SSH Tunneling in Connector/Net

A couple of years ago, MySQL Connector/Net shipped with a feature that allowed the connector to automatically create a SSH “tunnel” to a remote MySQL host. This could be useful in that it allows a remote MySQL host to only run with a secure port and a local client could connect to a local port to access it. We wrote about that feature in a blog post you can read here.

Today we are announcing that starting with the 8.0.24 release we are removing that feature. We decided to take this action for a few reasons. First, very few people were actually using the feature. Including a security sensitive feature that few people use is something we always want to examine. In addition, we were starting to encounter some friction between the encryption methods and ciphers that library supported and those that we wanted to support …

New MySQL Entity Framework Core packages for the Connector/NET Provider at NuGet

Hello MySQL Connector/NET community,

Starting with the 8.0.23 release, our provider for Entity Framework Core has a new name. The main goal is to keep support for the different versions of Microsoft Entity Framework Core and to ensure those versions remain tighly coupled with our releases. Also, this new naming is more specific regarding the purpose of the package. Hence the Data part of the name was removed.

Before:

    MySql.Data.EntityFrameworkCore v8.0.x

Now:

    MySql.EntityFrameworkCore v8.0.x

Now that Microsoft maintains more than a single version of Entity Framework Core, we needed to find a way to name our packages and maintain the correlation between the versions of Entity Framework Core and MySQL. So that’s when we came up with using the metadata of the packages. The package version now consists of two parts, the …

Support for Date-Time Types in Connector/J 8.0

Connector/J version 8.0.23 came out with several bug fixes related to date-time types support. They provide more flexibility for configuring time zone handling and allow migration from Connector/J 5.1 with much less effort.

Problems with migration from Connector/J 5.1 to Connector/J 8.0 were caused by the early decision that Connector/J 8.0 should always try to preserve an instant point on the time-line while Connector/J 5.1 does it optionally and, by default, preserves the original visual representation.

For example, the following code will store different results with Connector/J 5.1 and Connector/J 8.0 in case the client and server time zones are different:

Statement st = conn.createStatement();
st.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE t1 (ts TIMESTAMP)");

PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (?)");
ps.setTimestamp(1, Timestamp.valueOf("2020-01-01 12:00:00"));
ps.executeUpdate();

If the client …

Deprecating End-of-life runtime engines on Connector/Node.js

Starting with the 8.0.23 release, Connector/Node.js will be deprecating support for End-of-life Node.js engine versions. Support for these versions will eventually be removed on subsequent releases which will focus on compatibility with the available LTS versions at the date of each release.

Why now?

Up until now, the minimum Node.js engine version compatible with Connector/Node.js was version 4.2.0. This is a fairly old release that has reached End-of-life status in 2018 and, of course, hasn’t been maintained since then. This is also the case for the next two major Node.js versions – v6 and v8 – and will soon (April 30, 2021) be the case for Node.js v10. So, as of today, the oldest LTS version available is effectively Node.js v12, and the …
