Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Node.js is a new Node.js driver for use with the X
DevAPI. This release, v8.0.19, is a maintenance release of the
MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0 series.

The X DevAPI enables application developers to write code that combines
the strengths of the relational and document models using a modern,
NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous experience writing
traditional SQL.

MySQL Connector/Node.js can be downloaded through npm (see
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mysql/xdevapi for details) or from
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/nodejs/.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/.
For more information about how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL
Connector/Node.js, and its usage, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-nodejs/.

Please note that the X DevAPI requires at least MySQL Server version
8.0 or higher with the X Plugin enabled. For general documentation
about how to get started using MySQL as a document store, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/document-store.html.

Changes in MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.19 (2020-01-13, General Availability)

Functionality Added or Changed

• Added DNS SRV support.
  Using the mysqlx+srv scheme+extension in a connection
  string (or enabling the resolveSrv option in a connection
  configuration object) allows to automatically resolve any
  SRV record available in a target DNS server or service
  discovery endpoint.

Bugs Fixed

• Improved the CRUD API error messages. (Bug #30423556)
• The getAffectedItemsCount() method did not function on
  result sets in v8.0.18. (Bug #30401962)
• The Collection.existsInDatabase() method did not
  function. (Bug #30401432)
