The release notes on the releases page are in draft form. I've added a note to indicate this, and that DBD::MySql is not in the release.

Update 2025-09-15: The release notes are in draft form only and need to be edited before being uploaded to the website. In particular, DBD::MySql is not part of the release (see discussion in #157).

The case of DBD::Oracle is similar.

The template text in the build system needs to be updated to indicate this. PRs welcome if anyone is interested.
