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).

**For a description of this library see the**[**MariaDB Connector/C**](/docs/connectors/mariadb-connector-c.md) **page.**

## 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](/docs/server/server-management/variables-and-modes/server-system-variables.md#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 Visual 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
