Hi, 

MySQL Connector/J 5.0.7 a new version of the Type-IV all-Java JDBC driver for 
MySQL has been released. 

This is a bug fix release for the current production branch of Connector/J. 

Version 5.0.7 is suitable for use with any MySQL version including MySQL-4.1, 
MySQL-5.0, MySQL-5.1 beta or the MySQL-6.0 Falcon development releases.

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.)

As always, we recommend that you check the change log

   http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/cj-news.html 

and "Upgrading" sections 

   http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/cj-upgrading.html 

in the manual before upgrading to be aware of changes in behavior that might 
affect your application. 

We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches etc.:

- ------------------------------
Functionality added or changed
- ------------------------------

Setting the configuration parameter "useCursorFetch" to "true" for MySQL-5.0+ 
enables the use of cursors that allow Connector/J to save memory by fetching 
result set rows in chunks (where the chunk size is set by calling 
setFetchSize() on a Statement or ResultSet) by using fully-materialized cursors 
on the server. The driver will will now automatically set "useServerPrepStmts" 
to "true" when "useCursorFetch" has been set to true, since the feature 
requires server-side prepared statements in order to function. 

Added configuration property "useNanosForElapsedTime" - for profiling/debugging 
functionality that measures elapsed time, should the driver try to use 
nanoseconds resolution if available (requires JDK >= 1.5)?
 
Added configuration property "slowQueryThresholdNanos" - if 
"useNanosForElapsedTime" is set to "true", and this property is set to a 
non-zero value the driver will use this threshold (in nanosecond units) to 
determine if a query was slow, instead of using millisecond units. 

Added configuration properties to allow tuning of TCP/IP socket parameters: 

  tcpNoDelay - Should the driver set SO_TCP_NODELAY (disabling the Nagle 
Algorithm, default true)? 

  tcpKeepAlive - Should the driver set SO_KEEPALIVE (default true)? 

  tcpRcvBuf - Should the driver set SO_RCV_BUF to the given value? The default 
value of '0', 
means use the platform default value for this property. 

  tcpSndBuf - Should the driver set SO_SND_BUF to the given value? The default 
value of '0', means use the platform default value for this property. 

  tcpTrafficClass - Should the driver set traffic class or type-of-service 
fields? See the documentation for java.net.Socket.setTrafficClass() for more 
information. 

Give more information in EOFExceptions thrown out of MysqlIO (how many bytes 
the driver expected to read, how many it actually read, say that communications 
with the server were unexpectedly lost). 

Setting "useDynamicCharsetInfo" to "false" now causes driver to use static 
lookups for collations as well (makes ResultSetMetadata.isCaseSensitive() much 
more efficient, which leads to performance increase for ColdFusion, which calls 
this method for every column on every table it sees, it appears). 

Driver detects when it is running in a ColdFusion MX server (tested with 
version 7), and uses the configuration bundle coldFusion, which sets 
"useDynamicCharsetInfo" to "false" (see previous entry), and sets 
useLocalSessionState and autoReconnect to true. 

Added new debugging functionality - Setting configuration property 
"includeInnodbStatusInDeadlockExceptions" to true will cause the driver to 
append the output of SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS to deadlock-related exceptions, 
which will enumerate the current locks held inside InnoDB.

Bugs Fixed
- ----------

PreparedStatement.getMetaData() for statements containing leading one-line 
comments is not returned correctly. As part of this fix, we also overhauled 
detection of DML for executeQuery() and SELECTs for executeUpdate() in plain 
and prepared statements to be aware of the same types of comments. (Bug#28469) 

Parser in client-side prepared statements eats character following '/' if it's 
not a multi-line comment. (Bug#28851)
 
Parser in client-side prepared statements runs to end of statement, rather than 
end-of-line for '#' comments. Also added support for '--' single-line comments. 
(Bug#28956) 

Don't send any file data in response to LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE if the feature 
is disabled at the client side. This is to prevent a malicious server or 
man-in-the-middle from asking the client for data that the client is not 
expecting. Thanks to Jan Kneschke for discovering the exploit and Andrey 
"Poohie" Hristov, Konstantin Osipov and Sergei Golubchik for discussions about 
implications and possible fixes. (Bug#29605) 

Enjoy!
