Version 6.0.0

Enhancements

• The driver has been enhanced to comply with FIPS standards for data encryption. As part of this enhancement, the driver was tested with FIPS 140-3 enabled using a Red Hat OpenJDK 21 on a Red Hat Universal Base Image 9 instance. Refer to FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) for details.*
  Available: 1/31/2025 | 6.0.0.001477
• The driver has been enhanced to use proxy server settings defined in the JVM system properties by default. If no proxy settings are defined in the connection string or data source, the driver will attempt to use the values of the http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort JVM system properties to connect to the database.*

Changed Behavior

• The installer program now requires you to install a JRE that is Java SE 11 or higher before running the installer. In earlier versions, the JRE used by the installer program was included in the product. However, to avoid potential security vulnerabilities, the installer program no longer includes a JRE. Instead, the installer program uses the JRE in your environment to allow for the most secure version of a JRE to be used.*
  Note: This change does not affect the JVM requirements for the driver. For the latest driver requirements, refer to the Product Compatibility Guide.
  Available: 7/3/2024
• The following connection properties have been removed from the driver: ConnectionRetryCount, ConnectionRetryDelay, LoginTimeout, and QueryTimeout. Refer to Connection property descriptions for a list of supported properties.*
• The following properties have been moved from the Advanced tab to the Performance tab on the Configuration Manager: RegisterStatementPoolMonitorMBean, StatementCallLimit, and StatementCallLimitBehavior.*
