Version 1.4 of the Python interface to the MySQL database
is now available. All users of previous versions are urged
to upgrade. MySQLmodule-1.4.tar.gz has been uploaded to
www.tcx.se and ftp.python.org and should be available
shortly.

See also Oliver Andrich's site (thanks for packaging):

http://andrich.net/python/

and hopefully soon at Joe Skinner's page:

Changes:
  Version 1.4 (JS 10/03/1998):
  - Another segfault fix from Richard Fish.
    STH reference counting off by one for server side storage.
  - Patch to return unsigned longs from Ladislav Lhotka.
    If the mysql field has the UNSIGNED attribute set, we need to suppress
    the sign bit evaluation and return a PyLong instead of a PyInt.
  - The home-made escape_chars() has been replaced by a call to
    mysql_escape_string(), requiring at least 3.21.30 for correct
    operation.
  - listfields() and fields() now return the information:
     o usign     - field has the UNSIGNED attribute set
  - Support compilation on NT systems by Nigel Head.
