Hi,

here's a ping to everyone who is still and maybe accidentally subscribed to this list. A bout of corona, quite harmless thanks to three helpings of Comirnaty, created some free time to fiddle with my software projects again, after being forced to neglect them for years. Long story short, I'd like to revert an ill-advised patch from 2017 and add an option to the MySQL driver which allows users to set the SQL mode per session, without having to reconfigure an entire server for specific purposes like some legacy SQL code. Problem is, my knowledge about release versioning and, even more so, library versioning, is rusty, to say the least. Neither of the changes will affect backward compatibility. The change to libdbi fixes a stupid patch which caused an extra error message without affecting the function of the library itself. The change to the driver honors another option but the driver works the same if the option is not set. So how am I supposed to deal with the versioning here?

Helpful hints are greatly welcome. Also, feel free to suggest additional changes that the project might need.

regards,
Markus
