Hi,

MySQL Connector/J 3.0.11, a new version of the Type-IV all-Java JDBC driver for MySQL has been released.

Version 3.0.11 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.

It is now available in source and binary form from the Connector/J download pages at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc-stable.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.)

You might also be interested in learning about new features in Connector/J as well as hearing sessions from other Java and MySQL-related developers in person at the MySQL Users' Conference, which will be held in Orlando, April 14th-16th, 2004 (see http://www.mysql.com/events/uc2004/ for more information).

Have fun with this release, and looking forward to meeting you in Orlando if you can make it!

- From the changelog:

- Trigger a 'SET NAMES utf8' when encoding is forced to 'utf8' _or_ 'utf-8' via the 'characterEncoding' property. Previously,

only the Java-style encoding name of 'utf-8' would trigger this.

- AutoReconnect time was growing faster than exponentially (BUG#2447).

- Fixed failover always going to last host in list (BUG#2578)

- Added 'useUnbufferedInput' parameter, and now use it by default (due to JVM issue http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4401235.html)

- Detect 'on/off' or '1','2','3' form of lower_case_table_names on server.

- Return 'java.lang.Integer' for TINYINT and SMALLINT types from ResultSetMetaData.getColumnClassName() (fix for BUG#2852).

- Return 'java.lang.Double' for FLOAT type from ResultSetMetaData.getColumnClassName() (fix for BUG#2855).

- Return '[B' instead of java.lang.Object for BINARY, VARBINARY and LONGVARBINARY types from ResultSetMetaData.getColumnClassName() (JDBC compliance).

- Issue connection events on all instances created from a ConnectionPoolDataSource. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
