Changes in MySQL Connector/Python 2.1.7 (2017-08-18, General Availability)


     * Functionality Added or Changed

     * Bugs Fixed

   Functionality Added or Changed

     * Connector/Python is now compatible with Django 1.11.
       Thanks to Brian Tyndall for the patch for some of the
       work. (Bug #25965922, Bug #86105, Bug #26257499, Bug
       #86652)

     * Connector/Python now attempts to connect using TLS by
       default if the server supports secure connections. (Bug
       #21947091)

   Bugs Fixed

     * Prepared statements did not work with a MySQL 8.0 server.
       (Bug #26376334)

     * With a connection character set of utf8mb4, multiple-row
       insert operations failed with an error of LookupError:
       unknown encoding: utf8mb4. (Bug #24659561, Bug #82948)

     * Creating a Connection instance with use_pure=True could
       lead to the underlying socket not being closed if the
       user name or password were invalid. Thanks to Vilnis
       Termanis for the patch. (Bug #24342757, Bug #82324)

     * For cursors created with named_tuple=True,
       MySQLCursorNamedTuple objects could leak memory. Thanks
       to Piotr Jurkiewicz for the patch on which this fix was
       based. (Bug #22880163, Bug #80621)

     * The C Extension leaked memory if used to execute INSERT
       statements that inserted Unicode strings. (Bug #22825962,
       Bug #79887)

     * The escape_string() method leaked memory. (Bug #22810810,
       Bug #79903)

     * With Python 2.x, for a call to encode('utf8') on a
       bytestring that was serialized from unicode, Python
       attempted to decode the string using the 'ascii' codec
       and encode it back using 'utf8'. The result was encoding
       failure for bytestrings that contain non-ASCII
       characters. (Bug #22564149, Bug #79993)
