3.3.0 (2019-12-10)

• Update Python support to 3.5-3.8.

• Fix GroupConcat to work with both separator and ordering set. (PR #596).

3.2.0 (2019-06-14)

• Django 2.1 compatibility - no code changes were required, releasing for PyPI trove classifiers and documentation.

2.4.0 (2018-07-31)

• Added JSONArrayAppend database function that wraps the respective JSON-modifying function from MySQL 5.7.

2.3.1 (2018-07-22)

• Made EnumField escape its arguments in a pymysql-friendly fashion.

2.3.0 (2018-06-19)

• Started testing with MariaDB 10.3.
• Changed GlobalStatus.wait_until_load_low() to increase the default number of allowed running threads from 5 to 10, to account for the new default threads in MariaDB 10.3.
• Added encoder and decoder arguments to JSONField for customizing the way JSON is encoded and decoded from the database.
• Added a touch method to the MySQLCache to refresh cache keys, as added in Django 2.1.
• Use a temporary database connection in system checks to avoid application startup stalls.

2.2.2 (2018-04-24)

• Fixed some crashes from DynamicField instances without explicit spec definitions.
• Fixed a crash in system checks for ListCharField and SetCharField instances missing max_length.

2.2.1 (2018-04-14)

• Fixed JSONField.deconstruct() to not break the path for subclasses.

2.2.0 (2017-12-04)

• Add output_field argument to JSONExtract function.
• Improved DB version checks for JSONField and DynamicField so you can have just one connection that supports them.
• Django 2.0 compatibility.

2.1.1 (2017-10-10)

• Changed subprocess imports for compatibility with Google App Engine.
• (Insert new release notes below this line)
• Made MySQLCache.set_many return a list as per Django 2.0.

2.1.0 (2017-06-11)

• Django 1.11 compatibility
• Some fixes to work with new versions of mysqlclient

2.0.0 (2017-05-28)

• Fixed JSONField model field string serialization. This is a small backwards incompatible change.

  Storing strings mostly used to crash with MySQL error -1 "error totally whack", but in the case your string was valid JSON, it would store it as a JSON object at the MySQL layer and deserialize it when returned. For example you could do this:

  >>> mymodel.attrs = '{"foo": "bar"}'
  >>> mymodel.save()
  >>> mymodel = MyModel.objects.get(id=mymodel.id)
  >>> mymodel.attrs
  {'foo': 'bar'}

  The new behaviour now correctly returns what you put in:

  >>> mymodel.attrs
  '{"foo": "bar"}'

• Removed the connection.is_mariadb monkey patch. This is a small backwards incompatible change. Instead of using it, use django_mysql.utils.connection_is_mariadb.

1.2.0 (2017-05-14)

• Only use Django's vendored six (django.utils.six). Fixes usage of EnumField and field lookups when six is not installed as a standalone package.
• Added JSONInsert, JSONReplace and JSONSet database functions that wraps the respective JSON-modifying functions from MySQL 5.7.
• Fixed JSONField to work with Django's serializer framework, as used in e.g. dumpdata.
• Fixed JSONField form field so that it doesn't overquote inputs when redisplaying the form due to invalid user input.

1.1.1 (2017-03-28)

• Don't allow NaN in JSONField because MySQL doesn't support it

1.1.0 (2016-07-22)

• Dropped Django 1.7 support
• Made the query hint functions raise RuntimeError if you haven't activated the query-rewriting layer in settings.

1.0.9 (2016-05-12)

• Fixed some features to work when there are non-MySQL databases configured
• Fixed JSONField to allow control characters, which MySQL does - but not in a top-level string, only inside a JSON object/array.

1.0.8 (2016-04-08)

• SmartChunkedIterator now fails properly for models whose primary key is a non-integer foreign key.
• pty is no longer imported at the top-level in django_mysql.utils, fixing Windows compatibility.

1.0.7 (2016-03-04)

• Added new JSONField class backed by the JSON type added in MySQL 5.7.
• Added database functions JSONExtract, JSONKeys, and JSONLength that wrap the JSON functions added in MySQL 5.7, which can be used with the JSON type columns as well as JSON data held in text/varchar columns.

1.0.6 (2016-02-26)

• Now MySQL 5.7 compatible
• The final message from SmartChunkedIterator is now rounded to the nearest second.

1.0.5 (2016-02-10)

• Added manage.py command fix_datetime_columns that outputs the SQL necessary to fix any datetime columns into datetime(6), as required when upgrading a database to MySQL 5.6+, or MariaDB 5.3+.

1.0.4 (2016-02-02)

• Fixed the new system checks to actually work

1.0.3 (2016-02-02)

• Fixed EnumField so that it works properly with forms, and does not accept the max_length argument.
• SmartChunkedIterator output has been fixed for reversed iteration, and now includes a time estimate.
• Added three system checks that give warnings if the MySQL configuration can (probably) be improved.

1.0.2 (2016-01-24)

• New function add_QuerySetMixin allows addding the QuerySetMixin to arbitrary QuerySets, for when you can't edit a model class.
• Added field class EnumField that uses MySQL's ENUM data type.

1.0.1 (2015-11-18)

• Added chunk_min argument to SmartChunkedIterator

1.0.0 (2015-10-29)

• Changed version number to 1.0.0 to indicate maturity.
• Added DynamicField for using MariaDB's Named Dynamic Columns, and related database functions ColumnAdd, ColumnDelete, and ColumnGet.
• SmartChunkedIterator with report_progress=True correctly reports 'lowest pk so far' when iterating in reverse.

• Added Bit1BooleanField and NullBit1BooleanField model fields that work with boolean fields built by other databases that use the BIT(1) column type
