Subject: MySQL Connector/Net 5.2.4 has been released

Hi,

MySQL Connector/Net 5.2.4, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver 
for MySQL has been released.  This release is of GA quality and is 
suitable for  use in production environments.  We strongly urge you to  
review the change log that is shipped with the product for a thorough 
review of the changes.

We have a ton of fixes in this release so please review the changelog 
and see if your favorite bug has been fixed.  Version 5.2.4 works with 
all versions of MySQL including MySQL-4.1,  MySQL-5.0, MySQL-5.1, and 
the MySQL-6.0 beta.

It is now available in source and binary form from 
[http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.2.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.)

** Changes since 5.2.3 **
- fixed web providers autogenerateschema option where it would fail if 
no schema is
   present at all (bug #39072)
- backported fix for lingering problem related to bug #37239.  If two 
columns had the same name but
   different case then an exception would be thrown.
- fixed stored procedure parameter parsing when used inside server 
explorer.  (bug #39252)
- fixed time data type so that negative values are handled properly (bug 
#39275)
- added runtime check for the mono platform to our Membership provider.  
The mono runtime
   as of 1.9.1 did not support the methods needed for hashed passwords 
(bug #38895)
- fixed problem where negative time values with a zero hour would return 
as positive
   values (bug #39294)
- fixed problem where using a stored procedure with parameters with a 
table adapter
   was no longer working after our parameter schema changes (bug #39252)
- fixed problem with profile provider where INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE 
UPDATE syntax would not
   work correctly with some older server versions (bug #39330)
- Defaulting max allowed packet to 1024 to account for the possible case 
where the
   value doesn't come in as a server variable
- fixed bug #39728 by making 
MySqlConnectionStringBuilder.GetConnectionString an internal method.
   It should not have been publicly available anyway.  It is used 
internally by the
   MySqlConnection.ConnectionString property
- implemented Disposable pattern on MySqlTransaction class so including 
one in a using statement
   and then not calling commit will cause a rollback when the using 
exits (bug #39817)
- fixed MySqlScript object so that it handles scripts with user variables
- fixed bug where specifying 'functions return string=yes' would cause 
strings to be returned
   using the 'binary' charset which would not properly render some 
characters.  Now the
   connection character set is used. (bug #40076)
- fixed problem that caused in use connection strings to be modified 
when a pooled connection
   timed out and was cancelled.  (bug #40091)
- fixed problem where using respect binary flags would not use the 
connection char set
   and therefore return strings with a bad encoding.
- fixed bug where provider was attempting to use the new parameters I_S 
view on servers
   that didn't have it (bug #40382)
- fixed problem where CharSetMap.GetDefaultCollation and 
CharSetMap.GetMaxLengths
   might have a thread sync issue on high load systems.  They were not 
locking
   the static collections there were initializing. (bug #40231)
- added GetSByte to the reader for returning tinyint columns (bug #40571)

Enjoy and thanks for the support!
Reggie
