Today I am releasing an alpha version of node-mysql v2.0. If you are using v0.9.x at this point, I highly encourage you to try it out, as now is your best chance to influence the API and features of the final release.
Then check out the Upgrading Guide and adjust your code as needed.
After that make sure to join the new mailing list or #node-mysql IRC channel to provide any feedback you may have.
A new Connection class that has well defined semantics (unlike the old Client class).
There will be no v1.0 release, the way 0.9.x handles its queue and reconnect mechanism are broken and not easily fixable without breaking BC.
I will merge critical bug fixes that come with tests and don't break BC.
There will be no major changes, especially features.
The Upgrading Guide link is broken.
