Here's the whole text: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/myodbc-versions.html

QUOTE
Connector/ODBC 5.1, currently in Beta status, is a partial rewrite of the of the 3.51 code base and is designed to work all versions of MySQL from 4.1. Connector/ODBC 5.1 will be a complete implementation of the ODBC Core interface,plus more Level 1 and Level 2 functionality of the ODBC specification than that currently supported by Connector/ODBC 3.51. See Section 30.1.2.1, “Connector/ODBC Roadmap”.

Connector/ODBC 5.1 also includes the following changes and improvements over the 3.51 release:
  • Improved support on Windows 64-bit platforms.
  • Full Unicode support at the driver level. This includes support for the SQL_WCHAR datatype, and support for Unicode login, password and DSN configurations. For more information,. see Microsoft Knowledgebase Article #716246.
  • Support for the SQL_NUMERIC_STRUCT datatype, which provides easier access to the precise definition of numeric values. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledgebase Article #714556
  • Native Windows setup library. This replaces the Qt library based interface for configuring DSN information within the ODBC Data Sources application.
  • Support for the ODBC descriptor, which improves the handling and metadata of columns and parameter data. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledgebase Article #716339.
