MySQL Connector/C 6.1.6 has been released
Dear MySQL users,
MySQL Connector/C 6.1.6, a new version of MySQL client library for client/server communication for the MySQL database management system, has been released.
This version of Connector/C provides full support for MySQL 5.6 protocol. Connector/C is compatible with the client libraries (libmysql). It includes all the features in the MySQL client library shipped with MySQL servers 5.6 as well as prior versions. You can recompile existing code linked with Connector/C 6.1.6 without any code changes.
You can use Connector/C to run and build client applications which communicate with MySQL server versions from 5.5 to 5.6 without a need to do a complete server installation.
The release is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/
MySQL Connector/C 6.1.6 will also be available for downloads via the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud in approximately 1-2 weeks.
For information on installing, please see the documentation at
* Connector/C 6.1.6 upgrades the linked OpenSSL library to version 1.0.1k. Issues fixed in the new version are described at http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html.
Functionality Added or Changed
* yaSSL sources included in Connector/C source packages and used in GPL binary distributions were upgraded to version 2.3.7. (Bug #20201864)
Bugs Fixed
* For source packages, it was not possible to build Connector/C with the client protocol test trace plugin enabled. (Bug #20316149)
* When there is no change in session state, the OK packet sent from server to the client contained an unneeded byte at the end of the packet. (Bug #19625718)
* The client protocol trace plugin did not account for the removal of the EOF packet from the client/server protocol in MySQL 5.7.5. (Bug #19512199)
* The mysql_session_track_get_first() and mysql_session_track_get_next() C API functions could cause a client crash if passed invalid arguments. (Bug #18769620)
* mysql_config --libs_r produces output containing link flags for libmysqlclient_r, even though that library was removed in MySQL 5.5 and replaced with a symlink to the underlying libmysqlclient library. The output now refers directly to libmysqlclient. (The implication is that it is no longer necessary to maintain the symlink for the sake of being able to use mysql_config --libs_r.) (Bug #73724, Bug #19506315)
* Invalid memory access could occur when using prepared statements if a mysql client connection was lost after statement preparation was complete and there was at least one statement that was in initialized state but not prepared yet. (Bug #70429, Bug #17512527)
* Client auto-reconnect did not work for clients linked against libmysqlclient, even with MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT enabled. Also, if a FEDERATED table was accessed after wait_timeout expired, a Lost connection to MySQL server error occurred without an attempt to re-establish the connection. (Bug #70026, Bug #17309863, Bug #14874, Bug #11745408)
* mysql_real_connect() could close a file descriptor twice if the server was not running. (Bug #69423, Bug #19226740)
