
- Many bug fixes, majors:
  - SSPI with Kerberos on some setup;
  - SQLCancel threading;
  - ctlib numeric;
  - ODBC statistic function quotings.
