Changes

Backward incompatible changes planned in the future.

v1.1.1

Release date: 2024-05-21

This release fixes a vulnerability (CVE-2024-36039). All users are recommended to update to this version.

If you can not update soon, check the input value from untrusted source has an expected type. Only dict input from untrusted source can be an attack vector.

Prohibit dict parameter for Cursor.execute(). It didn't produce valid SQL and might cause SQL injection. (CVE-2024-36039)

v1.1.0

Release date: 2023-06-26

Fixed SSCursor raising OperationalError for query timeouts on wrong statement (#1032)
Exposed Cursor.warning_count to check for warnings without additional query (#1056)

Cursor.fetchall() returns empty list instead of tuple (#1115). Note that Cursor.fetchmany() still return empty tuple after reading all rows for compatibility with Django.
Deprecate Error classes in Cursor class (#1117)
Add Connection.set_character_set(charset, collation=None). This method is compatible with mysqlclient. (#1119)
Deprecate Connection.set_charset(charset) (#1119)
New connection always send "SET NAMES charset [COLLATE collation]" query. (#1119) Since collation table is vary on MySQL server versions, collation in handshake is fragile.
Support charset="utf8mb3" option (#1127)
