This is version 1.4 of the Python interface for the MySQL database. Version 1.4 fixes a bug in 1.3 that under certain conditions will make python segfault. All users are urged to upgrade. Version 1.4 (JS 10/03/1998): - Another segfault fix from Richard Fish (rjf@estinc.com). STH reference counting off by one for server side storage. - Patch to return unsigned longs from Ladislav Lhotka (lhotka@jcu.cz). If the mysql field has the UNSIGNED attribute set, we need to suppress the sign bit evaluation and return a PyLong instead of a PyInt. - The home-made escape_chars() has been replaced by a call to mysql_escape_string(), requiring at least 3.21.30 for correct operation. - listfields() and fields() now return the information: o usign - field has the UNSIGNED attribute set - Unsigned fields return PyLongs instead of PyInts. - Support compilation on NT systems by Nigel Head (nhead@houbits.com).
