Small update to mysql-native (A fully-D client library for MySQL/MariaDB that doesn't depend on any external MySQL/MariaDB libs). The most interesting thing in v2.3.0 is that, thanks to jpf91, the column names for a result set can now be obtained directly from the Row (via `Row.getName(columnIndex)`). Aside from that, this release just involves some internal cleanups (with much more still to come) and a rather major reworking of the test runner script. ---------------------------------------------------------- One important note for mysql-native users to be aware of (And this goes for all of mysql-native, not just this particular version): Starting with MySQL Server v8.0.4, the server's default authentication mechanism was changed. Unfortunately, mysql-native does not yet support this new authentication style. For now, if you have sufficient admin privileges for your DB server, you can temporarily work around the issue like this: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/upgrading-from-previous-series.html#upgrade-caching-sha2-password-compatibility-issues Naturally, I consider fixing this the current top priority for mysql-native. But as I've been rather busy lately I haven't had as much time for this as I would like, so I would encourage any able-bodied coders to please beat me to it! Other mysql-native users will be appreciative.
