[Nawaz Nazeer ahamed]

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.6 is the third GA release with .NET Core
now supporting various connection-string options.

To download MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.6 GA, see the "Generally Available
(GA) Releases" tab at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/

Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.10.6 (2018-01-25, General
Availability)

   Functionality Added or Changed

     * The .NET Core 2.0 implementation now supports the
       following connection-string options: AutoEnlist,
       InteractiveSession, Logging, Replication, and UseUsageAdvisor.
       For more information about the options, see Connector/Net
       Connection-String Options Reference
       (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-net/en/connector-net-
       connection-options.html). (Bug #27297337)

   Bugs Fixed

     * When a decimal column was defined with a scale of zero,
       such as DECIMAL(8, 0), the value of the NumericPrecision field
       returned by the MySqlDataReader.GetSchemaTable method was lower
       by one. For example, it returned 7 instead of 8 as expected. (Bug
       #26954812, Bug #88058)

     * The data table returned by the
       MySqlDataReader.GetSchemaTable method had an inaccurate value of
       zero assigned to the ColumnSize field for LONGTEXT and LONGBLOB
       data types, and also indicated that the IsLong field value was
       false when it should have returned true. (Bug #26876592, Bug
       #87876)

     * The MySqlDataReader.GetSchemaTable method returned
       different column-size values when used with different character
       sets. (Bug #26876582, Bug #87868)

     * Support for making a secure connection to a server
       configured to use TLSv1.2 was limited by external factors. (Bug
       #25689154)

     * SSL connections made to a single MySQL instance could not
       be disconnected and created repeatedly without restarting the
       client application to clear the half-open sockets. 
       (Bug #20393654, Bug #75022)
