Dear MySQL Users,

the first GA (general availability) version of MySQL Connector/C++ has
been made available: MySQL Connector/C++ 1.0.5 GA. The MySQL
Connector/C++ provides a C++ API for connecting client applications to
the MySQL Server 5.1 or newer. You can download the production release at:

  http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/cpp/1.0.html

The MySQL driver for C++ offers an easy to use API derived from JDBC
4.0. We use the MySQL Connector/C++ in two of our own products. A
development version of MySQL Workbench is using it successfully since
months. MySQL Connector/OpenOffice.org, an OpenOffice.org 3.1 extension,
is a thin wrapper around the MySQL driver for C++.

We have improved the driver and added a couple of new features since the
last beta release. Please see the documentation and the CHANGES file in
the source distribution for a detailed description of bugs that have
been fixed. The following features have been added:

  - Introduced unbuffered fetch for Statement.
  - Improved the memory management to not leak in exceptional situations.
  - ConnectionMetaData, ResultSetMetaData, ParameterMetaData now allow
    statements like: connection->getMetaData->getSchema().
  - Added SunConnect support to MSI installer.
  - Added "defaultStatementResultType" to Connection::setClientOption().
  - Added Result::getType() to the three result set classes.
  - Added better support for named pipes, on Windows.

You can find further details, including usages examples, in the
documentation at:
