Version 3.0001_3 Dev release and Version 3.0001 DBD::mysql, the perl DBI interface to MySQL,
have just been released.

Version 3.0001 is a production version with server-side prepared statements turned off by default during 'make test', and version 3.0001_3 is a development version with server-side prepared statements turned on during 'make test'. Even though the code supports server side prepared statements, you must have version 4.1.3 of MySQL for them to work, otherwise the driver simply emulates prepared statements.

With any new version, there are issues that have to be ironed out, and I realise that many of you have found some issues since the release of 3.0000, and I'm extremely grateful for the feedback that I've been getting in solving many of these problems.

Thanks to:

Brad Choate, Six Apart Ltd. - Reporting and sending me a test script that revealed the bug where updating and inserting escaped double and single quotes would cause segfault

Anup Singh and Tom Parkison - Reporting the issue with problems when compiling against client versions less than 4.1.3

Please, if anyone has any problems or questions with the driver, please feel free to email me, or especially post to [email protected] (if you are subscribed of course!), and if you find bugs, please report them to http://bugs.mysql.com
