Minor update to mysql-native: A client driver for MySQL/MariaDB written natively in D from scratch via the published protocol specs, with no dependency on the C MySQL client library. Supports either Phobos or Vide.d sockets (works with or without Vibe.d).

https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native
DUB: http://code.dlang.org/packages/mysql-native

In v0.1.7:
- New: Test suite automatically tests with both Vibe and Phobos sockets, not just Phobos. (@Abscissa)
- Change: Drop support for DMDFE 2.066.1 and below. Compiles on DMDFE 2.067.1 through 2.072.0.
- Fixed: Fix an import deprecation message for DMD 2.071. (@Abscissa)
- Fixed: #57: Added support for passing null parameters in prepared statements by using Variant(null) (@machindertech)
- Fixed: #63/#69: Add escape module to package import (@Marenz)
- Fixed: #68: Update alias syntax (@Marenz)

Full changelog:
https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

I know I've said docs and examples are a top priority for mysql-native, but it's become clear that the API is in serious need of a refresh, so for the most part, I've held off on the docs this time to avoid wasted effort documenting to-be-deprecated interfaces.

Unless any pressing issues appear, expect the next release to be an experimental branch showcasing a beta of a new API. If possible, I'd like to have at least one release where the old API is still functional, but deprecated.

Please consider to look at the APIs of the other mysql libs, maybe there is one
which you can use. I found it easier to use the APIs of  mysql-d (https://github.com/paxa/mysql.d) but mysql-lited (https://github.com/eBookingServices/mysql-lited) looks more enhanced. But here too:

I would be very happy, if in the end there would be only one superior mysql-lib for D, so
all can work together to improve this one.

Hmm, actually, there appears to be a lot of similarity with part of what I had in mind:

https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native/issues/83

In particular, I *really* want to pretty much get rid of the Command struct. Minimizing heap activity is also a goal, albeit separate from this API refresh.

mysql-native gets very few PRs. :(
