Dear MySQL Users,

A new GA (general availability) version of MySQL Connector/C has been
made available: MySQL Connector/C 6.1.10 GA. The MySQL Connector/C 6.1
implements the MySQL 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/c/6.1.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.

Please see the documentation and the README file in the source distribution
for a detailed description of bugs that have been fixed.

Enjoy!

Changes in MySQL Connector/C 6.1.10 (2017-04-28, General
Availability)

Compilation Notes

* The Windows version of MySQL Connector/C Community is now
built using the dynamic C runtime libraries (that is,
with the /MD compiler option), with the following
implications for users:

+ Target hosts running Windows applications that use
MySQL Connector/C Community now need the Visual C++
Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015
(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145)
installed on them.

+ Client applications on Windows that use MySQL
Connector/C Community should be compiled with the
/MD compiler option.

Security Notes

* The linked OpenSSL library for MySQL Connector/C 6.1
Commercial has been updated to version 1.0.2k. For a description
of issues fixed in this version, see
http://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html. This change
does not affect the Oracle-produced MySQL Community build of
Connector/C, which uses the yaSSL library instead. (Bug
#25615447)
