Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51.20, a new version of the ODBC driver for the
MySQL database management system, has been released.  This release is
the latest release of the 3.51 series and is suitable for use with any
MySQL version including MySQL 4.1, 5.0, or 5.1.

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/odbc/3.51.html

and mirror sites. Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this
point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try
again later or choose another download site.

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

Platform notes:
* There are no installer packages for Microsoft Windows x64 Edition.
* There is no binary package for Mac OS X on 64-bit PowerPC because Apple
  does not currently provide a 64-bit PowerPC version of iODBC.
* The HP-UX 11.23 IA64 binary package does not include the GUI bits because
  of problems building Qt on that platform.

Changes since the last release:

  Bugs fixed:
  * The FLAG_NO_PROMPT option was not handled by SQLDriverConnect().
    (Bug #30840)
  * Removed checkbox in setup dialog for FLAG_FIELD_LENGTH ("Don't
    Optimize Column Width"), which was removed from the driver in 3.51.18.
  * The wrong column size was returned for binary data. (Bug #30547)
  * The specified length of the username and authentication parameters to
    SQLConnect() were not being honored. (Bug #30774)
  * SQLGetData() will now always return SQL_NO_DATA_FOUND on second call
    when no data left, even if requested size is 0. (Bug#30520)
  * SQLSetParam() caused memory allocation errors due to driver manager's
    mapping of deprecated functions (buffer length -1). (Bug#29871)
  * SQLGetConnectAttr() did not reflect the connection state correctly.
    (Bug#14639)

Enjoy!
