Hi, folks!

I’m delighted to announce the v0.0.12 release of ngx\_drizzle, a  
non-blocking upstream module that helps nginx talk directly to mysql,  
drizzle, and sqlite3 servers (and with an optional connection pool).  
The project source repository and the homepage is on GitHub:

```
http://github.com/chaoslawful/drizzle-nginx-module

```

and the release tarball can be downloaded from

```
http://github.com/chaoslawful/drizzle-nginx-module/tarball/v0.0.12

```

This release has the highlight of several new config directives that  
control the various timeout settings used by ngx\_drizzle:

drizzle\_connect\_timeout   
drizzle\_send\_query\_timeout   
drizzle\_recv\_cols\_timeout   
drizzle\_recv\_rows\_timeout

The default timeout values for them are all “60 s”, i.e., 60 seconds,  
which may be too long for many real world applications.

Thanks my colleague shrimp++ for testing them and fixing bugs in the  
original (undocumented) implementation 🙂

Also thanks Piotr S. for his tireless improving the test suite to  
fit our grand test build farm and his fixes for the recent nginx  
0.8.47+ releases.

As always, special thanks go to my colleague and closest friend,  
chaoslawful++, for creating such an excellent module in the first  
place 😉

FWIW, we’re already using this module (combined with ngx\_rds\_json as  
well as many other modules) in production, in particular, the

Have fun!
