MySQL 9 support timeline

[David Beck]

Hello!

It seems that the LiveCode mysql driver does not currently support
authentication with caching_sha2_password, which is required in MySQL
9. mysql_native_password is no longer available. See:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/9.0/en/caching-sha2-pluggable-authentication.html

We ran into this issue because MySQL 8 is being deprecated in Amazon RDS
next year and we are developing a migration plan.

Is there a plan / timeline for adding support for caching_sha2_password /
MySQL 9 ?

Thank you!

David
