Changes for version 1.24 - 2025-05-04
- Add a test for large BLOB with parameter
- Fix Dave Labley's broken e-mail address
- Stop parsing a column named "limits" as the LIMIT keyword (https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-MariaDB/issues/208)
- Various test fixes (e.g. no dead loop in t/87async.t, remembering the value of --testauthplugin for repeated Makefile.PL runs, support for the Embedded server, explicit disconnect after testing the connection)
- Better handling of the Embedded server (e.g. fix mariadb_hostinfo and SQL_SERVER_NAME, no support for async queries and mariadb_max_allowed_packets, extended documentation of mariadb_embedded_options)
- Add new Makefile.PL option --requireembsup (and a corresponding env variable DBD_MARIADB_REQUIREEMBSUP) to ensure the client library's support for the Embedded server
- More support and fixes for new MySQL 8 features (mariadb_auto_reconnect for 8.0.24+, SSL options for MySQL 8.3.0+, bind params for 8.3.0+)
- Documentation of empty versus undefined password
- Stop calling mariadb_db_reconnect when changing $dbh attributes unless it's really needed
- On MSWin32, non-socket connections do not use WINAPI HANDLE
- Fix type (MEDIMUMBLOB -> MEDIUMBLOB)
- Handle new SSL error messages in tests (https://github.com/perl5-dbi/DBD-MariaDB/issues/209)
