Hello,

I'd like to announce the

	Msql-Mysql-modules 1.21_00

the first experimental version derived from the stable 1.20xx branch.

This experimental branch is dedicated to play with the new DBI
metadata methods, dbish already ought to work. The final goal is to
build completely on an internal, C-level representation of these
methods. Another goal is a new testsuite (not yet included, to follow
soon).

Changes against 1.19_22 (most of these already are in 1.20xx) are:

	* INSTALL: Added a description of the missing-libgcc problem.
	* INSTALL: Added a patch for the mSQL problem with ORDER BY.
	* dbd/dbd.pm.in: Added a description of mSQL's problem with
	  ORDER BY.
	* Fixed pointers to DBI home (was www.hermetica.com, now
	  www.arcana.co.uk)
	* lib/DBD/mysql/Install.pm (Initialize): Added
	  $ENV{'MYSQL_HEADERDIR'} and $ENV{'MYSQL_LIBDIR'}.
	* dbd/dbdimp.c: mysql_fetch_lengths() returns longs under
	  MySQL 3.22.04
	* nodbd/nodbd.pm.in (errno): Fixed missing definition of
	  $self.
	* Makefile.PL (InitializeMysql): Looking for libmysqlclient.a
	  and libmysqlclient.so now.
	* dbd/dbdimp.c (dbd_st_internal_execute): Fixed memory leak,
	  *cdaPtr was not checked for <> NULL. My thanks to Marc
	  Lehmann <pcg@goof.com> for the report.
	* dbd/dbd.pm.in: Added table_info() and type_info_all().


The new distribution is available on any CPAN mirror, in particular

  ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/CPAN/authors/id/JWIED



Thankfull about any feedback,

Jochen
