MySQL Connector/C++ 2.0.4 is the next development milestone of the MySQL

Connector/C++ 2.0 series. Connector/C++ 2.0 can be used to access MySQL
implementing Document Store or in a traditional way, using SQL queries. It
allows writing both C++ applications using X DevAPI or plain C applications
using XAPI.

To learn more about how to write applications using X DevAPI, see X
DevAPI User Guide (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/) and X
DevAPI reference at
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/devapi_ref.html. For more
information about using plain C XAPI see XAPI reference at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/xapi_ref.html. For generic
information on using Connector/C++ 2.0, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/.

Note

Connector/C++ 2.0 requires MySQL Server version 5.7.12 or higher
with X Plugin enabled. For general documentation about how to get
started using MySQL as a document store, see Using MySQL as a Document
Store (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/document-store.html).

Changes in MySQL Connector/C++ 2.0.4 (2017-03-21, Development
Milestone)

Functionality Added or Changed

• Support was added for secure sessions over TLS
  connections. A secure session can be requested either via
  the ssl-enable and ssl-ca options of a connection string,
  or using explicit session creation options. For X DevAPI
  session settings, see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/classmysqlx_1_1_session_settings.html.
  For XAPI session settings, see
  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-cpp/group__xapi.html
  (check the documentation for enum mysqlx_opt_type_t).
• The format of document ID values generated when adding
  documents to a collation has changed. It is still a
  string of 32 hexadecimal digits based on UUID, but the
  order of digits was changed to match the requirement of a
  stable ID prefix.
• The X DevAPI Schema object now supports methods for view
  manipulation: createView(), alterView(), and dropView().
  XAPI now contains functions that implement similar
  functionality: mysqlx_view_create(),
  mysqlx_view_replace(), mysqlx_view_modify(), and
  (implemented previously) mysqlx_view_drop().
  As with other XAPI operations, there are functions that
  create a statement handle without executing it:
  mysqlx_view_create_new(), mysqlx_view_replace_new(), and
  mysqlx_view_modify_new().
  These XAPI functions modify view DDL statements before
  execution: mysqlx_set_view_algorithm(),
  mysqlx_set_view_security(),
  mysqlx_set_view_check_option(),
  mysqlx_set_view_definer(), and mysqlx_set_view_columns().
• Connector/C++ now supports IPv6 target hosts in
  connection strings and when creating sessions using other
  methods.

Bugs Fixed

• When rList is an empty list, table.insert().rows(rList)
  caused a segmentation fault. (Bug #25515964)
