1.6.2

[1.6.2] — 2026-06-18

Fixed

• Renaming a MySQL/MariaDB column no longer errors on older servers — the
  alter path emitted ALTER TABLE … RENAME COLUMN x TO y, syntax that only
  exists on MySQL 8.0.3+ / MariaDB 10.5.2+, so renames failed with a SQL syntax
  error on older MariaDB. Renames now go through CHANGE COLUMN, which is
  portable across every MySQL/MariaDB version; the column's verbatim
  SHOW CREATE TABLE definition is preserved (type, collation, default,
  comment, auto_increment). A rename combined with a retype or reorder is folded
  into a single CHANGE.
