mysqlclient v1.2.2 Release Notes
-
👷 The build system has been completely redone and should now build 🏁 on Windows without any patching; uses setuptools.
➕ Added compatibility for Python 2.5, including support for with statement.
connection.ping() now takes an optional boolean argument which can enable (or disable) automatic reconnection.
👌 Support returning SET columns as Python sets was removed due to an 🚚 API bug in MySQL; corresponding test removed.
➕ Added a test for single-character CHAR columns.
BLOB columns are now returned as Python strings instead of byte arrays.
BINARY character columns are always returned as Python strings, and not unicode.
🛠 Fixed a bug introduced in 1.2.1 where the new SHOW WARNINGS support broke SSCursor.
Only encode the query (convert to a string) when it is a unicode instance; re-encoding encoded strings would break things.
👉 Make a deep copy of conv when connecting, since it can be modified.
➕ Added support for new VARCHAR and BIT column types.
DBAPISet objects were broken, but nobody noticed.
