Dear MySQL Connector/NET users,

We are proud to announce that the open source version of Connector/NET 8.0.11 is also available as official MySQL NuGet packages. Connector/NET 8.0.11 is a GA release that can be used in production environments. Additionally, users with an older version can safely upgrade if preferred.

What this means for Connector/NET users?

Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/Net 8.0.10 is the first release candidate of MySQL
Connector/Net to add support for the new X DevAPI. The X DevAPI enables
application developers to write code that combines the strengths of the

does not assume previous experience writing traditional SQL.

To learn more about how to write applications using the X DevAPI, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/x-devapi-userguide/en/index.html. For more
information about how the X DevAPI is implemented in Connector/Net, see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-net.

StackOverflow is an amazing site for coding questions. It was created by Joel Spolsky of joelonsoftware.com, Jeff Atwood of codinghorror.com, and some other incredibly smart guys who truly care about user experience. I have been a total fan of SO since it went mainstream and it's now a borderline addiction (you can see my StackOverflow badge on the right sidebar).
