Hi,

MySQL Connector/J 3.0.16, a new version of the Type-IV all-Java JDBC driver for MySQL has been released.

Version 3.0.16 is a bugfix release for the stable tree that is suitable for use with any MySQL version including MySQL-4.1 or MySQL-5.0 (although it provides minimal 'new' functionality with MySQL-4.1 or MySQL-5.0, users connecting to MySQL-4.1 or 5.0 should be using Connector/J 3.1.x).

It is now available in source and binary form from the Connector/J download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.0.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.)

- From the changelog:

11-15-04 - Version 3.0.16-ga - Re-issue character set configuration commands when re-using pooled connections and/or Connection.changeUser() when connected to MySQL-4.1 or newer.

- Fixed ResultSetMetaData.isReadOnly() to detect non-writable columns when connected to MySQL-4.1 or newer, based on existence of 'original' table and column names.

- Fixed BUG#5664, ResultSet.updateByte() when on insert row throws ArrayOutOfBoundsException.

- Fixed DatabaseMetaData.getTypes() returning incorrect (i.e. non-negative) scale for the 'NUMERIC' type.

- Fixed BUG#6198, off-by-one bug in Buffer.readString(string).

- Made TINYINT(1) -> BIT/Boolean conversion configurable via 'tinyInt1isBit' property (default 'true' to be JDBC compliant out of the box).

- Only set 'character_set_results' during connection establishment if server version >= 4.1.1.

- Fixed regression where useUnbufferedInput was defaulting to 'false'.
