MySQL Connector/Net 5.1.7 has been released

[Reggie Burnett]

Hi,

MySQL Connector/Net 5.1.7 a new version of the all-managed .NET driver 
for MySQL has been released. This is a minor release involving mainly 
bug fixes.

Version 5.1.7 works with all versions of MySQL including MySQL-4.1,  
MySQL-5.0, MySQL-5.1 beta or the MySQL-6.0 beta releases.

It is now available in source and binary form from 
[http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/5.1.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.)

** IMPORTANT **
Unless a major, data-loss type bug is found, we expect this to be the 
last release of the 5.1 product.  We encourage all new work to use the 
newly released 5.2 product
** IMPORTANT **

== Bugs fixed ==

 - Fixed problem with DDEX provider that could sometimes prevent table 
altering when working with
   4.1 servers (bug #30603)

 - Fixed problem with pooling code where connections pooled from the 
pool were added
   twice to the in use pool.  This would cause a semaphore full exception
   when an attempt is made to release them back to the pool (bug #36688)

 - Reversed order of Datetime and DateTime enums for MySqlDbType so that 
VB users won't get
   autocorrection to Datetime (bug #37406)

 - Uncommented access denied error enumeration value (bug #37398)

 - Improved documentation concerning autoincrement columns and the 
DataColumn class (bug #37350)

 - Fixed problem where executing a command that results in a fatal 
exception would not
   close the connection.  (bug #37991)

 - Fixed problem where executing a command with a null connection object 
would result in
   a null reference exception instead of an InvalidOp (bug #38276)

Enjoy and thanks for the support!
