Mysql 2.9.0 Released

mysql version 2.9.0 has been released!

This is the MySQL API module for Ruby. It provides the same functions
for Ruby
programs that the MySQL C API provides for C programs.

This package is offered as gem for easy installation using RubyGems. It
wraps
unmodified tmtm’s mysql-ruby extension into a proper gem.

Please note that tmtm (Tomita Mashahiro) has deprecated development of
this
extension and only update it for bug fixes.

Changes:

2.9.0 / 2012-11-17

DEPRECATION: Ruby 1.8.6 is no longer supported. Do not update your
production
application blindly without testing first any dependency change!

  • Incompatibility:

    • Requires Ruby 1.8.7 or newer.
  • Enhancements:

    • Detect MySQL version at load time and fail on mismatch [ghazel]
    • Use MySQL Connector/C for Windows binary bindings instead
  • Bug fixes:

    • Use RbConfig since Config is deprecated in Ruby 2.0 [tenderlove]
