+    - Driver now calls SocketFactory.afterHandshake() at appropriate time.
+    
+    - Fixed an issue where PreparedStatement.setObject(int, Object, int)
+      didn't handle String values of "1" or "0" for the target SQL type
+      of BIT properly.

     - Fixed BUG#30550, executeBatch() would fail with an ArithmeticException
       and/or NullPointerException when the batch had zero members and
       "rewriteBatchedStatements" was set to "true" for the connection.

-    - Fixed an issue where PreparedStatement.setObject(int, Object, int)
-      didn't handle String values of "1" or "0" for the target SQL type
-      of BIT properly.
+    - XAConnections now start in auto-commit mode (as per JDBC-4.0 specification
+      clarification).
+     
+    - Fixed Bug#27412 - cached metadata with PreparedStatement.execute()
+      throws NullPointerException.
       
+    - Driver will now fall back to sane defaults for max_allowed_packet and
+      net_buffer_length if the server reports them incorrectly (and will log
+      this situation at WARN level, since it's actually an error condition).
+    
+    - Fixed BUG#27916 - UNSIGNED types not reported via DBMD.getTypeInfo(), and 
+      capitalization of type names is not consistent between DBMD.getColumns(), 
+      RSMD.getColumnTypeName() and DBMD.getTypeInfo().
+
+      This fix also ensures that the precision of UNSIGNED MEDIUMINT
+      and UNSIGNED BIGINT is reported correctly via DBMD.getColumns().
+
+    - Fixed BUG#31053 - Connections established using URLs of the form
+      "jdbc:mysql:loadbalance://" weren't doing failover if they tried to 
+      connect to a MySQL server that was down. The driver now attempts
+      connections to the next "best" (depending on the load balance strategy
+      in use) server, and continues to attempt connecting to the next "best"
+      server every 250 milliseconds until one is found that is up and running 
+      or 5 minutes has passed.
+      
+      If the driver gives up, it will throw the last-received SQLException.
