It sounds better in all respects: * compatible with more versions of MySQL * fixes many bugs * many improvements, as you mentioned And this also seems like an opportune time to make the change since it would hopefully ease pre-v1.1 development. I have an idea... anyone who has a working test environment (e.g: you have successfully run "ant run_test"), please try out the Connector/J 5.1 JAR on your Mifos development workstation. Once we see some successful results from a few different platform, app server, OS, and machine architecture combinations, maybe by then we're ready to go ahead and upgrade the JAR. Thoughts? Too much due diligence (Java is write once, run everywhere!)? Too little (Java is write once, debug everywhere!)? Here's where we could add our results from trying out the new library: http://mifos.org/developers/wiki/UpgradeMySQLClientLib -- Adam Monsen ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
