-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
MySQL Connector/J 5.0.2 Beta, a new version of the Type-IV all-Java JDBC driver for MySQL has been released. This is the last planned beta release of this branch of the driver. Please notice that version 5.0.1 wasn't released due to a last-minute packaging error. Version 5.0.2 is a release for the development branch that is suitable for use with any MySQL version including MySQL-4.1, MySQL-5.0 or MySQL-5.1 beta. It is now available in source and binary form from the Connector/J download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.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.) Please notice that the download archives are larger than before as we're now shipping the output of our JUnit release tests and resultant code coverage in the "docs/release-test-output" subdirectory. -Mark - From the changelog (this release includes changes and fixes from versions 3.1.13 and 3.1.14): 07-11-06 - Version 5.0.2-beta - Fixed BUG#17401 - Can't use XAConnection for local transactions when no global transaction is in progress. - Fixed BUG#18086 - Driver fails on non-ASCII platforms. The driver was assuming that the platform character set would be a superset of MySQL's "latin1" when doing the handshake for authentication, and when reading error messages. We now use Cp1252 for all strings sent to the server during the handshake phase, and a hard-coded mapping of the "language" server variable to the character set that is used for error messages. - Fixed BUG#19169 - ConnectionProperties (and thus some subclasses) are not serializable, even though some J2EE containers expect them to be. - Fixed BUG#20242 - MysqlValidConnectionChecker for JBoss doesn't work with MySQLXADataSources. - Better caching of character set converters (per-connection) to remove a bottleneck for multibyte character sets. - Added connection/datasource property "pinGlobalTxToPhysicalConnection" (defaults to "false"). When set to "true", when using XAConnections, the driver ensures that operations on a given XID are always routed to the same physical connection. This allows the XAConnection to support "XA START ... JOIN" after "XA END" has been called, and is also a workaround for transaction managers that don't maintain thread affinity for a global transaction (most either always maintain thread affinity, or have it as a configuration option). - MysqlXaConnection.recover(int flags) now allows combinations of XAResource.TMSTARTRSCAN and TMENDRSCAN. To simulate the "scanning" nature of the interface, we return all prepared XIDs for TMSTARTRSCAN, and no new XIDs for calls with TMNOFLAGS, or TMENDRSCAN when not in combination with TMSTARTRSCAN. This change was made for API compliance, as well as integration with IBM WebSphere's transaction manager. nn-nn-06 - Version 3.1.14 - Fixed BUG#20479 - Updatable result set throws ClassCastException when there is row data and moveToInsertRow() is called. - Fixed BUG#20485 - Updatable result set that contains a BIT column fails when server-side prepared statements are used. - Fixed BUG#16987 - Memory leak with profileSQL=true. - Fixed BUG#19726 - Connection fails to localhost when using timeout and IPv6 is configured. - Fixed BUG#16791 - NullPointerException in MysqlDataSourceFactory due to Reference containing RefAddrs with null content. - Fixed BUG#20306 - ResultSet.getShort() for UNSIGNED TINYINT returns incorrect values when using server-side prepared statements. - Fixed BUG#20687 - Can't pool server-side prepared statements, exception raised when re-using them. 05-26-05 - Version 3.1.13 - Fixed BUG#15464 - INOUT parameter does not store IN value. - Fixed BUG#14609 - Exception thrown for new decimal type when using updatable result sets. - Fixed BUG#15544, no "dos" character set in MySQL > 4.1.0 - Fixed BUG#15383 - PreparedStatement.setObject() serializes BigInteger as object, rather than sending as numeric value (and is thus not complementary to .getObject() on an UNSIGNED LONG type). - Fixed BUG#11874 - ResultSet.getShort() for UNSIGNED TINYINT returned wrong values. - Fixed BUG#15676 - lib-nodist directory missing from package breaks out-of-box build - Fixed BUG#15854 - DBMD.getColumns() returns wrong type for BIT. - Fixed BUG#14938 - Unable to initialize character set