Backward compatibility of prepared statements broken in 3.1.6

In Connector/J 3.0.8 (and I think all pre-3.1.0 releases) calls to Connection.prepareStatement() work correctly although they do not actually prepare the statement since the server has not supported that functionality in the past.

In Connector/J 3.1.6 certain calls to prepareStament() fail with the error message "This command is not supported in the prepared statement protocol yet". I can only assume that this is because the driver is in fact trying to prepare a statement but the server does not support preparing that type of statement. I have had to modify my application to use createStatement() instead so that it is compatible with both old and new Connector/J drivers.

My issue is now resolved but I was quite surprised to see a GA release that is not backwards-compatible with previous releases. Surely the driver should revert to the original behaviour if the server does not support prepared statements for particular statements?

Thanks,
