Hello all,

MySQL Connector/J 5.1.36, a maintenance release of the production 5.1
branch has been released. Connector/J is a Type-IV pure-Java JDBC
driver for MySQL. It is suitable for use with MySQL server versions 5.5
and 5.6.

MySQL Connector Java is available in source and binary form from the
Connector/J download pages at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html

MySQL Connector Java (Commercial) is available for download on the My
Oracle Support (MOS) website. This release will be available on
eDelivery (OSDC) in next month's upload cycle.

As always, we recommend that you check the "CHANGES" file in the
download archive to be aware of changes in behavior that might affect
your application.

MySQL Connector/J 5.1.36 includes the following general bug fixes and
improvements, also available in more detail on
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/en/news-5-1-36.html :

Changes in MySQL Connector/J 5.1.36 (2015-07-02)

Version 5.1.36 is a maintenance release of the production 5.1
branch. It is suitable for use with MySQL server versions
5.5, and 5.6.

Functionality Added or Changed

   * The files in the Maven Central Repository for each
     Connector/J release have been reorganized and a source
     artifact (*-sources.jar) has been added, for release
     5.1.21 and after. (Bug #20283655, Bug #75335)

Bugs Fixed

   * Results returned by DatabaseMetaData.getCatalogs() were
     not properly sorted by catalog name. (Bug #21215151)

   * A ClassCastException occurred when Connector/J was
     executing a streaming prepared statement in a Fabric
     environment. (Bug #21184949, Bug #77217)

   * Connector/J did not use the character set specified with
     the connection property passwordCharacterEncoding for
     authentication. With this fix, the property is now
     honored. If it is not set, Connector/J uses the value of
     characterEncoding instead; if even that is not set,
     Conenctor/J defaults to UTF-8 for the password's
     encoding. (Bug #20825727)

   * A failover did not occur for a MySQL Fabric connection
     during the failure of a master server. It was because the
     state change of the Fabric connection group was not
     handled properly, which hs been corrected by this fix.
     (Bug #20821888, Bug #75113)

   * When the getDate() and getTime() methods of ResultSet
     were called to retrieve values with fractional seconds, a
     "bad format" error occurred. With this fix, the
     fractional seconds are dropped before the retrieved
     values are converted into a Date or Time object. (Bug
     #20804635)

   * A StringIndexOutOfBoundsException occurred when
     getProcedureColumns() were trying to return ENUM or SET
     type procedures or functions that involved reserved
     words. That was caused by a problem in the parser for the
     functions' or procedures' CREATE statements, which this
     fix corrects. (Bug #20727196)

   * At every connection, Connector/J executed a SHOW
     VARIABLES WHERE statement over a multitude of variables,
     which consumed a lot of time and memory. To improve the
     efficiency of the code, this fix replaces the statement
     with the more efficient SELECT @@variable query and also
     implements some other related changes. (Bug #20408891,
     Bug #75592)

   * getProcedures(), getFunctions(), getProcedureColumns(),
     and getFunctionColumns() returned duplicate results when
     the connection parameter nullCatalogMeansCurrent was set
     to "false." (Bug #19803348)

   * An UnsupportedEncodingException during handshake gave
     rise to a NullPointerException. With this fix, the
     NullPointerException is no longer thrown, and a proper
     error message is provided by Connector/J. (Bug #18758686,
     Bug #72630)

   * When using Connector/J with MySQL Fabric, the
     createGroup() method failed with a ClassCastException.
     (Bug #18719760, Bug #72546)

   * Using Connector/J to connect with non-null user name and
     password to a MySQL Fabric server that had authentication
     disabled resulted in a NullPointerException. (Bug
     #18425861, Bug #72077)

   * The change user functionality in Connector/J was
     dependent on Bug# 70865 of the MySQL server (for releases
     5.5 and later, the server unnecessarily sends a
     plugin_request_packet for every COM_CHANGE_USER packet).
     That dependence made the
     com.mysql.jdbc.jdbc2.optional.MysqlConnectionPoolDataSour
     ce interface fail for server versions or forks that did
     not have the same bug. This fix removes that dependence
     and makes the interface function properly, whether the
     server suffers Bug# 70865 or not. (Bug #17810800, Bug
     #70927)

   * JDBC4MySQLPooledConnection keeps a list of
     statementEventListener instances named
     statementEventListeners, which is used as monitor lock
     whenever the fireStatementEvent() method is called.
     However, because the pooled connection's close() method
     set statementEventListener to be null, if a prepared
     statement was closed after its holding pooled connection
     had already been closed, the subsequent
     fireStatementEvent() call would run into a
     NullPointerException. This fix prevents the problem by
     having JDBC4MySQLPooledConnection initializing
     statementEventListeners properly and never setting it to
     null, thus allowing it to be used all the time as a
     monitor lock. (Bug #16444069, Bug #62452)
