MySQL Connector/Net 6.7.2, a new version of the all-managed .NET driver for MySQL has been released.  This is the first beta release intended to introduce users to the new features in the release.  This release is feature complete, it should be stable enough for users to understand the new features and how we expect them to work.  As is the case with all non-GA releases, it should not be used in any production environment.  It is appropriate for use with MySQL server versions 5.0-5.7.
