MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.17 has been released

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Node.js is a new Node.js driver for use with the X
DevAPI. This release, v8.0.17, is a maintenance release of the
MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0 series.

The X DevAPI enables application developers to write code that combines
the strengths of the relational and document models using a modern,
NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience writing
traditional SQL.

MySQL Connector/Node.js can be downloaded through npm (see
  https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mysql/xdevapi for details) or from
  https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/nodejs/.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/.
For more information about how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL
Connector/Node.js, and its usage, see
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-nodejs/.

Please note that the X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version
8.0 or higher with the X Plugin enabled. For general documentation
about how to get started using MySQL as a document store, see
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/document-store.html.

Changes in MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.17 (2019-07-22,
General Availability)

Functionality Added or Changed


     * Document fields containing arrays can now be indexed by
       setting array to true in an index fields definition.

     * Added support for the OVERLAPS and NOT OVERLAPS
       operators; which is equivalent to the SQL JSON_OVERLAPS()
       function.
       These binary operators are used with a general
       "expression operator expression" syntax; and the
       expressions return a JSON array or object. Example usage:
       [1, 2, 3] overlaps $.list

     * Added support for the utf8mb4_0900_bin collation added in
       MySQL Server 8.0.17.

     * The bundled README.md file was split and reformatted with
       some content moved into the new README.txt and
       CONTRIBUTING.md files.

Bugs Fixed


     * The SQL CAST function did not work as a valid lookup
       expression. (Bug #29807792)

     * Added backtick support for table column identifiers in
       valid expressions. (Bug #29789818)

     * The DIV binary and NOT unary operators are now allowed;
       and are case-insensitive. (Bug #29771833, Bug #29771027)

     * Collection.find() now supports the JavaScript Date type.
       (Bug #29766014)

     * The collection.dropIndex method now silently fails if the
       index does not exist, as expected, when before it
       generated a "Can't DROP" error. (Bug #29765589)

     * Column.getCollationName() would potentially return the
       incorrect name. (Bug #29704185)
