Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/C++ 8.0.18 is a new release version of the MySQL
Connector/C++ 8.0 series.

Connector/C++ 8.0 can be used to access MySQL implementing Document
Store or in a traditional way, using SQL queries. It allows writing
both C++ and plain C applications using X DevAPI and X DevAPI for C.
It also supports the legacy API of Connector/C++ 1.1 based on JDBC4.

To learn more about how to write applications using X DevAPI, see
“X DevAPI User Guide” at

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/

See also “X DevAPI Reference” at

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/devapi_ref.html

and “X DevAPI for C Reference” at

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/xapi_ref.html
