   Bugs Fixed

     * The Fabric connection configuration permitted username but not
       user as a parameter name, which is inconsistent with the
       connection arguments permitted by Connector/Python itself. Now
       either can be used. (Using both raises a ValueError.) (Bug
       #18463182)

     * In the MySQLProtocol._auth_response method of the
       mysql.connector.protocol module, the auth_response variable
       was changed without being defined first. (Bug #18463182)

     * Commercial Debian Connector/Python packages included a
       copyright file containing a GPL license. (Bug #18422727)

     * Building an RPM package using python setup.py bdist_rpm did
       not work. (Bug #72261, Bug #18550039)

     * The community MSI Connector/Python packages contained empty
       documentation PDF and HTML files. These have been removed and
       replaced with the README_DOCS.txt file which contains a URL to
       the online manual. (Bug #72245, Bug #18527132)

     * For Python 3, when parameters were passed as a dictionary to
       the MySQLCursor methods execute() and executemany(), only
       first occurrence of each element in the query was replaced by
       the parameter value. (Bug #71975, Bug #18389196)

     * when MySQLCursor.execute() was passed values of a data type
       which cannot be converted, the exception raised was not easy
       to understand. Now a nicer error message is displayed when
       unconvertible Python types are given. (Bug #71729, Bug
       #18258807)

     * Connector/Python raised all deprecation warnings as errors
       when Django was run in debug mode. Now only database warnings
       are raised as errors in debug mode. (Bug #71806, Bug
       #18380134)
