Changes in MySQL Connector/Python 1.0.6 (30 August 2012)

Second beta release.

Functionality Added or Changed

Changed name and version of distributions to align with other MySQL projects:
- The version now includes the suffix 'b' for beta and 'a' for alpha followed by a number. This version is used in the source and built distributions. GA versions will have no suffix.
- The RPM spec files have been updated to create packages whose names are aligned with RPMs from other MySQL projects.
Changed how MySQL server errors are mapped to Python exceptions. We now use the SQLState (when available) to raise a better error.
- Incompatibility: some server errors are now raised with a different exception.
- It is possible to override how errors are raised using the mysql.connector.custom_error_exception() function, defined in the mysql.connector.errors module. This can be useful for certain frameworks to align with other database drivers.

Bugs Fixed

Fixed version-specific code so Connector/Python works with Python 3.3. (Bug #14524942)
Fixed MySQLCursorRaw.fetchall() so it does not raise an exception when results are available. (Bug #14517262, Bug #66465)
Fixed installation of version.py on OS X:
- version.py is now correctly installed on OS X in the mysql.connector package. Previously, it was installed through data_files, and version.py ended up in the system-wide package location of Python, from which it could not be imported.
- data_files is not used any longer in setup.py and is removed. Extra files like version.py are now copied in the custom Distutils commands.
(Bug #14483142)
Timeout for unit tests has been set to 10 seconds. Test cases can individually adjust it to be higher or lower. (Bug #14487502)
Fixed test cases in test_mysql_database.py that failed when using YEAR(2) with MySQL 5.6.6 and greater. (Bug #14460680)
Fixed SSL unit testing for source distributions:
- The SSL keys and certificates were missing and are now added to the source distribution. Now SSL testing works properly.
- Additionally for the Windows platform, forward slashes were added to the option file creation so the MySQL server can pick up the needed SSL files.
