- Subject: MySQL Shell 1.0.8 RC has been released
Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Shell 1.0.8 RC is the first release candidate of the MySQL
for MySQL Shell 1.0 series.
The MySQL Shell is an interactive JavaScript, Python and SQL
command-line interface, supporting development and administration for
the MySQL Server. The MySQL Shell includes the X DevAPI that enables
developers to use a new Create Read Update Delete (CRUD) API. MySQL
Shell is a component of the MySQL Server.
This release introduces support for the creation and management of
MySQL InnoDB clusters from MySQL servers with the AdminAPI.
By taking advantage of the new Group Replication technology,
InnoDB clusters provide an integrated solution for high availability
and scalability for InnoDB based MySQL databases, without requiring
advanced MySQL expertise.
And with MySQL Router 2.1, applications can take advantage of a
highly available and scalable MySQL InnoDB cluster with minimal or
no changes in their code.
This is a Developer Release, so we are looking forward to getting
your feedback on the MySQL Shell as well as the new API and all the
other new features.
The MySQL Shell provides
* MySQL High Availability and Scaling API: AdminAPI
* Both Interactive and Batch operations
* JavaScript, Python, and SQL language modes
* Document and Relational Models
* CRUD Document and Relational API: DevAPI
* Output results in Traditional Table, JSON, and Tab Separated formats
* And much more

======================================================================
Changes in MySQL Shell 1.0.8 (2017-03-06)
* Functionality Added or Changed
* Bugs Fixed
Functionality Added or Changed
* The URI is now a positional argument when starting MySQL
Shell at the command line. (Bug #25077429)
* In the MySQL Shell Python X DevAPI implementation the
mysqlx and mysql modules have been moved into the new
mysqlsh module. This changes the way you import the
modules, now you should issue:
mysql-py> from mysqlsh import mysql
mysql-py> from mysqlsh import mysqlx
(Bug #25030138)
* XSessions have been removed, which means the --x command
option is deprecated. The default session is now a
NodeSession. (Bug #24958348, Bug #83553)
* The stored sessions functionality has been removed.
(Bug #24949016, Bug #83530)
* MySQL Shell version 1.0.8 includes the newly released
AdminAPI available in JavaScript and Python which enables
you to set up and manage InnoDB clusters. It provides a
modern fluent API which wraps the complexity associated
with configuring, provisioning and managing an InnoDB
cluster, without sacrificing power, flexibility or
security.
Bugs Fixed
* When using Python mode, assigning a key element that was
identified as a type could cause an unexpected halt. The
fix ensures that keys which are strings are correctly
identified as such as are interpreted as keys.
(Bug #25191539)
* Attempting to create a connection with the wrong user or
password on Linux resulted in an Error Unknown option
trace_protocol message being displayed. The fix ensures
that the correct ERROR: 1045 (28000): Access denied for
user error is displayed. (Bug #25071433, Bug #83759)
* Statements that were not executed, for example due to a
syntax error, were not being added to the command
history. This has been improved so that any statement is
added to the command history and can be accessed using
the up and down cursor keys. Additionally the internal
MySQL Shell are now added to the command history.
(Bug #24967864)
References: See also: Bug #24669771.
* When MySQL Shell had an open connection and was in SQL
mode, pressing Control-C caused an unexpected halt.
(Bug #24812731)
References: See also: Bug #24663772, Bug #23065126.
* The output of the \help command has been updated to
include all of the available global objects.
(Bug #24764191)
* When using the shell.prompt() function, providing an
invalid type was not generating the appropriate error.
(Bug #24763825)
* The way MySQL Shell processes commands has been improved
to properly handle spaces in the command line, and
support was added for quoted parameters when spaces are
used. To pass a parameter with spaces surround it with
double quotes, and if double quotes are part of the
parameter they can be escaped using \". (Bug #24762017)
* Primitive numeric types and booleans were not being
automatically converted between each other following the
Python type conversion rules. The fix ensures that a
statement such as dba.verbose=1 is valid, in other words
when a == b is true, then b is assignable to a as is
typical in Python. (Bug #24744707)
* Using --log-level=5 or greater wrote passwords to the log
as plain text. (Bug #24735878)
* The --log-level command option can now use named log
levels such as debug3. (Bug #24735532)
* When an SQL statement followed the terminating character
of an SQL comment that ended with */ it could result in
unexpected behavior because the first character of the
statement following the comment was being ignored. The
fix ensures inline comments in SQL statements are
correctly parsed. (Bug #24671436)
* Results output when using the --json option now go inside
of a JSON object. (Bug #24575611)
* When using the help, space characters at the end of a
line were causing the requested help topic to not be
found. (Bug #24522689)
* When using SQL mode the usage of single quotes in
escaping has been made consistent with the handing in
MySQL, for example SELECT '''' as a;.
(Bug #24380669, Bug #82381)
* The help for XSession was suggesting SQL mode was
available which was incorrect. (Bug #23065163)
* When using SQL mode the command history was removing the
semicolon from the end of previously issued lines
(Bug #21390737)
