Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Python 8.0.6-rc is the first release candidate version
of the MySQL Connector Python 8.0 series. This series adds support for

using a modern, NoSQL-like syntax that does not assume previous
experience writing traditional SQL.

about how the X DevAPI is implemented in MySQL Connector/Python, and its
