Under the header "FreeTDS Compatibility & Configuration" README says: "We are currently having issues with passing down a TDS version with the login bit. Till we get that fixed, if you are not using a freetds.conf or a TDSVER environment variable, then make sure to use 7.1."
Later under "TinyTds::Client Usage" it says: ":tds_version - TDS version. Defaults to "7.3"."
Based on blame history besides a typo change the section "FreeTDS Compatibility & Configuration" has not been updated for many years and I assume is out of date.
