I wouldn't say it's official; it's simply a version previously maintained
by me, the author of the module.  It's quickly moving towards unmaintained
status (I haven't touched it in 6 months, and I may never again).  Also note
that there are some features in the 1.2 backport which are not in the 1.4
tree; it's a backport from trunk.  However, there is likewise a backport of
the trunk features for 1.4.

You should never run into database handle leaks with func_odbc, no.  The
connections are handled transparently and released when necessary.
