Connector/Python now supports Query Attributes when they have been enabled on the server, see Query Attributes for details. New Connector/Python cursor methods for this functionality are
add_attribute(name, value),clear_attributes(), andget_attributes(). Functionality works on both prepared and non-prepared statements. (WL #14237)Connector/Python now implements the authentication_kerberos_client plugin to support Kerberos authentication for classic MySQL protocol connections. (WL #14440)
