An all-D MySQL/MariaDB client library:

------------------------------

I've tagged a release candidate ("v2.0.0-rc1") which, among other 
various enhancements and cleanups, includes a redesign of prepared 
statements which are now connection-independent (among other benefits).

If you use prepared statements, this *does* involve some small breaking 
changes. A migration guide is provided here:

Motivations and the specific changes for prepared statements are 
explained here:
