-The cdr\_tds module is NOT compatible with version 0.63 of FreeTDS.
-
-The cdr\_tds module is known to work with FreeTDS version 0.62.1;
-it should also work with 0.62.2, 0.62.3 and 0.62.4, which are bug
-fix releases.
-
-The cdr\_tds module uses the raw "libtds" API of FreeTDS. It appears
-that from 0.63 onwards, this is not considered a published API
-of FreeTDS and is subject to change without notice.
-
-Between 0.62.x and 0.63 of FreeTDS, many incompatible changes
-have been made to the libtds API.
-
-For newer versions of FreeTDS, it is recommended that you use the
-ODBC driver.
+The cdr\_tds module now works with most modern release versions of FreeTDS (from
+at least 0.60 through 0.82).  Although versions of FreeTDS prior to 0.82 will
+work, we recommend using the latest available version for performance and
+stability reasons.
 
+The latest release of FreeTDS is available from http://www.freetds.org/
