Dear Perl community,
I'm pleased to announce the release of DBD::mysql, the MySQL Perl
client, 4.020. The release has several great fixes provided by the
community, and in particular from Masahiro Chiba, who fixed several
issues pertaining to prepared statement support as well as UTF8
support, something that I myself have had a difficult time fixing and
testing.
