MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.19 has been released

[Gipson Pulla]

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Node.js is a new Node.js driver for use with the X
DevAPI. This release, v8.0.19, 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 8.0.19 (2020-01-13, General Availability)

Functionality Added or Changed

     * Added DNS SRV support.
       Using the mysqlx+srv scheme+extension in a connection
       string (or enabling the resolveSrv option in a connection
       configuration object) allows to automatically resolve any
       SRV record available in a target DNS server or service
       discovery endpoint.

     * Improved the CRUD API error messages. (Bug #30423556)

     * The getAffectedItemsCount() method did not function on
       result sets in v8.0.18. (Bug #30401962)

     * The Collection.existsInDatabase() method did not
       function. (Bug #30401432)
