mysql-proxy 0.5.1 gets ready, next steps

[Jan Kneschke]

0.5.1 has been tagged and we can now getting ready to ship it to the servers.

It fixes the issues reported here on the forum and adds a first set of lua-scripts as examples.

With 0.6.0 I plan to add connection pooling to the proxy which will open a whole new set of possible features. What else would you like to see in the proxy ?
