digitalmars.D.announce - mysql-native v0.1.7

reply Nick Sabalausky <SeeWebsiteToContactMe semitwist.com> writes:
Minor update to mysql-native: A client driver for MySQL/MariaDB written 
natively in D from scratch via the published protocol specs, with no 
dependency on the C MySQL client library. Supports either Phobos or 
Vide.d sockets (works with or without Vibe.d).

https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native
DUB: http://code.dlang.org/packages/mysql-native

In v0.1.7:
- New: Test suite automatically tests with both Vibe and Phobos sockets, 
not just Phobos. ( Abscissa)
- Change: Drop support for DMDFE 2.066.1 and below. Compiles on DMDFE 
2.067.1 through 2.072.0.
- Fixed: Fix an import deprecation message for DMD 2.071. ( Abscissa)

Full changelog:
https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

I know I've said docs and examples are a top priority for mysql-native, 
but it's become clear that the API is in serious need of a refresh, so 
for the most part, I've held off on the docs this time to avoid wasted 
effort documenting to-be-deprecated interfaces.

Unless any pressing issues appear, expect the next release to be an 
experimental branch showcasing a beta of a new API. If possible, I'd 
like to have at least one release where the old API is still functional, 
but deprecated.

Please consider to look at the APIs of the other mysql libs, 
maybe there is one
which you can use. I found it easier to use the APIs of  mysql-d 
(https://github.com/paxa/mysql.d) but mysql-lited 
(https://github.com/eBookingServices/mysql-lited) looks more 
enhanced. But here too:


 Documentation is not ready yet


I would be very happy, if in the end there would be only one 
superior mysql-lib for D, so
all can work together to improve this one.

Hmm, actually, there appears to be a lot of similarity with part of what 
I had in mind:

https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native/issues/83

In particular, I *really* want to pretty much get rid of the Command 
struct. Minimizing heap activity is also a goal, albeit separate from 
this API refresh.


 But here too:

mysql-native gets very few PRs. :(
