Functionality added or changed:
Incompatible Change: MySQL Cluster:
The LockPagesInMainMemory configuration
parameter has changed its type and possible values. For more
information, see
LockPagesInMainMemory
.
The values true and
false are no longer accepted for this
parameter. If you were using this parameter and had it set to
false in a previous release, you must
change it to 0. If you had this parameter
set to true, you should instead use
1 to obtain the same behavior as
previously, or 2 to take advantage of new
functionality introduced with this release, as described in
the section cited above.
Incompatible Change:
Previously, the DATE_FORMAT()
function returned a binary string. Now it returns a string with
a character set and collation given by
character_set_connection and
collation_connection so that it
can return month and weekday names containing non-ASCII
characters.
(Bug#22646)
Bugs fixed:
Security Fix:
Using an INFORMATION_SCHEMA table with
ORDER BY in a subquery could cause a server
crash.
We would like to thank Oren Isacson of Flowgate Security Consulting and Stefan Streichsbier of SEC Consult for informing us of this problem. (Bug#24630, Bug#26556, CVE-2007-1420)
Incompatible Change:
For ENUM columns that had
enumeration values containing commas, the commas were mapped to
0xff internally. However, this rendered the
commas indistinguishable from true 0xff
characters in the values. This no longer occurs. However, the
fix requires that you dump and reload any tables that have
ENUM columns containing any true
0xff values. Dump the tables using
mysqldump with the current server before
upgrading from a version of MySQL 5.0 older than 5.0.36 to
version 5.0.36 or newer.
