Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:26:47 -0500 From: madodel Subject: [VOICENWS] SW: MySQL 5.1.26-rc has been released ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++ From: Paul Smedley Hi All, It's taken me a while to get this one built and debugged, but finally an OS/2 binary of MySQL 5.1.26-rc is available. This is expected to be the last RC before the GA code is released, so feedback on the build is appreciated. http://os2ports.smedley.info and http://mantis.smedley.info are running with this version of MySQL so it's working fine here :) Cheers, Paul. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: MySQL 5.1.26-rc has been released Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:05:05 +0200 From: Joerg Bruehe Dear MySQL users, We are proud to present to you the MySQL Server 5.1.26-rc release, a new "release candidate" version of the popular open source database. MySQL 5.1.26-rc is slated to be the last release candidate before we declare MySQL 5.1 as "production ready" (GA). We therefore appreciate any feedback and community testing of this release, to ensure that we have ironed out any remaining critical issues. This one is still labeled a "candidate" release, so the usual hints about a pre-production release apply. For production level systems using 5.0, we would like to direct your attention to the product description of MySQL Enterprise at: http://mysql.com/products/enterprise/ The MySQL 5.1.26-rc release is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites. Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or choose another download site. Please also note that some of our mirrors are currently experiencing problems that may result in serving corrupted files. We are working with the mirror maintainers to resolve this. We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes, patches etc.: http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Contributing The following section lists the changes from version to version in the MySQL source code since the latest released version of MySQL 5.1, the MySQL 5.1.25-rc release. It can also be viewed online at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-26.html Sincerely, Jörg Brühe The MySQL build team at Sun Microsystems ======================================================================= News from the Changelog: Functionality added or changed: * The FEDERATED storage engine now is disabled by default in binary distributions. The engine is still available and can be enabled by starting the server with the --federated option. (Bug#37069: http://bugs.mysql.com/37069) Bugs fixed: * An empty bit-string literal (b'') caused a server crash. Now the expression is accepted as an empty binary string (which has a value of 0 in numeric context). (Bug#35658: http://bugs.mysql.com/35658) * Replication: Performing an insert on a table having an AUTO_INCREMENT column and an INSERT trigger that was being replicated from a master running MySQL 5.0 or any version of MySQL 5.1 up to and including MySQL 5.1.11 to a slave running MySQL 5.1.12 or later caused the replication slave to crash. (Bug#36443: http://bugs.mysql.com/36443) See also Bug#33029: http://bugs.mysql.com/33029 * Row-based replication broke for utf8 CHAR columns longer than 85 characters. (Bug#37426: http://bugs.mysql.com/37426) * NOT IN subqueries that selected MIN() or MAX() values but produced an empty result could cause a server crash. (Bug#37004: http://bugs.mysql.com/37004) * ha_innodb.so was incorrectly installed in the lib/mysql directory rather than in lib/mysql/plugin. (Bug#36434: http://bugs.mysql.com/36434) * The code for detecting a byte order mark (BOM) caused mysql to crash for empty input. (Bug#35480: http://bugs.mysql.com/35480) * The mysql client incorrectly parsed statements containing the word "delimiter" in mid-statement.
