Hello all, MySQL Connector Java 5.1.40, a maintenance release of the production 5.1 branch, has been released. Connector/J is a Type-IV pure-Java JDBC driver for MySQL, supporting the JDBC 4.2 API. It is suitable for use with MySQL server versions 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7. MySQL Connector Java is available in source and binary form from the Connector/J download page at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html MySQL Connector Java (Commercial) is available for download on the My Oracle Support (MOS) website. This release will be available on eDelivery (OSDC) in next month's upload cycle. As always, we recommend that you check the "CHANGES" file in the download archive to be aware of changes in behavior that might affect your application. MySQL Connector/J 5.1.40 includes the following general bug fixes and improvements, also available in more detail on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/en/news-5-1-40.html : Changes in MySQL Connector/J 5.1.40 (2016-10-03) Version 5.1.40 is a maintenance release of the production 5.1 branch. It is suitable for use with MySQL server versions 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7. It supports the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) 4.2 API. Functionality Added or Changed * A very old workaround for Bug#36326 (fixed in release 5.1.32) has been removed, so Connector/J can now use local transaction states when the MySQL server has query cache enabled. (Bug #19974685) * Added support for the error codes of two MySQL server errors, ER_XA_RBTIMEOUT (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/error-messages-se rver.html#error_er_xa_rbtimeout) and ER_XA_RBDEADLOCK (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/error-messages-se rver.html#error_er_xa_rbdeadlock). (Bug #13702433, Bug #64188) Bugs Fixed * In certain cases, the exception interceptor was being triggered twice in the internal SQLException factory method. Also, if the exception interceptor returned an exception with the cause already initialized, the same factory method would fail to initialize the cause again, and the real cause for the exception remained uncaptured. (Bug #23743956, Bug #82115) * Continuing to use a Fabric connection after one of the slaves was removed might result in a ConcurrentModificationException. This happened because the list of slave hosts managed by Connector/J was being traversed and modified at the same time as the replication topology was changed. This patch fixes the issue by having Connector/J use a slave host list that is safe to be modified. (Bug #23738636) * When the connection property useCursorFetch was "true" and updatable result sets were used, executeQuery() failed for JSON data with an SQLException: Unknown type. It was because the data decoding routine for updatable JSON data was missing from Connector/J, and it has now been implemented. (Bug #23197238) * The FabricMySQLConnectionProxy method nativeSQL() always returned null. The method is now properly implemented. (Bug #23103408, Bug #81072) * In a Fabric setup, getMetaData().supportsMixedCaseIdentifiers() always returned "true," even if lower_case_table_names was set to "1" on the servers. This was because FabricMySQLConnectionProxy.lowerCaseTableNames() was not implemented properly. With this fix, the function now returns the proper value for the current active connection, so that getMetaData().supportsMixedCaseIdentifiers() also returns the correct value. Users are reminded that in a Fabric setup, lower_case_table_names, as well as all other settings, should be configured the same way for all servers in the Fabric server group. (Bug #23103406, Bug #81056) * A memory leakage occurred when the connection properties cachePrepStmts and useServerPrepStmts were both set to be true and server-side prepared statements were set as non-poolable, which resulted in the prepared statement being not closable by the client, and the number of prepared statements then kept on increasing. When the memory leakage described above occurred, it did not make Connector/J fail, as Connector/J switched to using client-side prepared statements when the maximum number of prepared statements was reached. However, when rewriteBatchedStatements was also set to true, the switch to client-side prepared statements did not occur, and Connector/J threw the MySQLSyntaxErrorException ("Can't create more than max_prepared_stmt_count statements") when the client wanted to create more prepared statements than allowed. This fix corrected the way prepared statements are handled in order to avoid both of the problems described above. (Bug #22954007, Bug #80615) * ResultSet.getString() sometimes returned garbled data for columns of the JSON data type. This was because JSON data was binary encoded by MySQL using the utf8mb4 character set, but decoded by Connector/J using the ISO-8859-1 character set. This patch fixes the decoding for JSON data. Thanks to Dong Song Ling for contributing to the fix. (Bug #22891845, Bug #80631) * When working with MySQL Fabric, Connector/J hung when the Fabric node was down. With this fix, when the Fabric node is down, all active connections continue to work based on the cached information on the server group and the sharding setup, although no new connections can be established. (Bug #22750465) * When Connector/J retrieved the value of a BIT column as an integer using, for example, getInt() or getLong(), it returned a wrong value if the BIT value happened to be equivalent to the decimal value of some ASCII digit. This was because Connector/J attempted to parse the value as a string-encoded integer; thus, for example, the BIT value "110001" (decimal 49 in binary) was interpreted as the string "1" (whose ASCII value in decimal is 49), so the numerical value of "1" was returned. This fix corrected the parsing behavior of Connector/J on BIT values, so they are always interpreted as binary coded. (Bug #21938551, Bug #78685) * Connector/J could not parse the host name and port number from connection URLS staring with the word "address," resulting in an UnknownHostException. This was because the URLs were being interpreted incorrectly as using the alternate URL format, which starts with "address=...." This patch fixes the parser for proper interpretation of the URL in the situation. (Bug #21389278, Bug #77649) * When the connection property useLocalTransactionState was set to "true" and autocommit was set to "false" on the server, if any exception was thrown, any further calls for rollback() or commit() were not sent to the server. It was because when there was an exception while executing a query, Connector/J lost the information regarding the server's transaction state. This patch fixes this issue by preserving the previous transaction state for the current connection when any exception is thrown. (Bug #20212882, Bug #75209) * An invalid connection URL caused Connector/J to throw a NullPointerException. With this fix, an SQLException is thrown instead in the situation. (Bug #18759269, Bug #72632) * When a very large amount of compressed data is transmitted from the server to the client and under very special circumstances, a CommunicationsException might occur. It happened when a single compressed packet from the server was not big enough to provide an entire uncompressed packet to the client side. With this fix, Connector/J reads as many compressed packets as necessary to fill the size of the uncompressed packet that was being requested.
