- Updated some of the character code pages to be more accurate. 
- Fixed problem where readers could be opened on connections that had readers open. 
- Moved test to separate assembly - MySqlClientTests.
- Fixed stupid problem in driver with sequence out of order (Thanks Peter Belbin). 
- Added some pipe tests. 
- Increased default max pool size to 50. 
- Compiles with Mono 0-24. 
- Fixed connection and data reader dispose problems. 
- Added - Stringdata type handling to parameter serialization.
- Fixed sequence problem in driver that occurred after thrown exception (thanks Burkhard Perkens-Golomb). 
- Added support for - CommandBehavior.SingleRowto- DataReader.
- Fixed command SQL processing so quotation marks are better handled (thanks Theo Spears). 
- Fixed parsing of double, single, and decimal values to account for non-English separators. You still have to use the right syntax if you using hard coded SQL, but if you use parameters the code will convert floating point types to use '.' appropriately internal both into the server and out. 
- Added - MySqlStreamclass to simplify timeouts and driver coding.
- Fixed - DataReaderso that it is closed properly when the associated connection is closed. [thanks smishra]
- Made client more SqlClient compliant so that DataReaders have to be closed before the connection can be used to run another command. 
- Improved - DBNull.Valuehandling in the fields.
- Added several unit tests. 
- Fixed - MySqlExceptionbase class.
- Improved driver coding 
- Fixed bug where NextResult was returning false on the last resultset. 
- Added more tests for MySQL. 
- Improved casting problems by equating unsigned 32bit values to Int64 and unsigned 16bit values to Int32, and so forth. 
- Added new constructor for - MySqlParameterfor (name, type, size, srccol)
- Fixed bug in - MySqlDataReaderwhere it didn't check for null fieldlist before returning field count.
- Started adding - MySqlClientunit tests (added- MySqlClient/Testsfolder and some test cases).
- Fixed some things in Connection String handling. 
- Moved - INIT_DBto- MySqlPool. I may move it again, this is in preparation of the conference.
- Fixed bug inside - CommandBuilderthat prevented inserts from happening properly.
- Reworked some of the internals so that all three execute methods of Command worked properly. 
- Fixed many small bugs found during benchmarking. 
- The first cut of - CoonectionPoolingis working. "min pool size" and "max pool size" are respected.
- Work to enable multiple resultsets to be returned. 
- Character sets are handled much more intelligently now. The driver queries MySQL at startup for the default character set. That character set is then used for conversions if that code page can be loaded. If not, then the default code page for the current OS is used. 
- Added code to save the inferred type in the name,value constructor of - Parameter.
- Also, inferred type if value of null parameter is changed using - Valueproperty.
- Converted all files to use proper Camel case. MySQL is now MySql in all files. PgSQL is now PgSql. 
- Added attribute to PgSql code to prevent designer from trying to show. 
- Added - MySQLDbTypeproperty to Parameter object and added proper conversion code to convert from- DbTypeto- MySQLDbType).
- Removed unused - ObjectToStringmethod from- MySQLParameter.cs.
- Fixed - Add(..)method in- ParameterCollectionso that it doesn't use- Add(name, value)instead.
- Fixed - IndexOfand- Containsin- ParameterCollectionto be aware that parameter names are now stored without @.
- Fixed - Command.ConvertSQLToBytesso it only permits characters that can be in MySQL variable names.
- Fixed - DataReaderand- Fieldso that blob fields read their data from- Field.csand- GetBytesworks right.
- Added simple query builder editor to - CommandTextproperty of- MySQLCommand.
- Fixed - CommandBuilderand- Parameterserialization to account for Parameters not storing @ in their names.
- Removed - MySQLFieldTypeenum from Field.cs. Now using- MySQLDbTypeenum.
- Added - Designerattribute to several classes to prevent designer view when using VS.Net.
- Fixed Initial catalog typo in - ConnectionStringdesigner.
- Removed 3 parameter constructor for - MySQLParameterthat conflicted with (name, type, value).
- Changed - MySQLParameterso- paramNameis now stored without leading @ (this fixed null inserts when using designer).
- Changed - TypeConverterfor- MySQLParameterto use the constructor with all properties.
