MySQL Proxy 0.8.1 has been released

[Jan Kneschke]

Dear MySQL Users,

We are pleased to announce MySQL Proxy 0.8.1, a alpha release.

It makes the admin plugin more useful by reporting better errors and explicitly enforces
the options --admin-username, --admin-password and --admin-lua-script. We also bundle 
a simple admin script that you can use as a starting-point for your own developments
in lib/admin.lua.
