Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.6 is a maintenance release for the 6.9.x series of the .NET driver for MySQL. It can be used for production environments.
It is appropriate for use with MySQL server versions 5.5-5.7. It is now available in source and binary form from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/#downloadsandmirrorsites (note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point-if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site.) Changes in MySQL Connector/Net 6.9.6 (2015-03-04) Bugs Fixed * The MySqlSimpleRoleProvider.RoleExists method would return true instead of false. (Bug #20325391, Bug #73880, Bug #75397) * With the Driver.GetTimeZoneOffset method, the TimeZone offset was not calculated correctly, and instead it was always set to 0. In other words, this caused the time zone to always be set to UTC. (Bug #20200662, Bug #74134) * With Entity Framework 6, passing in a string reference to the StartWith clause would return incorrect results. (Bug #20129927, Bug #20334228, Bug #20334274, Bug #74918) * Repeatedly calling the MySql.Web.Security.MySqlSimpleMembershipProvider.Validate User method could leave open MySQL connections. (Bug #20109419, Bug #75662) * The GetTimeZoneOffset method would return an incorrect value depending on the server Time and TimeZone, as it did not take into account the day into the context of the time difference. (Bug #20065691, Bug #20362040, Bug #20362036, Bug #74905) * The uninstaller process would fail and not remove the connector. (Bug #19485102, Bug #73677) * A connection string that included Chinese characters for a database or uid property would emit the following exception; "MySqlException: Unknown database '???'". (Bug #18141356, Bug #20508130, Bug #70041) * Loading two nested collections could be reported as an invalid SQL query as MySQL Connector/Net only generated a partial query. (Bug #18049862, Bug #20409538, Bug #20409528, Bug #70941) The documentation is available at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-net/en/ Nuget packages are available at: https://www.nuget.org/packages/MySql.Data/6.9.6 https://www.nuget.org/packages/MySql.Data.Entity/6.9.6 https://www.nuget.org/packages/MySql.Fabric/6.9.6 https://www.nuget.org/packages/MySql.Web/6.9.6 Enjoy and thanks for the support!
