Updates:
- there is now a new mars1 test with some initial tests. It works even
using multiple statements now (that is odbc now support mars)
- mars works under Windows (I wrote a portable tds_condition instead
of using directly pthread_cond), still to test with systems that
support CONDITION_VARIABLE
- timeout is not fully implemented.
- blob1 test works correctly, libTDS stop sending if server can't
receive that packets
- still same issue with error reporting

Hi,
? I created a new freetds repo at
https://gitorious.org/~freddy77/freetds/mars-freetds.
No, I'm not mad and it's not a fork. However I don't like to have my
personal branches on the official repo.
One of the main reason is to share mars branch (actually the only
additional branch).
Currently all tests passes even with mars code !!! But not all
enabling mars... and upper layers do not currently support it and
there are no specific tests! So... quite useless branch :)
Apart from odbc support (the only library which support it) blob1 test
fails with mars enabled due to the fact that if client does not limit
packets sending speed server drop connection. I think this is another
point to add to the James page on why do not use mars !! The other
test that fails is cursor4 due to different protocol for transaction
if mars is enabled (perhaps another small point to add to above page).
Currently another problem is error reporting. If server drop
connection all sessions should receive a network error.
