hibernate fixes SQLServer char(n) mapping bug in 3.6.8

Hibernate have had an annoying bug where SQLServer columns mapped as char(n) where n > 1 are returned as a char instead of String.

varchar(n) columns are fine.

The hibernate bug is https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-2304

It is fixed in 3.6.8 however 3.6.10 is already out so I have just downloaded & tried that.
excellent it works.

Hibernate4 is also out. I have not tried that yet but no doubt will be soon.
