The following attributes were added:
1) mariadb.client_version
Returns the version of MariaDB Connector/C library as an integer
2) mariadb.client_version_info
Returns the version of MariaDB Connector/C library as tuple
Due to several incompatibilites (but also MDEV-23768, where errors
can't be triggered in unbuffered) we decided to switch the default
mode for cursor class for buffered from False to True.
Added connection attribute server_version_info and (for compatibiliry)
get_server_version() method.
Both return a tuple, describing the version number of connected server
in following format: (MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, PATCH_VERSION)
The connect() method now accepts an addtional parameter
converter which points to a dictionary, containing one or more conversions.
A conversion must be specified in the form {FIELD_TYOE : conversion_function}
Add option binary for cursor. When set to true cursor will always try
to use the client/server binary protocol, even when no parameter were
passed to execute.
Fixed default behavior of autocommit: If not autocommit mode was specified,
autocommit will be off by default (see https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#commit).
Added new keyword autocommit for connection class which might have the following values:
- None: use server default setting
- True: turns autocommit on
- False: turns autocommit off
- added a thin python wrapper around mariadb module
- added constansts under mariadb.constants (CLIENT, CURSOR, INDICATOR)
- bench and test are now in testing subdirectory
- updated documentation
