Dear MySQL Users, A new GA (general availability) version of MySQL Connector/C++ has been made available: MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.7 GA. The MySQL Connector/C++ provides a C++ API for connecting client applications to the MySQL Server 5.5 or newer.
You can download the production release at: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/1.1.html MySQL Connector C++ (Commercial) will be available for download on the My Oracle Support (MOS) website. This release will be available on eDelivery (OSDC) in next month's upload cycle. The MySQL driver for C++ offers an easy to use API derived from JDBC 4.0. MySQL Workbench has used it successfully for years. We have improved the driver since the last GA release. Please see the documentation and the CHANGES file in the source distribution for a detailed description of bugs that have been fixed. Bug descriptions are also listed below. Enjoy! ====================================================================== Changes in MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.7 Configuration Notes * Binary distributions for this release of MySQL Connector/C++ were linked against libmysqlclient from MySQL 5.7.10, except for OS X 10.8/10.9, for which distributions were linked against MySQL 5.7.9. This enables Connector/C++ to take advantage of features present in recent client library versions. Some examples: + Support for the MySQL JSON data type is available. Current versions of MySQL Workbench require JSON support, so to build MySQL Workbench 6.3.5 or higher from source, it is necessary to use a version of Connector/C++ at least as recent as 1.1.7. + Applications will attempt to establish a secure (encrypted) connection by default whenever the server is enabled to support secure connections, and fall back to an unencrypted connection otherwise. (This is as described at Configuring MySQL to Use Secure Connections (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/using-secure-connections.html).) To enforce a secure connection, such that an error occurs if secure connections are not available, applications can enable the sslEnforce connection option. To build Connector/C++ from source, you must use either a General Availability version of MySQL 5.7 (5.7.9 or higher) or Connector/C 6.1.8 or higher. Set the MYSQL_DIR CMake option appropriately at configuration time as necessary. (Bug #22351273) Security Notes * The linked OpenSSL library for Connector/C++ Commercial has been updated to version 1.0.1q. Issues fixed in the new OpenSSL version are described at http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html. This change does not affect Oracle-produced MySQL Community builds of Connector/C++, which use the yaSSL library instead. Spatial Data Support * The required version of the Boost library for Connector/C++ builds has been raised to 1.56.0. Bugs Fixed * MySQL_Prepared_ResultSet::relative() failed to fetch the record due to a missing proxy->fetch() call. (Bug #21152054) * During Connector/C++ builds, the MySQL Server CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS values were used rather than the system default values. To specify explicitly to use the server values, enable the new USE_SERVER_CXXFLAGS CMake option.
