ANNOUNCE: DBD::mysql 2.9005_3

Hello everyone,

DBD::mysql 2.9005_3 should now be up on CPAN.

Changelog:

2004-10-27  Rudolf Lippan <[email protected]> (2.9005_3)
        * Removed requirement that mysql.mtest be included in the distribution.
        * DBI 1.43 is required -- It is needed for support of 
          $dbh->last_insert_id().
        * Added $dbh->{mysql_unsafe_bind_type_guessing} = 2 which will look at
          each bind_param and make guess based on whether it looks like a 
          number, and if the parameter looks like a number, it will not be 
          quoted.  [thanks to dragonchild for cleaning up the initial rough 
          draft impementation making it ready for prime time]
        * Applied patch to fix column which broke with later version of mysql
          [Tim Bunce]
        * Merged $dbh->last_inert_id() from the 3.0 dev tree
        * If you are using perl 5.008 without a $ENV{LANG} of "C". Makefile.PL
          will now 1. Complain loudly, and 2. set LANG to "C" and then
          exec itself with the new lang setting.
        * Added '$dbh->{mysql_unsafe_bind_type_guessing}'. When this flag is
          enabled any scalar that is passed to execute() and was used in
          numeric context will be treated as a number when being sent to the
          database backend. This can be a secuity problem in that if you 
          use a string in numeric context, it will NOT be quoted before being 
          passed to the database -- use at your own risk. The default is off.
        * fixed typo in pod changing  failed_auto_reconnects_failed to 
          auto_reconnects_failed [Paul DuBois <[email protected]>]



And the latest release of the 2.9 Dev Branch which has support for prepared 
statements is here:

Changlog:

2004-10-28 Rudolf Lippan <[email protected]> (2.9015_1)
        * Merged Makefile.PL from 2.9005_3
        * Bumped version number to 2.9015 for release of Dev Branch. Which 
          will become 2.9020 when tested and merged into HEAD.
        * fixed typo/compiler warning in bind_param_guessing 
          '*testchar' should have been 'testchar'.

2004-10-20 Patrick Galbraith [email protected] (Dev-2_9 - 2.9005)

  * merged changes from 2.9005_1
  * fix to blob in dbd_st_fetch (Alexey Stroganov [email protected])
  In case of BLOB/TEXT fields we allocate only 8192 bytes in dbd_describe()
  for data. Here we know real size of field so we should increase buffer
  size and refetch column value




2004-07-25 Patrick Galbraith [email protected] (2.9004)
  * Prepared statement support
* Use of mysql_stmt_* API (>= 4.1.3)
  * mysql_shutdown fix
* MySQL Embedded Server support (Alexey Stroganov)
  * Fixed link failure on MacOSX
  * Cleaned up tests
  * Fixed various compile warnings
