I wouldn't take the documentation so personally, especially since the particular parts you quoted are just copies of the DBD::mysql documentation. I would suggest getting more familiar with the history of the need for the fork, which I can summarize as: Many people over the years report the Unicode bug, the maintainers do nothing, Pali contributes a fix to the Unicode bug, it breaks existing code and is reverted along with a large amount of other important fixes, the maintainers continue to do nothing, Pali and GoodData fork the module, the maintainers start reapplying fixes to DBD::mysql that were previously reverted. Also, the name choice is unfortunate and I disagreed with it at the time but neither DBD::mysql nor DBD::MariaDB have shown any intention of only supporting one or the other so far. |

And feel free to look up the relevant mailing list threads yourself if you think my viewpoint is too biased, but please take note of the dates of posts and commits on the repo while bugs and broken behavior persisted. | [reply] |
