    Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

    For Drizzle build 1347 this includes:

  • Brian's implementation of the Data Dictionary work which temporarily removes Information Schema. Look for an ANSI compliant Information Schema to be back in our next release in two weeks.
  • Switched the default protocol to use the MySQL protocol. See Eric's blog for a great summary and details. Note that as of today the Drizzle JDBC driver will not work, however Marcus is working on it and should have a fix very soon.

    • For libdrizzle build 0.8 this release includes:

  • Added prototest suite for testing the MySQL protocol
  • Changed default protocol to be MySQL for Drizzle connections to stay in sync with defaults on the Drizzle server
  • Build system and RPM packaging updates
  • Bug fixes in concurrent query execution and compiling for FreeBSD
  • The libdrizzle download file and change log can be found here
