Version 3.0001_0 Dev release DBD::mysql, the perl DBI interface to
MySQL,
has just been released. This version fixes windows compilation issues
as well
as some other issues found in both 2.900x and 3.0000.
Thanks to:
Steve Hay, for his excellent help on Windows compilation issues.
Bodo Bergmann for other crucial issues he found compiling on AIX.
One of the key differences with this release is that server-side
prepared statements (not emulated in the driver, but prepared on the
server using the mysql prepared statement C-API) are compiled and
during make test, turned on by default. In regular use, you still need
to set ":mysql_server_prepare=1" at the end of your DSN string in order
to use prepared statements.
Note: Prepared statements will only work on the server with MySQL
versions 4.1.3 and greater. If you have an earlier version, it will
default back to driver-emulated prepared statements.
