Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Connector/J 8.0.7 Development Release is a development milestone release for the 8.0.x series.
This release includes the following new features and changes, also described in more detail on https://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-j/8.0/en/news-8-0-7.html

MySQL Connectors and other MySQL client tools and applications now synchronize the first digit of their version number with the (highest) MySQL server version they support.
This change makes it easy and intuitive to decide which client version to use for which server version.

Connector/J 8.0.7 is the first release to use the new numbering. It is the successor to Connector/J 6.0.6

As always, we recommend that you check the “CHANGES” file in the download archive to be aware of changes in behavior that might affect your …

Here at MySQL we are constantly improving both our servers and our client software by making things simple to use and understand.  An area where we want to simplify things is around the version number we use for various MySQL client, connector, and other applications like Workbench, MySQL Enterprise Backup, etc.

Basically:

• We want to make sure our users easily know which version of a connector or client works with which server version(s).
• We want to deliver support for new server features during the server DMR phase without disrupting the GA versions of the connectors.

Which Connector Version To Use?

MySQL connectors (our client libraries — Connector/C, Connector/J, Connector/Net, etc) and other clients (tools and applications — MySQL Shell, MySQL Enterprise Backup, etc) will generally release more often than the server.  Relative to upgrading a set of servers in an …
