I've fixed a few bugs and made some improvements to the code, and I've written some documentation (yes, really!) for two MySQL UDF projects that I've created. Here comes the 1.0 releases!
mysql-posixmq provides the POSIX message queue IPC API for use in SQL queries. This is cool because it allows the user interface to communicate directly with a backend running on the MySQL server, via the MySQL connection. It is also cool because the IPC functions can be called from within triggers, stored procedures and stored functions. This allows a backend which wants to process data in the database to respond immediately when the data is coming in. Check out the README, or grab the 1.0 tarball.
mysql-sha256 is simply the SHA-256 hash function for use in MySQL. Stop using MD5 and SHA-1 already! There's a README, and the 1.0 tarball.
Please send me your patches, praise, complaints and comments!
