Functionality Added or Changed

• Connector/Python is now compatible with Django 1.8. (Bug #76752, Bug #20987205)

Bugs Fixed

• When using the C Extension with raise_on_warnings=True, errors were not thrown as exceptions when an executed statement produced an error, and it was not possible to reuse the cursor if the statement produced a result set. (Bug #21536507)

• When using the C Extension, character decoding of identifiers (database, table, column names) in result sets could fail. (Bug #21535573)

• When using the C Extension with the auth_plugin option, connect() calls failed. (Bug #21529781)

• In connections for which consume_results=True, callproc() could hang. (Bug #21492815)

• Connections failed if the password began or ended with spaces because they were being stripped before the connection attempt. (Bug #21492428)

• Connection failure occurred for accounts authenticated with the sha256_password authentication plugin that had a blank password. (Bug #21420906)

• RPM packages of Connector/Python were missing some required __init_py__ files. (Bug #77819, Bug #21505096)

• Connector/Python failed to complete the connection handshake with MySQL Server 5.5.8. (Bug #77040, Bug #21090014)

• Connector/Python hung until timeout if the query it was running was killed. (Bug #76156, Bug #20653441)

• Writing to a table with a BinaryField from Django resulted in a UnicodeDecodeError exception. (Bug #75175, Bug #21054559)
