[MariaDB Connector/C++](https://github.com/mariadb-corporation/docs-release-notes/blob/test/en/about-mariadb-connector-cpp/README.md) is the interface between C++ applications and MariaDB Server. MariaDB Connector/C++ enables development of C++ applications using a JDBC-based API, which is also used by MariaDB Connector/J.

MariaDB Connector/C++ implements the MySQL protocol using the MariaDB Connector/C API. This release depends on MariaDB Connector/C 3.3.8.

## Notable Changes

* A new static Connector/C++ library mariadbcpp-static.(lib|a) is included in the release packages.
  * Symlink libmariadbcpp.a is created on platforms other than Windows
  * To link against the static library MARIADB\_STATIC\_LINK needs to be defined during compilation. ([CONCPP-117](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONCPP-117))
* Added support of connection attributes ([CONCPP-112](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONCPP-112))
  * Attributes can be defined in the URL or in properties under the name connectionAttributes in the format

```c
connectionAttributes=attr1:value1,attr2:value2
```

* New option WITH\_UNIT\_TESTS to allow building the connector with or without tests ([CONCPP-102](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONCPP-102))
  * New option BUILD\_TESTS\_ONLY can be used to only generate test projects
* Packages for Red Hat (rpm) and Debian/Ubuntu (deb) added

## Issues Fixed
