 which is soon to be deprecated and will be removed from a
 future release.
 
-Status
-------
-
-This dialect currently depends on SQLAlchemy features that have not been
-officially released. For now you must **first** install SQLAlchemy from
-source **before** installing this dialect.
-
-For SQLAlchemy 1.3 ...::
-
-    pip install git+https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy@rel_1_3
+Pre-requisites
+--------------
 
-... or for (pre-release) SQLAlchemy 1.4 ...::
+You will need an ODBC driver for SAP ASE installed on the machine from which
+you want to connect to the SAP ASE server. This dialect is tested with
+a *current version* of the `FreeTDS`_ ODBC driver.
 
-    pip install git+https://github.com/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy.git
+.. _FreeTDS: https://www.freetds.org/
 
-Pre-requisites
---------------
+Also, if you are running on Linux and using `unixODBC`_, check the version via
+``odbcinst -j``. The official repositories of several Linux distributions
+contain versions of unixODBC that are quite old and somewhat buggy.

 Getting Started
 ---------------
 
-Create an `ODBC DSN (Data Source Name)`_ that points to your Sybase database.
