MySQL Connector/Net 6.5.3 has been released

[Reggie Burnett]

MySQL Connector/Net 6.5.3, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver 
for MySQL has been released.  This is the second of our two Release 
Candidate (RC) releases.  As is the case with all non-GA releases, it 
should not be used in any production environment.  It is appropriate for 
use with MySQL server versions 5.0-5.6

It is now available in source and binary form from 
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/#downloads and mirror sites 
(note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point-if you 
can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose 
another download site.)

The 6.5 release of MySQL Connector/Net brings new features such as

  * Exception and command injector support
  * Millseconds support
  * Better partial-trust support
  * Better intellisense including auto-completion when editing stored
    procedures or .mysql files

We have posted a series of posts to our blog outlining these new 
features.  If you are testing 6.5 we are planning on building our final 
GA package in a few days so please file any outstanding bug reports you 
have so we can consider them.
