Hi,

MySQL Connector/J 3.0.16, a new version of the Type-IV all-Java JDBC
driver for MySQL has been released.

Version 3.0.16 is a bugfix release for the stable tree that is
suitable for use with any MySQL version including MySQL-4.1 or MySQL-5.0
(although it provides minimal 'new' functionality with MySQL-4.1 or
MySQL-5.0, users connecting to MySQL-4.1 or 5.0 should be using
Connector/J 3.1.x).

It is now available in source and binary form from the Connector/J
download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.0.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.)

	-Mark

- From the changelog:

11-15-04 - Version 3.0.16-ga
    - Re-issue character set configuration commands when re-using
      pooled connections and/or Connection.changeUser() when
      connected to MySQL-4.1 or newer.

    - Fixed ResultSetMetaData.isReadOnly() to detect non-writable
      columns when connected to MySQL-4.1 or newer, based on existence
      of 'original' table and column names.

    - Fixed BUG#5664, ResultSet.updateByte() when on insert row
      throws ArrayOutOfBoundsException.

    - Fixed DatabaseMetaData.getTypes() returning incorrect (i.e.
      non-negative) scale for the 'NUMERIC' type.

    - Fixed BUG#6198, off-by-one bug in Buffer.readString(string).

    - Made TINYINT(1) -> BIT/Boolean conversion configurable via
      'tinyInt1isBit' property (default 'true' to be JDBC compliant out
      of the box).

    - Only set 'character_set_results' during connection establishment
      if server version >= 4.1.1.

    - Fixed regression where useUnbufferedInput was defaulting to
      'false'.

    - Fixed BUG#6231, ResultSet.getTimestamp() on a column with TIME in
      it fails.
