MySQL Connector/Net 6.4.0 Alpha has been released!

[Reggie Burnett]

Hi,

MySQL Connector/Net 6.4.0, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver 
for MySQL has been released.  This release is of Alpha quality and is 
intended for testing and exposure to new features.  We strongly urge you 
to not use this release in a production environment.

Version 6.4.0 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 in this release (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.

We are also including some SQL generation improvements related to our 
entity framework provider.

Enjoy and thanks for the support!
Reggie
