Dear DBD::mysql users and developers,

I'm pleased to announce the release of DBD::mysql 4.003! This release 
contains
various fixes including:

* Fix re-exec of Makefile.PL when forcing $ENV{LANG} to 'C'. (RT #25233,
  reported by Slaven Rezic)
* Rewrote table_info method to support all arguments (previously it would
  only ever return all of the tables in the current database, no matter what
  was specified)
* Fixed $DBD::mysql::VERSION to be a string instead of a float, which caused
  problems for certain locales
* Fixed bug #23974. $dbh->column_info now returns empty arrayref upon 
table  
   not existing.  Much thanks to Tim Bunce for help fixing the problem in
   mysql.pm vs. dbdimp.c
* Removed #ifdefs for do error (sqlstate being passed as last arg 
depending on
  version)
* Fixed insertid test to work with auto_increment_increment replication 
setup.
* Patch from Tim Bunce fixing do() not set $dbh->{Statement} attribute,
  which prevented DBD::Profile from giving correct results for calls to do()
  and causing ShowErrorStatement to possibly report the wrong statement 
in the
  error message
* Patch from Tim Bunce clearing out the sth attribute cache when switching
  between result, sets which prevented the adjustedment of NUM_OF_FIELDS
* Cleanup of several unused variables
* Added support for wildcards in last argument of column_info().
* Add mysql_is_auto_increment to results of column_info(). (Bug #26603,
  original patch from Dave Rolsky)
* Return the correct table type for both tables and views from the 
table_info()
  method. (Bug #26603, original patch from Dave Rolsky)
* Add implementation of foreign_key_info() (Bug #26604, original patch from
  Dave Rolsky, and final implementation based on Connector/J code)

Note: you may notice that the version went from 4.001 to 4.003. That's 
because there
was an issue with the 4.002 distribution file that needed to be fixed, 
and CPAN
doesn't allow uploading the same version file twice, hence the version 
was bumped.

This release was possible due to the efforts of:

Jim Winstead
Tim Bunce
Dave Rolsky

Thanks for bug reporting from

Slaven Rezic RT #25233
Allard Hoeve and others alerting me to problems with version being 
changed from
a string, which caused local issues for those who use ',' instead of '.' 
for decimal.

And anyone else I forgot to mention. Thank you for reporting bugs and 
sending
patches!

Also, thank you for using DBD::mysql!

Kind regards,

Patrick Galbraith
