RELEASE:1.11.0

[gargsaumya]

Release mssql-python v1.11.0.

AB#46332

Summary

Version bump to 1.11.0. Updates mssql_python/__init__.py, setup.py, and PyPI_Description.md. Bundled mssql_py_core bumped from 0.1.5 to 0.1.6.

Bug Fixes

• SSH-tunnel / in-process forwarder deadlock — Release the GIL around blocking ODBC round-trips in the teardown path and SQLDescribeParam, so close() and parametrized queries with None values no longer deadlock in-process TCP forwarder setups (FIX: Release GIL around teardown SQLFreeHandle/SQLFreeStmt (#565) #604, issue Reopen Issue #491: SSH tunneling fails using paramiko+sshtunnel #565).
• BINARY/VARBINARY NULL parameters in temp tables and table variables — Proactively resolve unknown NULL parameter types before binding and emit actionable setinputsizes() guidance on SQL_VARCHAR fallback (FIX: SQLDescribeParam ordinal remapping for VARBINARY/BINARY NULL #654, issue SQLDescribeParam fails for VARBINARY/BINARY NULL when non-NULL parameter is bound first (ordinal remapping bug) #627).
• Context manager transaction semantics — Connection.__exit__ now commits on clean exit and rolls back on exception when autocommit=False, instead of always rolling back (FIX: Context manager commits on clean exit, rolls back on exception #639, issue Connection Context Manager and Commits #635).
• macOS Apple Silicon import failure — configure_dylibs.sh rewrites bundled ODBC dylib dependencies to @loader_path for every architecture in the universal2 wheel, fixing import mssql_python on clean Apple Silicon machines (FIX: configure bundled macOS ODBC dylibs for all arches, not just build host #661, issue Installation instruction for macOS #656).
• Service Principal bulk copy freeze — Fixed a GIL-deadlock in the Rust core that froze bulk copy under ActiveDirectoryServicePrincipal auth; picked up via the mssql_py_core 0.1.6 bump (CHORE: Bump mssql-py-core to 0.1.6 #666, issue bulkcopy using service principal authentication freezes #662).

Version Bump

• mssql_python/__init__.py: __version__ = "1.11.0"
• setup.py: version="1.11.0"
• PyPI_Description.md: ## What's new in v1.11.0 section refreshed.

PyPI_Description.md:50

• Minor documentation spelling/grammar: "Github" should be "GitHub" (brand capitalization), and the support sentence reads a bit awkwardly (missing commas / "mail" vs "email"). Since this file is already being edited for the release notes, it’s a good opportunity to fix both.

- **Service Principal Bulk Copy Freeze** - Fixed a GIL-deadlock that froze `bulkcopy` when authenticating with a service principal (#666, via `mssql_py_core` 0.1.6).
