MySQL Connector/Net 6.4.2 RC has been released

[Reggie Burnett]

Hi,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.4.2, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver 
for MySQL has been released.  This is a Release Candidate and is 
intended for testing and exposure to new features.  We strongly urge you 
to not use this release in a production environment.

Version 6.4.2 is intended for use with versions of MySQL from 5.0 - 5.5

It is now available in source and binary form from 
[http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.4.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.)

** New features found in 6.4 include (please see release notes for more 
information) **

* Windows Authentication*
This release includes our new support for Windows authentication when 
connecting to MySQL Server 5.5.

* Table Caching *
We are also introducing a new feature called table caching.  This 
feature makes it possible to cache the rows of slow changing tables on 
the client side.

* Simple connection fail-over support *

We are also including some SQL generation improvements related to our 
entity framework provider.   Please review the change log that ships 
with the product for a complete list of changes and enhancements.

Enjoy and thanks for the support!
