The new maintenance release for pg_chameleon adds the support for reduced lock if MySQL engine is transactional, thanks to rascalDan

The initialisation process now checks whether the engine for the table is transactional and runs the initial copy within a transaction. The process still requires a FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK but the lock is released as soon as the transaction snapshot is acquired. This improvement allows pg_chameleon to run against primary databases with minimal impact during the init_replica process.

The python-mysql-replication requirement is now changed to version >=0.22 which adds the support for PyMySQL >=0.10.0.
