Bugs fixed:
- There was a short circuit evaluation error in the - MySqlCommand.CheckState()method. When the statement- connection == nullwas true a- NullReferenceExceptionwas thrown and not the expected- InvalidOperationException. (Bug#38276)
- Executing a command that resulted in a fatal exception did not close the connection. (Bug#37991) 
- In a .NET application MySQL Connector/NET modifies the connection string so that it contains several occurrences of the same option with different values. This is illustrated by the example that follows. - The original connection string: - host=localhost;database=test;uid=*****;pwd=*****; connect timeout=25; auto enlist=false;pooling=false;- The connection string after closing - MySqlDataReader:- host=localhost;database=test;uid=*****;pwd=*****; connect timeout=25;auto enlist=false;pooling=false; Allow User Variables=True;Allow User Variables=False; Allow User Variables=True;Allow User Variables=False;
- As - MySqlDbType.DateTimeis not available in- VB.Netthe warning The datetime enum value is obsolete was always shown during compilation. (Bug#37406)
- An unknown - MySqlErrorCodewas encountered when opening a connection with an incorrect password. (Bug#37398)
- Documentation incorrectly stated that “the DataColumn class in .NET 1.0 and 1.1 does not permit columns with type of UInt16, UInt32, or UInt64 to be autoincrement columns”. (Bug#37350) 
- SemaphoreFullExceptionis generated when application is closed. (Bug#36688)
- GetSchemadid not work correctly when querying for a collection, if using a non-English locale. (Bug#35459)
- When reading back a stored double or single value using the .NET provider, the value had less precision than the one stored. (Bug#33322) 
- Using the MySQL Visual Studio plugin and a MySQL 4.1 server, certain field types ( - ENUM) would not be identified correctly. Also, when looking for tables, the plugin would list all tables matching a wildcard pattern of the database name supplied in the connection string, instead of only tables within the specified database.
