MySQL Connector/Net 5.0.8 a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released. This is a bug fix release for the current production branch of Connector/Net. Version 5.0.8 is suitable for use with any MySQL version including MySQL-4.1, MySQL-5.0, MySQL-5.1 beta or the MySQL-6.0 Falcon "Preview".

It is now available in source and binary form from the Connector/Net download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.0.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.)

We moved to a new installer technology for this release. Please let us know what, if any, problems you have with it.

== CHANGELOG ==

- Fixed problem where log messages were truncated at 300 characters. (bug #28706)

- Fixed a problem with compression over a network. We were letting the inflate stream read directly from the network stream. Under certain situations, two bytes were being left unread and this messed up our byte counts. Now we are using a WeakReference to an internal buffer that we read the compressed data into before inflating. (Bug #28204)

- Fixed problem where we were not closing prepared statement handles when commands are disposed. This could lead to using up all prepared statement handles on the server.

- Fixed problem where any attempt to not read all the records returned from a select where each row of the select is greater than 1024 bytes would hang the driver.

- Fixed problem where usage advisor warnings for unnecessary field conversions and not reading all rows of a resultset would output even if you did not request usage advisor warnings. (Bug #29124)

- Changed behavior of ConnectionString property. It now only returns the connection string given to it. It will not attempt to track changes to the current database when the users uses the ChangeDatabase method. (Bug #29123)

- Fixed problem with calling stored procedures in databases that have hyphens in their names. We were not using backticks to quote the database and sproc name when querying for metadata. (Bug #29526)

- Fixed problem where a statement that has parameters that is executed without defining those parameters would throw a System.FormatException rather than a MySqlException (bug #29312)

- Fixed problem where a command timing out just after it actually finished would cause an exception to be thrown on the command timeout thread which would then be seen as an unhandled exception.

- Fixed bug where Connecor/Net was hand building some date time patterns rather than using the patterns provided under CultureInfo. This caused problems with some calendars that do not support the same ranges as Gregorian. (Bug #29931)

- Fixed problem where MySqlConnection.BeginTransaction checked the drivers status var before checking if the connection was open. The result was that the driver could report an invalid condition on a previously opened connection.

- Fixed problem where an attempt to open a connection max pool size times while the server is down will prevent any further attempts due to the pool semaphore being full. (Bug #29409)

- Fixed some serious issues with command timeout and cancel that could present as exceptions about thread ownership. The issue was that not all queries cancel the same. Some produce resultsets while others don't. ExecuteReader had to be changed to check for this.

- Fixed problem where date columns that appear in keys caused updates to fail (bug #30077)

- Added code to suppress finalizers for low level socket objects and then added a finalizer to the protocol object so pooled connections will get closed on process exit

- Fixed problem where attempting to load a reader into a datatable using a table with a multi-column primary key would result in multiple constraints being added to the datatable. No test case added to the 1.0 tree as loading a datatable with a reader is a .Net 2.0 thing. (Bug #30204)

- Fixed the database schema collection so that it works on servers that are not properly respecting the lower_case_table_names setting.

- Moved installer to Inno Setup
