It includes features such as Updateable cursors and savepoint support.

Dunno yet - it hasn't had particularly widespread testing.

Also unknown at this point.

Well when the time comes we will point users in the right direction, but
at the moment the choice is from a developers perspective, which driver
provides the best basis for future versions? It appears that the
enhanced 07.03 branch is most peoples choice, so we will look at basing
future versions of psqlODBC on that. At the moment though 08.01.0200 is
the officially supported version.
