🌐 Web query:

For MySQL Connector/J 9.7.0, what MySQL Server versions are officially supported? Please use official MySQL documentation/release notes and confirm whether MySQL 5.7 and early 8.0 versions are still supported.

💡 Result:

MySQL Connector/J 9.7.0 officially supports MySQL Server versions 8.0 and higher. It does not support MySQL 5.7 or early 8.0 versions (such as 8.0.0 to 8.0.x prior to full 8.0 stability, but specifically the compatibility is stated as 8.0 and up, excluding 5.7).[1][2]

MySQL Connector/J 9.7.0 drops support for MySQL 5.7 and earlier 8.0 versions

Line 462 upgrades the JDBC driver to 9.7.0, which officially supports only MySQL Server 8.0 and higher. This breaks compatibility with any MySQL 5.7 installations. Confirm that Openfire no longer needs to support MySQL 5.7 before merging, or defer this upgrade until a major version release boundary.

In `@xmppserver/pom.xml` at line 462, The pom.xml change bumps the
mysql-connector-java <version> to 9.7.0 which drops support for MySQL 5.7;
either revert the dependency to the latest 8.0.x release (restore the previous
mysql-connector-java version in the <version> element for the dependency with
artifactId mysql-connector-java) or move the 9.7.0 upgrade into a
breaking-change/major-release branch and document that Openfire no longer
supports MySQL 5.7; update the pom and release notes accordingly so the project
retains 5.7 compatibility unless you intentionally cut a major release that
removes it.
