Notable Updates

• CONPY-46: Implemented __enter__() and __exit__() methods for with statement (PEP-343). These methods are available now for connection and cursor class.

• CONPY-47: When sending parameters PyBool_Type wasn't supported. In case a boolean type (True/False) will be provided as a parameter, it will be converted to a tinyint (MYSQL_TYPE_TINY).

• CONPY-48: Accept List of parameters for execute() method

• CONPY-49: Added support for Decimal type

  • Wnen sending a decimal.Decimal parameter, value will be converted to string and send with type MYSQL_TYPE_NEWDECIMAL to server.

• CONPY-51: Store field_count internelly for buffered cursors to prevent overriding/clearing the value by connection methods which directly send commands to database server.
