Anything special needed in 5.7 to use JSON data?

Hi,

I've installed the "milestone" 5.7 Windows version from the installer in order to start working directly with JSON data. However, any attempt to issue an instruction related to JSON results in a syntax error. Example:

CREATE TABLE table1 (data JSON);

Results in an error. The on line docs seem to indicate that I might have to add functions or manually compile code to use the JSON data type. Problem is, it's difficult to tell from the docs what is current and what is "old news."

I would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. I'm not new to MySQL, but I don't often have to do such a major update. 5.7 seems to run fine, but this JSON data type has me frustrated.

Thanks
JS
