Brian Aker and I have been working hard in the last few weeks to give you a great Christmas present, Libdrizzle 5.1.0.  The MySQL compatible, BSD licensed C connector (so static compiling with commercial software gets the thumbs up!).

The latest changes include:

• A server-side prepared statement API
• Improved binary log API
• An example binary log remote retrieval utility using the binlog API called "drizzle_binlogs"
• A new build system, DDM4 which is used by Gearman and Memcached
• Many bugs fixes

The source and manuals can be found on the Launchpad downloads page.  Please enjoy, feel free to file bugs, questions and hack on code on our Launchpad page.  Happy holidays to all!
