Drizzle Redux is a project which aims to breathe new life into the libdrizzle C connector. It is designed to allow you to connect to and query a MySQL database server using a simple API.
Libdrizzle-redux in the sociomantic tsunami repository is a fork of the official v5.1.4 Felmingham at https://launchpad.net/libdrizzle.
The primary reason for the fork is that development of the upstream stopped in 2013 which meant that crucial fixes and enhancements were not included in the latest stable release v5.1.4 Felmingham.
We hope that continuing the development of libdrizzle-redux can benefit current and future users of the library.

Latest stable release notes | All
The release process libdrizzle-redux is based on SemVer versioning as described here. This means that the major version is increased for breaking changes, the minor version is increased for feature releases, and the patch version is increased for bug fixes that don't cause breaking changes.
Releases are handled using GitHub releases. The notes associated with a major or minor GitHub release are designed to help developers to migrate from one version to another. The changes listed are the steps you need to take to move from the previous version to the one listed.
Building the library using MinGW is unfortunately broken at the moment. We apologize for any inconveniences and promise to look into the issue as soon as possible.
