Hi,

I'd like to announce releases 1.2200 and 1.2018 of the Msql-Mysql-modules.

Release 1.2018 is the (hopefully last) of the previously stable 1.20xx series. You should use this package in particular, if you are interested in upwards compatibility. The main modification in 1.2018 is that it works The main difference to 1.2017 is that you can build an RPM version of this package quite easily with the "makerpm.pl" script. This version will be supported and maintained for bug and portability fixes only in the future and support may be silently dropped at any time. (As is the case with 1.1834.)

The 1.2200 series (formerly 1.21_xx) ought to work well with the latest DBI features ($dbh->type_info, $dbh->tables, ...). Additionally a lot of minor features have been declared obsolete or deprecated. Deprecated features issue a warning unless you set

$DBD::mysql::QUIET = 1; or $DBD::mSQL::QUIET = 1;

at the beginning of your script. Deprecated features will be silently removed in 1.23_xx and 1.24, whenever that will be. Obsolete features will be deprecated at the same time.

For Linux users I recommend installing these packages via makerpm.pl, a README is attached. The modules and the makerpm.pl script are available at any CPAN mirror, in particular

ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/JWIED

Good luck with the new software, ;-)

Jochen
