Thanks to community’s input, we have mostly been focusing on making updates to support native 64-bit and the PDO drivers. We will be sharing these updates in the coming weeks once we have something functional. In the meanwhile we a few updates.
The 4.0.1 release includes a few minor updates to the SQLSRV driver:
• Fixed the ability to bind parameters with datetime types
• Fixed output and bidirectional (input/output) parameters. Note to users: we determined that output and bidirectional parameters now need to be passed in by reference (i.e. &$var) so that they can be updated with the output data and added an error check for these cases.
• Updated refcounting to avoid unnecessary reference counting for scalar values
