    Is the JDBC driver 6.0 "Preview" release ready for production but was only labeled as Preview because SQL Server 2016 was still in Preview?SQL Server 2016 was released on Wednesday, but the download links for the MS JDBC driver 6.0 still seem to say Preview. Will it be much longer before release of the JDBC 6.0 driver?

    Thanks for adding TVP support to the JDBC driver. This is a great feature and we have been waiting eagerly for it.I downloaded the driver to try it out. However, I am finding that it does not allow NULL values for Date types. The following code reproes the problem:---public class DataTableTest{ @Test public void test() { try { SQLServerDataTable dataTable = new SQLServerDataTable(); dataTable.addColumnMetadata("id", Types.INTEGER); dataTable.addColumnMetadata("date", Types.DATE); dataTable.addRow(1, null); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }}---Can you please look into this asap? Here is a link to the case I opened on the forums: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/103d46a4-f26a-4782-8b51-b56ba9fb93fb/table-valued-parameters-and-null-date-values-in-ms-jdbc-60-driver?forum=sqldataaccess