mapping tables. Removed reliance on .properties files to hold this information, as it turns out to be too problematic to code around class loader hierarchies that change depending on how an application is deployed. Moved information back into the CharsetMapping class. - Fixed BUG#16841 - updatable result set doesn't return AUTO_INCREMENT values for insertRow() when multiple column primary keys are used. (the driver was checking for the existence of single-column primary keys and an autoincrement value > 0 instead of a straightforward isAutoIncrement() check). - Fixed BUG#17099 - Statement.getGeneratedKeys() throws NullPointerException when no query has been processed. - Fixed BUG#13469 - Driver tries to call methods that don't exist on older and newer versions of Log4j. The fix is not trying to auto-detect presense of log4j, too many different incompatible versions out there in the wild to do this reliably. If you relied on autodetection before, you will need to add "logger=com.mysql.jdbc.log.Log4JLogger" to your JDBC URL to enable Log4J usage, or alternatively use the new "CommonsLogger" class to take care of this. - Added support for Apache Commons logging, use "com.mysql.jdbc.log.CommonsLogger" as the value for the "logger" configuration property. - LogFactory now prepends "com.mysql.jdbc.log" to log class name if it can't be found as-specified. This allows you to use "short names" for the built-in log factories, for example "logger=CommonsLogger" instead of "logger=com.mysql.jdbc.log.CommonsLogger". - Fixed BUG#15570 - ReplicationConnection incorrectly copies state, doesn't transfer connection context correctly when transitioning between the same read-only states. - Fixed BUG#18041 - Server-side prepared statements don't cause truncation exceptions to be thrown when truncation happens. - Added performance feature, re-writing of batched executes for Statement.executeBatch() (for all DML statements) and PreparedStatement.executeBatch() (for INSERTs with VALUE clauses only). Enable by using "rewriteBatchedStatements=true" in your JDBC URL. - Fixed BUG#17898 - registerOutParameter not working when some parameters pre-populated. Still waiting for feedback from JDBC experts group to determine what correct parameter count from getMetaData() should be, however. - Fixed BUG#17587 - clearParameters() on a closed prepared statement causes NPE. - Map "latin1" on MySQL server to CP1252 for MySQL > 4.1.0. - Added additional accessor and mutator methods on ConnectionProperties so that DataSource users can use same naming as regular URL properties. - Fixed BUG#18740 - Data truncation and getWarnings() only returns last warning in set. - Improved performance of retrieving BigDecimal, Time, Timestamp and Date values from server-side prepared statements by creating fewer short-lived instances of Strings when the native type is not an exact match for the requested type. Fixes BUG#18496 for BigDecimals. - Fixed BUG#18554 - Aliased column names where length of name > 251 are corrupted. - Fixed BUG#17450 - ResultSet.wasNull() not always reset correctly for booleans when done via conversion for server-side prepared statements. - Fixed BUG#16277 - Invalid classname returned for RSMD.getColumnClassName() for BIGINT type. - Fixed case where driver wasn't reading server status correctly when fetching server-side prepared statement rows, which in some cases could cause warning counts to be off, or multiple result sets to not be read off the wire. - Driver now aware of fix for BIT type metadata that went into MySQL-5.0.21 for server not reporting length consistently (BUG#13601). - Fixed BUG#19615, PreparedStatement.setObject(int, Object, int) doesn't respect scale of BigDecimals. - Fixed BUG#19282 - ResultSet.wasNull() returns incorrect value when extracting native string from server-side prepared statement generated result set. - Fixed BUG#19568 - ResultSet.getSomeNumeric() didn't work for the BIT type. - Fixed BUG#19724 - Updatable result set fails when server is in ANSI sql_mode. - -- Mark Matthews MySQL AB, Software Development Manager - Client Connectivity www.mysql.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEtP/ttvXNTca6JD8RAu7HAJ9mWPbThTtU0Z78ZkSbBpAwjvOIywCePJve +GeFEPfQqKUJgnzVoz0awp4= =Fnbs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
