go-sql-driver__mysql/CHANGELOG.md

1.1 (pending)

Changes:

• Go-MySQL-Driver now requires Go 1.1
• Connections now use the collation utf8_general_ci by default. Adding &charset=UTF8 to the DSN should not be necessary anymore
• Made closing rows and connections error tolerant. This allows for example deferring rows.Close() without checking for errors
• New Logo
• Changed the copyright header to include all contributors
• Optimized the buffer for reading
• Use the buffer also for writing. This results in zero allocations (by the driver) for most queries
• stmt.Query now caches column metadata
• Improved the LOAD INFILE documentation
• The driver struct is now exported to make the driver directly accessible
• Refactored the driver tests
• Added more benchmarks and moved all to a separate file
• Other small refactoring
• DSN parameter values must now be url.QueryEscape'ed. This allows text values to contain special characters, such as '&'.

New Features:

• Added old_passwords support: Required in some cases, but must be enabled by adding allowOldPasswords=true to the DSN since it is insecure
• Added a clientFoundRows parameter: Return the number of matching rows instead of the number of rows changed on UPDATEs
• Added TLS/SSL support: Use a TLS/SSL encrypted connection to the server. Custom TLS configs can be registered and used

Bugfixes:

• Fixed MySQL 4.1 support: MySQL 4.1 sends packets with lengths which differ from the specification
• Convert to DB timezone when inserting time.Time
• Splitted packets (more than 16MB) are now merged correctly
