Dear MySQL Users,

A new GA (general availability) version of MySQL Connector/C++ has been made available: MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1.11 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++ 1.1.11 (2018-04-30, General Availability)

Functionality Added or Changed

  • MySQL Connector/C++ 1.1 now works with both MySQL 5.7 GA and MySQL 8.0 GA servers.
      • Applications can connect to MySQL 8.0 servers using accounts that authenticate using the caching_sha2_password authentication plugin.
      • Applications can connect to MySQL 8.0 servers using unencrypted connections by using the OPT_GET_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY connection option with a value of true.
      • Connector/C++ 1.1 can be built from source against either MySQL 5.7 and MySQL 8.0 server installations.
      • A new BUNDLE_DEPENDENCIES CMake option is available. If enabled, the external libraries on which Connector/C++ depends at runtime (such as OpenSSL), are packaged together with the connector.
  • For connections to the server made using the legacy JDBC API (that is, not made using X DevAPI or XAPI), Connector/C++ now supports an OPT_GET_SERVER_PUBLIC_KEY connection option that enables requesting the RSA public key from the server. For accounts that use the caching_sha2_password or sha256_password authentication plugin, this key can be used during the connection process for RSA key-pair based password exchange with TLS disabled. This capability requires a MySQL 8.0 GA server, and is supported only for Connector/C++ built using OpenSSL.

Bugs Fixed

    • MySQL Connector/C++ packages now include a BUILDINFO.txt file that contains information about the build environment used to produce the distribution. (Bug #23556661)
