Oracle does not really have 'security updates'. They provide 'patch level' releases which contain bug fixes, sometimes new features, and also security fixes. However, between patch level versions they should not be making API changes that break your app. In this case, generating a warning is not really an API level change but it can cause things perceived as 'breakage' in many scenarios.
I wanted to emphasize that upstream, Oracle has accepted the bug report about the deprecation warning being introduced in a patch level release. https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=112089 If this means that they might revert this behavior again in an upcoming patch level release or maybe keep it as a 'known issue', I'm not sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Debian Perl Group, which is subscribed to libdbd-mysql-perl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2031548 Title: 8.0.34 client lib change in behavior/output - new warning - breaking apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mysql-server/+bug/2031548/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~pkg-perl-maintainers Post to : pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~pkg-perl-maintainers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
