MySQL Connector/Net 6.3 Alpha 2 has been released

MySQL Connector/Net 6.3.1, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver
for MySQL has been released. This is an alpha release and is intended to
introduce you to the new features and enhancements we are planning. This
release should not be used in a production environment.

It is now available in source and binary form from
[http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.3.html] and mirror sites
(note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point of time
- if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later
or choose another download site.)

The new features or changes in this release are:

  • Visual Studio 2010 RC support

  • Nested transaction scope support


What we know may be broken
----------------------------

  • Documentation is not updated yet and is not integrated into VS 2010

  • Some users are having trouble installing.  We are working hard to determine what is causing this problem.  These users may continue having trouble with 6.3.1.  Please be patient as we work through this.


Please let us know what else we broke and how we can make it better!

  9. Hi,

    are there any new news of the 6.3.2 installer?
    Tried to install 6.3.1 under Win7, 64 Bit - but the installer aborted the installation - no error, no info... :-(

    Thanks,

    Stone

  10. Any new updates on this? I have the install issue with 6.3.1 and that's still what I'm seeing for a version when I go to: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.3.html

  11. any estimate as to when 6.3.x will be finalized and ready for production environments? thanks!

  12. I only see 6.3.1 (which crashes visual studio on a regular basis). Where is 6.3.2?

    For the install failure, go to your \windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework and Framework64 directories and for each subfolder delete any EMPTY config folder. Installation will then work.
