MySQL Connector/Net 6.5.4 has gone GA! This is the first
production-ready version of our new 6.5 connector and we are very
excited about it. Connector/Net is an all-managed .NET driver for MySQL
and is the best solution for your MySQL and .NET data access needs.

Version 6.5.4 includes full support for MySQL server versions 5.0-5.6
and includes some exciting new features such as:

* Much improved partial trust support. Hosting providers can now
configure their trust policies exactly the way they are configured
for SQL Server and your application can run without trouble in
partial/medium trust.
* Auto-completion support in the Visual Studio editor. We have
integrated a brand new parser into our Visual Studio work and we are
jut getting started showing it's benefits. Open up a VS editor start
typing your SQL and you'll see what i mean.
* Command injection support! Need to override some command that is
being run from deep within your application but don't want to
recompile? Need to force a certain value to be returned in a
situation for testing? Command injection is here to help.
* Exception interception support! This can help when your app is
throwing some exception and you want to trap it. You can trap these
errors and recover from them or log them in some other way. The
choice is yours!

We are very excited about this release and look forward to your feedback!
