Dear MySQL Users,

A new GA (general availability) version of MySQL Connector/C has been
made available: MySQL Connector/C 6.1.11 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 6.1.11 (2017-07-24)

Security Notes

* The linked OpenSSL library for MySQL Connector/C 6.1
Commercial has been updated to version 1.0.2l. 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 #26321042)

Bugs Fixed

* Microsoft Windows: Program Database (PDB) files (with
file name extension .pdb) for debugging now are available
as -debug Zip packages. They are intended for use with
the main Connector/C Zip packages and should be unpacked
on top of an unpacked main package. (Bug #23283189)

* If the mysql_stmt_close() C API function was called, it
freed memory that later could be accessed if
mysql_stmt_error(), mysql_stmt_errno(), or
mysql_stmt_sqlstate() was called. To obtain error
information after a call to mysql_stmt_close(), call
mysql_error(), mysql_errno(), or mysql_sqlstate()
instead. (Bug #25988703)
