This is the first Beta release of 6.1.
Bugs fixed:
        In the MySqlDataReader class the
        GetSByte function returned a
        byte value instead of an
        sbyte value.
       (Bug#46620)
        The MySQL Connector/NET Profile Provider,
        MySql.Web.Profile.MySQLProfileProvider,
        generated an error when running on Mono. When an attempt was
        made to save a string in Profile.Name the
        string was not saved to the
        my_aspnet_Profiles table. If an attempt was
        made to force the save with Profile.Save()
        the following error was generated:
      
        Server Error in '/mono' Application

        An exception was generated when using
        TIMESTAMP columns with the Entity Framework.
       (Bug#46311)
        MySQL Connector/NET sometimes hung, without generating an exception. This
        happened if a read from a stream failed returning a 0, causing
        the code in LoadPacket() to enter an infinite
        loop.
       (Bug#46308)
When using MySQL Connector/NET 6.0.4 and a MySQL Server 4.1 an exception was generated when trying to execute:
        connection.GetSchema("Columns", ...);
      
The exception generated was:
        'connection.GetSchema("Columns")' threw an exception of type
        'System.ArgumentException'System.Data.DataTable {System.ArgumentException}
        base{"Input string was not in a correct format.Couldn't store <'Select'> in
        NUMERIC_PRECISION Column.  Expected type is UInt64."}System.Exception
        {System.ArgumentException}
      
        The MySQL Connector/NET method
        StoredProcedure.GetParameters(string) ignored
        the programmer's setting of the
        UseProcedureBodies option. This broke any
        application for which the application's parameter names did not
        match the parameter names in the Stored Procedure, resulting in
        an ArgumentException with the message
        “Parameter 'foo' not found in the collection.” and
        the following stack trace:

        Conversion of MySQL TINYINT(1) to
        boolean failed.
       (Bug#46205, Bug#46359, Bug#41953)
        When populating a MySQL database table in Visual Studio using
        the Table Editor, if a VARCHAR(10) column was
        changed to a VARCHAR(20) column an exception
        was generated:
      
        SystemArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid.
      To replace this default dialog please handle the DataError Event.
        The Entity Framework provider was not calling
        DBSortExpression correctly when the
        Skip and Take methods were
        used, such as in the following statement:
      
        TestModel.tblquarantine.OrderByDescending(q => q.MsgDate).Skip(100).Take(100).ToList();
      
This resulted in the data being unsorted. (Bug#45723)
The MySQL Connector/NET 6.0.4 installer failed with an error. The error message generated was:
        There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this
        install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
      
When OK was clicked to acknowledge the error the installer exited. (Bug#45474)
        Calling the Entity Framework SaveChanges()
        method of any MySQL ORM Entity with a column type
        TIME, generated an error message:
      
Unknown PrimitiveKind Time
Insert into two tables failed when using the Entity Framework. The exception generated was:
        The value given is not an instance of type 'Edm.Int32'
      
        Errors occurred when using the Entity Framework with cultures
        that used a comma as the decimal separator. This was because the
        formatting for SINGLE,
        DOUBLE and DECIMAL values
        was not handled correctly.
       (Bug#44455)
        When attempting to connect to MySQL using the Compact Framework
        version of MySQL Connector/NET, an
        IndexOutOfRangeException exception was
        generated on trying to open the connection.
       (Bug#43736)
        When reading data, such as with a
        MySqlDataAdapter on a
        MySqlConnection, MySQL Connector/NET could potentially
        enter an infinite loop in
        CompressedStream.ReadNextpacket() if
        compression was enabled.
       (Bug#43678)
An error occurred when building MySQL Connector/NET from source code checked out from the public SVN repository. This happened on Linux using Mono and Nant. The Mono JIT compiler version was 1.2.6.0. The Nant version was 0.85.
When an attempt was made to build (for example) the MySQL Connector/NET 5.2 branch using the command:
        $ nant -buildfile:Client.build
      
The following error occurred:
        BUILD FAILED
        Error loading buildfile.
        Encoding name 'Windows-1252' not supported.
        Parameter name: name
      
MySQL Connector/NET CHM documentation stated that MySQL Server 3.23 was supported. (Bug#42110)
In the case of long network inactivity, especially when connection pooling was used, connections were sometimes dropped, for example, by firewalls.
        Note: The bugfix introduced a new keepalive
        parameter, which prevents disconnects by sending an empty TCP
        packet after a specified timeout.
       (Bug#40684)
Calling a Stored Procedure with an output parameter through MySQL Connector/NET resulted in a memory leak. Calling the same Stored Procedure without an output parameter did not result in a memory leak. (Bug#36027)
