Well this is not quite right. The unixODBC driver manager
was a ODBC 3 driver manager from the outset. It has never
been a 2.x DM, thats why we started work on the project.

It includes all the 3.x to 2.x translation as specified in the MS
ODBC 3.5 spec, and is an attempt to replicate the 3.x support
enjoyed by Windows programmers. It supports the full 3.x API
and should allow both 3 and 2 applications to function with 3 and
2 drivers. If it doesn't let me know and we will fix.

Thread support is now present in the CVS version from
http://www.unixodbc.org, and once I have finished adding
autoconf, automake support, this and a few bug fixes will be
released as a beta 1.6 (should be within the week). I will then
upgrade the code in the KDE release to match.
