What's changed

No breaking changes from previous release

The attached pre-built binaries for Linux are built against OpenSSL 3. If you're on a system that still uses an older version of OpenSSL you will need to build the module yourself on that platform.

Prepared Statements are now cached on the database
Lua refreshes that cause the same query to be prepared more than once will now just return the same PStatement object again.

Download the appropriate module for your platform, and copy it to your server's garrysmod/lua/bin folder.

[2021-08-16] Binaries are built on 62e55c5

References to databases and statements are now properly invalidated on disconnect/gc
tmysql.GetTable() now generates a table instead of maintaining and reusing a Lua table
Metamethods properly error when being ran on an invalidated database/statement (and when necessary, disconnected databases also)

Download the appropriate module for your platform, and copy it to your server's garrysmod/lua/bin folder.

(binaries are actually compiled from ec352bf to fix an issue with max-length connection fields and statement preparation)

caching_sha2_password is now statically linked into the provided mariadbclient libs (the module DLL file contains it now)
(this means you can delete caching_sha2_password.dll and .so)

Download the appropriate module for your platform, and copy it to your server's garrysmod/lua/bin folder.

Download the zip archive for your platform, and copy both files included to your server's garrysmod/lua/bin folder.

Big compatibility breakage!
