This is version 1.4 of the Python interface for the MySQL database.
Version 1.4 fixes a bug in 1.3 that under certain conditions
will make python segfault. All users are urged to upgrade.

   Version 1.4 (JS 10/03/1998):
      - Another segfault fix from Richard Fish (rjf@estinc.com).
        STH reference counting off by one for server side storage.
      - Patch to return unsigned longs from Ladislav Lhotka (lhotka@jcu.cz).
        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      - The home-made escape_chars() has been replaced by a call to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
      - Unsigned fields return PyLongs instead of PyInts.
      - Support compilation on NT systems by Nigel Head (nhead@houbits.com).
