New Options
| Option | Description | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| `collation` | (used in replacement of charset) Permit to defined collation used for connection. This will defined the charset encoding used for exchanges with database and defines the order used when comparing strings. It's mainly used for micro-optimizations | *string* | UTF8MB4_UNICODE_CI |
| `permitConnectionWhenExpired` | Permit a user with expired password to connect. Only possible operation in this case will be to change password ('SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('XXX')') | *boolean* | false |
The option `charset` now corresponds to charset, still permitting collation for compatibility, but then a warning is thrown to console.
