mysql-native v0.1.7

[Nick Sabalausky via Digitalmars-d-announce]

Minor update to mysql-native: A client driver for MySQL/MariaDB written 
natively in D from scratch via the published protocol specs, with no 
dependency on the C MySQL client library. Supports either Phobos or 
Vide.d sockets (works with or without Vibe.d).

- New: Test suite automatically tests with both Vibe and Phobos sockets, 
not just Phobos. (@Abscissa)

2.067.1 through 2.072.0.

statements by using Variant(null) (@machindertech)

I know I've said docs and examples are a top priority for mysql-native, 
but it's become clear that the API is in serious need of a refresh, so 
for the most part, I've held off on the docs this time to avoid wasted 
effort documenting to-be-deprecated interfaces.

Unless any pressing issues appear, expect the next release to be an 
experimental branch showcasing a beta of a new API. If possible, I'd 
like to have at least one release where the old API is still functional, 
but deprecated.
