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 read buffer
- 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
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
Initial Release
