Changes in MySQL Connector/Python 2.0.3 (2015-01-28)

    Bugs Fixed

      * The Django backend was creating excessive connections
        (immediately when each DatabaseWrapper object was created
        rather than waiting until the object actually needed the
        connection.) (Bug #74696, Bug #19972427)

      * Using the Django backend, it was not possible to connect
        to a connection_created signal. (Bug #74679, Bug
        #19954882)

      * recv_plain() could fail to read a packet header
        correctly, resulting in a lost connection. (Bug #74483,
        Bug #19930054)

      * Error messages containing non-ASCII characters caused an
        exception to be raised. (Bug #74345, Bug #19803702)

      * When using the callproc() cursor method, warnings
        generated by statements executed within the procedure or
        generated by the procedure itself were not available to
        the client. (Bug #74252, Bug #19777815)

      * Connection pooling did not work when using MySQL Fabric.
        (Bug #73445, Bug #19331658)
