This release is a complete overhaul of the CI system and dub files. Instead of using travis-ci (which now requires "credits", and I burned through all the free credits in one test run), it is using github actions. This also has the benefit of running much faster, though the integration tests no longer run on Windows or MacOS (this is a current limitation of github that I expect eventually will be solved). Very little has changed in terms of functionality, the exception being a now-default collation of utf8mb4 (as recommended [here](https://adamhooper.medium.com/in-mysql-never-use-utf8-use-utf8mb4-11761243e434)).

The recent issue with DMD 2.095 (specifically dub) not being able to build with mysql-native should be resolved.

Please see the [changelog](https://github.com/mysql-d/mysql-native/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) for release notes. File any issues on the github project, especially any issues with your project no longer building with it.

Next I will likely be releasing the safe update (after I rebase it onto this new layout).

Thanks for the work you, singingbush, et al., are putting into this project. Besides the glorious @safe update, any thoughts on supporting TLS connections? (Ideally, one's path to the DB wouldn't be routed outside of a protected network, but such is life.)

I'm not sure when it will happen, but we do have to involve TLS for default mysql-8 authentication (currently, you must switch from the default in mysql-8 in order to use mysql-native).

Given that vibe already supports TLS connections, it shouldn't be too difficult to make it work with vibe. Using Phobos sockets, we probably have to support TLS directly, which isn't as pleasant.

I also want to support other types of connections (Unix sockets, etc.) but not sure when any of that will happen.

The safe update is a priority, because the PR is already way out of date with these recent changes, and it's a big PR.
