MySQL Connector/Net 5.1.7 a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released. This is a minor release involving mainly bug fixes.
Version 5.1.7 works with all versions of MySQL including MySQL-4.1, MySQL-5.0, MySQL-5.1 beta or the MySQL-6.0 beta releases.
It is now available in source and binary form from [http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.1.html] and mirror sites (note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point of time - if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site.)
IMPORTANT
Unless a major, data-loss type bug is found, we expect this to be the last release of the 5.1 product. We encourage all new work to use the newly released 5.2 product
Bugs Fixed
- Fixed problem with DDEX provider that could sometimes prevent table altering when working with 4.1 servers (bug #30603)
- Fixed problem with pooling code where connections pooled from the pool were added twice to the in use pool. This would cause a semaphore full exception when an attempt is made to release them back to the pool (bug #36688)
- Reversed order of Datetime and DateTime enums for MySqlDbType so that VB users won't get autocorrection to Datetime (bug #37406)
- Uncommented access denied error enumeration value (bug #37398)
- Improved documentation concerning autoincrement columns and the DataColumn class (bug #37350)
- Fixed problem where executing a command that results in a fatal exception would not close the connection. (bug #37991)
- Fixed problem where executing a command with a null connection object would result in a null reference exception instead of an InvalidOp (bug #38276)
Enjoy and thanks for the support!
