This is a bug fix release to resolve an incompatibility issue with Connector/NET 5.0.1.
It is critical that this release only be used with Connector/NET
5.0.1. After installing Connector/NET 5.0.1, you will need to make
a small change in your machine.config file. This file should be
located at
%win%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config
(%win%
should be the location of your Windows
folder). Near the bottom of the file you will see a line like
this:
<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data"/>
It needs to be changed to be like this:
<add name="MySQL Data Provider" invariant="MySql.Data.MySqlClient" description=".Net Framework Data Provider for MySQL" type="MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlClientFactory, MySql.Data, Version=5.0.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c5687fc88969c44d"/>
