## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Prisma 2.16.0. Source highlight: Today, we are excited to share the `2.16.0` stable release 🎉

## Breaking Changes & Deprecations
- `queryRaw` Breaking Changes On MySQL _only_, fields of type `Boolean` are stored as `TINYINT(1)` in the database. We no longer coerce the value to a Boolean. That means `queryRaw` now returns integers of value `0` or `1` instead of `true` or `false` for `Boolean` fields.

## New Features
- When using the `nativeTypes` Preview feature, introspection will only render a native attribute if the column type does _not_ map to Prisma's corresponding default type. This might remove any existing type annotations upon (re-)introspection where the default mapping is currently in place.
- Columns of type `BIT(1)` can now be mapped to Prisma's `Boolean` type as well using the `Bit` native type attribute, e.g. `myField Boolean @db.Bit(1)`.
- Default mapping for Prisma's `Float` type has been changed from `DECIMAL(65,30)` to `Double`.
- Default mapping for Prisma's `Float` type has been changed from `DECIMAL(65,30)` to `Double`.
- Default mapping for Prisma's `Decimal` type has been changed from `REAL` to `DECIMAL`.
- If you were using `Decimal` before on SQLite, with the native type feature flag enabled, Prisma Migrate will change the type in the next migration from `REAL` to `DECIMAL`.

## Improvements
- You can now skip seeding when calling `prisma migrate dev` or `prisma migrate reset` with the `—-skip-seed` flag.
- You can now use the `--schema` option on the `prisma db seed` command to execute the command with a custom Prisma schema location.
- Improve Prisma Client error handling
- Improve Migrate automatic panic reports by including the command ran
- Improvement: Optionally skip seeding during migrate reset
