This preview contains all the changes of CTP 1 including Integrated Security, it includes rollup fixes for all the QFEs we have shipped to date and we have addressed most customer issues filed through the product feedback center.

 

To round it off we have also added a brand new feature: Client Failover. As far as I know this is the first JDBC driver to take advantage of Sql Server 2005 Database Mirroring. This feature has been fully documented for this CTP, we could really use feedback on both the functionality and the docs.

 

For a complete change list take a look at the release.txt file that ships with the package, for the first time we are providing comprehensive information on the work we have done since v1.0, let us know if this is helpful information.
