Maxwell and MySQL 8

[garyrussell]

$ brew info maxwell
maxwell: stable 1.21.0

$ brew info mysql
mysql: stable 8.0.15 (bottled)

What I had to do to get it working...

my.cnf

server_id=1
log-bin=master
binlog_format=row
default-authentication-plugin=mysql_native_password

and

CREATE USER 'maxwell'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH 'mysql_native_password' AS 'XXXXXX';

Perhaps add a note to the quick start?

can do. I thought we addressed some of this with the upgrade of the jdbc lib, but I guess not.

I guess I never added a note. but 1.26.0 finally supports newer auth methods.
