Changes in MySQL Connector/Node.js 8.0.9 (2018-01-30, Release Candidate)

• Functionality Added or Changed

• Bugs Fixed

Functionality Added or Changed

• Improved the UUID generation algorithm to align with RFC 4122, reducing the chance of generating duplicated values in a relatively short time. (Bug #26120588)

• X DevAPI: In the process of refining the definition of the X DevAPI to cover the most relevant usage scenarios, the following API components have been removed from the X DevAPI implementation for Connector/Node.js:

  • API components that support session configurations, such as the SessionConfig and SessionConfigManager classes.

  • The mysqlx.config namespace and all methods of the namespace, including save(), get(), list(), and delete().

  • The Schema class methods createTable(), foreignKey(), dropTable(), createView(), dropView(), and alterView().

  (WL #11323, WL #11413)

• Added the Session methods listed here:

  • Session.setSavePoint: accepts a name or generates one of the form connector-nodejs-{uuid}, and returns a Promise.

  • Session.releaseSavePoint: releases a specific savepoint.

  • Session.rollbackTo: rollbacks to a specified savepoint.

  (WL #11223)

• The createIndex() method was added to the Collection API. (WL #11152)

Bugs Fixed

• The expression parser used by the CRUD API was replaced with a new implementation written in pure JavaScript, which fixes several grammar related issues. (Bug #26729768, Bug #26636956, Bug #25036336, Bug #23148246, WL #11156)

• The CollectionFind.fields() method now supports flexible parameters to align with standard X DevAPI conventions. (Bug #22084545)
