New rubygems release?

[rsanheim]

Heya 👋 - any chance a maintainer could ship a new rubygems release? Looks like the latest release was Feb 2024, and there have been some significant improvements to mainline since then: 0.5.6...master

Thanks y'all!

Yes any news on this, please?
MySQL 8.4 has now changed the default authentication plugin so the current release of this gem fails to connect

@sodabrew is there anything we can do to get a new version released? Happy to help work on some PRs if there are some things you'd like done before the next release.

@sodabrew Please consider a release for #1399. If there's some kind of "yeah, but first I need to..." dread task holding you back, please share. Perhaps we can help.

I'll ship a new version in a few weeks (the end of September) unless anyone has objections (or if someone beats me to it 😅)

Shipped 0.5.7. LMK if it broke anything 😅

Thanks, Aaron!

We have a bunch of installation tests for mysql2 on Mac runners that I can check. Hopefully this release makes it easier to install on MacOS but I'll report back if there are any new issues.

[HeyNonster]

On our MacOS runners, this is now the minimum needed to install mysql2:

brew install zstd
gem install mysql2 -v 0.5.7

We no longer have to set ldflags! 🥳
