Monday 31 March 2014 proved to be a big day for MySQL with 5 announcements of products getting new releases: the next milestone release MySQL Server 5.7.4, MySQL Workbench 6.1 going GA and Connector/J 5.1.30 and MySQL Utilities 1.4.2 RC which include MySQL Fabric. That’s 4, the fifth being Connector/Python.
Connector/Python v1.2.1 has been released as Release Candidate. Check out the Change History if you want to keep up with what is being added and changed.
Here is an overview of new features and important bug fixes for Connector/Python v1.2:
- Added support for MySQL Fabric
- Support for MySQL’s Authentication Plugins: mysql_clear_password and sha256_password are now supported over an SSL connection.
- Failing over connections (note: not MySQL Fabric HA)
I am sure the a above will spark some interesting follow-up blog posts (at last, some activity, some might say!).
