Connector/C, formerly known as MariaDB Client Library for C. In general,\
marking this release as *stable* means that there are no known serious bugs,\
except for those marked as feature requests, that no bugs were fixed since last\
release that caused a notable code changes, and that we believe the code is\
ready for general usage (based on bug inflow).

## New features

* [CONC-147](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONC-147): Allow client to bind to a specific network address:\
  On clients with multiple possible TCP routes to a server, it's now possible to bind the\
  client to a specific address.This can be done either via mysql\_options(mysql, MYSQL\_OPT\_BIND, bind\_address) or by an entry "[bind-address=your\_bind\_address](https://app.gitbook.com/s/SsmexDFPv2xG2OTyO5yV/server-management/variables-and-modes/server-system-variables#bind_address)" in the configuration file.

## Bug fixes

* [CONC-150](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONC-150): Source package doesn't contain mariadb\_config.c.in
* Add version information for executables, dynamic and static libraries (Windows only)
* Digitally sign executables and dynamic link libraries (Windows only)
* Fixed build errors for Microsoft Visuall Studio 2015
* Fix for mariadb\_convert\_string - charset names for utf16 and utf32 are changed so iconv understands it. Also if endianness is not specified, BE charsets used by default, to avoid BOMs
