All,
Understanding that not everybody is in a position to immediately upgrade
their version of MySQLdb to the required 1.2.1p2 upon release of 0.96,
we have now committed a backwards-compatible MySQL backend to the
repository. This is called mysql_old.
If you really, really cannot upgrade the MySQLdb you are running against
and are willing to accept the problems caused by using the older
version, replace the mysql backend setting in settings.py with
'mysql_old' and everything should work as before.
It is important to realise:
- This backend is instantly deprecated. It is only a support
measure in order to give people time to upgrade. It will be
removed in a future release.
- This backend will not be actively developed. The only changes
we will make to it will be necessary security fixes, as per our
security policy. It will not necessarily support all the options
and functionality that the 'mysql' backend supports,
particularly in the development period following the 0.96
release.
Hopefully this will provide affected users with a less painful upgrade
path to a supported version.
Regards,
Malcolm
