v1.4.18

Release Date: July 29, 2021

Features

New features and changes in this release:

You can configure extra binding URI parameters on MySQL, MariaDB, Aurora, and Postgres plans using the Additional custom query params on binding URI field. You can use these parameters as hints for application database connectors that are not properly connecting.

Resolved Issues

This release fixes the following issue:

You can now provision Aurora MySQL v5.7 and later instances. You must specify “aurora-mysql” as the engine name. AWS changed the name of the aurora engine starting in v5.7 compatible versions.
You can now provision Postgres v10 and later instances. AWS changed the naming convention of the parameter group family starting in Postgres v10.
Fixed an issue where you could no longer bind to SQL server instances. This issue occurred when the broker was pushed to a TAS for VMs with newer golang buildpacks, and was due to changes in go/sql standard libraries.

Maintenance Changes

Maintenance changes in this release:

Upgrades versions of all database driver libraries. These dependencies require a TAS for VMs foundation with a golang v1.14 and later buildpack. This is not considered to be a breaking change because Go v1.14 is already out of general support.

The help text for the RDS Aurora engine field incorrectly suggests using aurora_mysql with an underscore. The correct name is aurora-mysql with a hyphen.
