Just a note to say that the first generally-available/production release of Connector/J 5.0 is now available for download.
This branch has had the synchronization fixed up quite a bit (which should help with those using multi-threaded pool managers like C3p0), adds support for Statement.cancel() and Statement.setQueryTimeout() and adds support for XA distributed transactions as well.
We‘ve also started publishing our builds to Maven‘s repository (we just put in the request for 5.0.3 to be uploaded, so it might take a couple of days). Let me know if there‘s more you‘d like to see around that.
These builds also contain the complete coverage report and unit test results (against MySQL-4.0, 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1 on Redhat EL4, Solaris, Mac OS/X, Ubuntu LTS and Windows), which is why the archives are a bit bigger than they used to be.
You can download your copy today from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.html
