MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.5 has been released

Dear MySQL Users,

A new GA (general availability) version of MySQL Connector/C++ has
been made available: MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.5 GA. The MySQL
Connector/C++ provides a C++ API for connecting client applications to
the MySQL Server 5.5 or newer.

You can download the production release at:

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/1.1.html

MySQL Connector C++ (Commercial) will be available for download on the
My Oracle Support (MOS) website. This release will be available on eDelivery
(OSDC) in next month's upload cycle.

The MySQL driver for C++ offers an easy to use API derived from JDBC
4.0. MySQL Workbench has used it successfully for years.

We have improved the driver since the last GA release. Please see the
documentation and the CHANGES file in the source distribution for a
detailed description of bugs that have been fixed. Bug descriptions are
also listed below.

Enjoy!

======================================================================

Changes in MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.5  (2014-11-26)

    Functionality Added or Changed

      * It was not possible to delete multiple connection
        attributes using the OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_DELETE option. This
        can now be done using the std::list< sql::SQLString >
        type. (Bug #19939417)

      * MySQL_Prepared_Statement::getMoreResults() functionality
        has been implemented, so multiple result sets now can be
        fetched using a prepared statement. (Bug #19147677)

      * The following connection options have been implemented:
        MYSQL_DEFAULT_AUTH, MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_DELETE,
        MYSQL_OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_RESET, MYSQL_OPT_LOCAL_INFILE,
        MYSQL_PLUGIN_DIR, MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_FILE,
        MYSQL_READ_DEFAULT_GROUP, MYSQL_SET_CHARSET_DIR, and
        max_statement_timeout for session-based query timeout.
        (Bug #73665, Bug #19479950)

      * These functions were added: Connection::isValid() checks
        whether the connection is alive, and
        Connection::reconnect() reconnects if the connection has
        gone down. (Bug #65640, Bug #14207722)

      * The Boost dependency was removed from the Connector/C++
        API headers. These headers were using the boost::variant
        type, making it impossible to use Connector/C++ binaries
        without having Boost installed.

    Bugs Fixed

      * For installation from MSI packages, variant.h and
        version_info.h were missing from the include/cppconn
        folder. (Bug #19973637)

      * For several valid client options, getClientOption() did
        not return a value. (Bug #19940314)

      * A memory leak occurred when adding the
        OPT_CONNECT_ATTR_ADD parameter to the options list.
        (Bug #19938970)

      * getClientOption() raised an assertion if the specified
        option was not set at connect time. (Bug #19938922)

      * Several metadata flaws were corrected:

           + getTables() did not return a correct result when
             TableType=VIEW and metadataUseInfoSchema=false.

           + getColumns() did not return column inforomation when
             metadataUseInfoSchema=TRUE.

           + getColumnName() returned the display name instead of
             the actual column name.

           + getProcedures() returned a syntax error when
             metadataUseInfoSchema=false.
        (Bug #19505348, Bug #19147897, Bug #19244736, Bug
        #19505421)

      * The LOCALHOST global variable was referenced at two
        places in C/C++ code, which could result in a double-free
        corruption error. (Bug #74616, Bug #19910311)

      * driver/version_info.h (containing version macros) was not
        included in the installed header files.
        (Bug #73795, Bug #19553971)

      * Several CMake issues were corrected:

           + CMake could misconfigure the link flags.

           + CMake did not pick up the libmysqlclient path from
             the MYSQL_LIB_DIR option.

           + For test suite compilation, CMake did not pick up
             libmysqlclient from the user-specified path, even if
             MYSQL_LIB_DIR and DYNLOAD_MYSQL_LIB were given.
        (Bug #73427, Bug #19315635, Bug #19370844, Bug #19940663)

      * Connector/C++ issued a ping command every time isClosed()
        was called in a Connection, rather than just checking
        whether close() had been called earlier or when a fatal
        error occurred in an earlier operation.
        (Bug #69785, Bug #17186530)

      * With the result set type set to TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY,
        Statement::executeQuery() returns almost immediately, but
        MySQL_ResultSet::next() and
        MySQL_Prepared_ResultSet::next() returned false if the
        connection was lost rather than throwing an exception,
        making it impossible to distinguish loss of connection
        from normal end of the result set.
        MySQL_ResultSet::next() and
        MySQL_Prepared_ResultSet::next() now throw an exception
        when the connection is lost. (Bug #69031, Bug #18886278)

      * Connection objects shared internal state with Statement
        objects they spawned, preventing a connection close
        unless the Statement objects were destroyed first. A
        connection to the server now is closed by calling
        Connection::close() and invoking the Connection object
        destructor, without explicitly destroying the statement
        object.

On Behalf of the MySQL/ORACLE RE Team,
