+Feb 23, 2016: Thanks to the community’s input, we have mostly been focusing on making updates to support native 64-bit and the PDO driver.  We will be sharing these updates in the coming weeks once we have something functional.  In the meantime, we have a couple of minor updates to the SQLSRV driver to share:
+- 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
