Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/ODBC 8.0.16 is a new version in the MySQL Connector/ODBC 8.0 series,
the ODBC driver for the MySQL Server.

The available downloads include both a Unicode driver and an ANSI driver based on the
same modern codebase. Please select the driver type you need based on the type of your
application – Unicode or ANSI. Server-side prepared statements are enabled by default.
It is suitable for use with the latest MySQL server version 8.0.

This release of the MySQL ODBC driver is conforming to the ODBC 3.8 specification.
It contains implementations of key 3.8 features, including self-identification
as a ODBC 3.8 driver, streaming of output parameters (supported for binary types
only), and support of the SQL_ATTR_RESET_CONNECTION connection attribute (for the
Unicode driver only).

The release is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms
from our download pages at

https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/

For information on installing, please see the documentation at

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-odbc/en/connector-odbc-installation.html

Enjoy and thanks for the support!

Changes in MySQL Connector/ODBC 8.0.16 (2019-04-25, General Availability)

Bugs Fixed

* Connector/ODBC 8.0 is now built with OpenSSL 1.0.2R.
Issues fixed in the new OpenSSL version are described at
http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html. (Bug
#29538143)

* An exception was emitted when fetching contents of a
BLOB/TEXT records after executing a statement as a
server-side prepared statement with a bound parameter.
The workaround is not using parameters or specifying
NO_SSPS=1 in the connection string; this allows the
driver to fetch the data. (Bug #29282638, Bug #29512548,
Bug #28790708, Bug #93895, Bug #94545, Bug #92078)
