Drizzle Client & Protocol Library 0.1 Released!

I’m happy to announce the first release of the new libdrizzle. This is a complete rewrite of the protocol and client interface for the Drizzle project and provides new functionality that the old library based on MySQL code did not offer. Oh, and this new library supports both Drizzle and MySQL protocols, so you can use it with MySQL servers as well!

So, what’s different?

• BSD License.
• Complete non-blocking I/O support.
• Concurrent query interface, letting you run multiple queries at the same time on any number of servers.
• Improved buffering support. Instead of just result and row buffering, you can also buffer per field, or not at all (reading fields in chunks). This can be very useful for streaming large blobs through your client.
• Complete server protocol implementation, not just client. This allows you to slap a Drizzle/MySQL compatible server interface on just about anything quickly, or write your own customer proxy server.

I’ll blog about more of these in detail later. For now, go to the download page and test it out!
