The next generation of Libdrizzle with a simplified API and support for more features of the protocol

Description

Drizzle Redux is a project which aims to breathe new life into the libdrizzle C connector. It is designed to allow you to connect to and query a MySQL database server using a simple API.

Libdrizzle-redux in the sociomantic tsunami repository is a fork of the official v5.1.4 Felmingham at https://launchpad.net/libdrizzle.

The primary reason for the fork is that development of the upstream stopped in 2013 which meant that crucial fixes and enhancements were not included in the latest stable release v5.1.4 Felmingham.

We hope that continuing the development of libdrizzle-redux can benefit current and future users of the library.

For more details on new features please refer to the release notes
