Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/NET 6.7.8, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released. This is the GA, feature complete. It is recommended 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/#downloadsand mirror sites (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.) The 6.7 version of MySQL Connector/NET brings the following new features: - WinRT Connector. - Load Balancing support. - Entity Framework 5.0 support. - Memcached support for Innodb Memcached plugin. - This version also splits the product in two: from now on, starting version 6.7, Connector/NET will include only the former Connector/NET ADO.NET driver, Entity Framework and ASP.NET providers (Core libraries of MySql.Data, MySql.Data.Entity & MySql.Web). While all the former product Visual Studio integration (Design support, Intellisense, Debugger) are available as part of MySQL Windows Installer under the name "MySQL for Visual Studio". WinRT Connector ------------------------------------------- Now you can write MySql data access apps in Windows Runtime (aka Store Apps) using the familiar API of Connector/NET for .NET. Load Balancing Support ------------------------------------------- Now you can setup a Replication or Cluster configuration in the backend, and Connector/NET will balance the load of queries among all servers making up the backend topology. Entity Framework 5.0 ------------------------------------------- Connector/NET is now compatible with EF 5, including special features of EF 5 like spatial types. Memcached ------------------------------------------- Just setup Innodb memcached plugin and use Connector/NET new APIs to establish a client to MySQL 5.6 server's memcached daemon.
