Meet Bhagdev announces a new version of the SQL Server ODBC driver for Linux:
Added
- 
BCP API support - You can use functions through the ODBC driver as described here on Linux.
 
- 
Support for user-defined KeyStoreProvider for Always Encrypted - You can now user-defined/created AE Column Master Key keystore providers. Check out code samples and more information here.
 
- 
Ubuntu 16.10 support - Developed a package Ubuntu 16.10 for an apt-get experience.
 
- 
Dependency on the platform unixODBC Driver Manager instead of the custom unixODBC-utf16 Driver Manager - 
This avoids conflicts with applications/software that depends on the platform unixODBC Driver Manager. 
 
- 
No groundbreaking additions, but there are a couple nice fixes in the update.
