Interestingly, I noticed this piece of code in connection.c, which
might be a consequence of that:
    rv->driver_version = ODBCVER;
#ifdef  WIN32
    if (VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_WINDOWS == platformId && rv->driver_version > 0x0300)
        rv->driver_version = 0x0300;
#endif /* WIN32 */
The driver informs that the version it uses is 0x0300. It has been
introduced by commit 08b2a1c.
