Maxwell 1.7 brings 2 major new, alpha features. The first is Mysql 5.7
support, including JSON column type support and handling of 5.7 SQL, but
not including GTID support yet. This is based on porting Maxwell to
Stanley Shyko's binlog-connector library. Thanks to Stanley for his
amazing support doing this port.
The second major new feature is a producer for Amazon's Kinesis streams,
This was contributed in full by the dogged and persistent Thomas Dziedzic.
Check it out with --producer=kinesis.
There's also some bugfixes:
- Amazon RDS heartbeat events now tick maxwell's position, thx Scott Ferguson
- allow CHECK() statements inside column definitions
