## New functionality

It is now possible to connect to the server via Unix domain sockets (on Unix platforms) or shared memory (Windows). For domain socket connections, add\
"`localSocket=<socket_path>`" to the connection URL. For shared memory connections, add "`sharedMemory=<shared_memory_base_name>`".

Shared memory and unix domain socket support is implemented using Java Native\
Access (JNA) library, and this means that applications that use these features will need jna.jar and jna-platform.jar to be present in the classpath at runtime ([CONJ-50](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-50), [CONJ-51](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-51)). More information about the JNA project can be found at [jna](https://github.com/twall/jna)

## Bugs fixed in this release

Some of the bugs fixed include:

* `ResultSet.getTimestamp()` did not work with TIME columns ([CONJ-54](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-54))
* `DatabaseMetaData` will now return correct information about case sensitivity handling, dependent on `lower_case_table_names` database parameter([CONJ-55](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-55))
  * `supportsMixedCaseIdentifiers(),supportsMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers()` will return true if `lower_case_table_names` is 0 (case-sensitive)
  * `storesLowerCaseIdentifiers(),storesLowerCaseQuotedIdentifiers()` will return true if `lower_case_table_names` is 1 ( case-insensitive, lowercase conversion)
  * `storesMixedCase[Identifiers(),storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers()` will returns true if `lower_case_table_names` is 2 (case-insensitive, but case-preserving)
* `DatabaseMetaData.getDatabaseMinorVersion()` incorrectly returned major version instead of minor ([CONJ-56](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-56))
* `PreparedStatement.setObject()` now correctly handles objects of type `java.util.Date` ([CONJ-57](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-57))
* If connection is idle, `Statement.cancel()` is now a no-op. Previously,\
  "KILL QUERY" was sent to database no matter whether statement was executed or not ([CONJ-58](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-58))
* Provide public method `Driver.unloadDriver()` to cleanup after driver unload, to workaround Tomcat's classloading issues ([CONJ-61](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-61))
* Make `PreparedStatement.toString()` output more meaningful ([CONJ-62](https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/CONJ-62))
