Functionality added or changed:
Added option --log-error[=file_name] to
mysqld_safe and
mysqld. This option will force all error
messages to be put in a log file if the option
--console is not given. On Windows
--log-error is enabled as default, with a
default name of host_name.err if the name
is not specified.
Changed some things from Warning: to
Note: in the log files.
The mysqld server should now compile on NetWare.
Added optimization that if one does GROUP BY ...
ORDER BY NULL then result is not sorted.
New --ft-stopword-file command-line option
for mysqld to replace/disable the
built-in stopword list that is used in full-text searches.
See Secção 4.6.8.4, “SHOW VARIABLES”.
Changed default stack size from 64K to 192K; This fixes a
core dump problem on Red Hat 8.0 and other systems with a
glibc that requires a stack size larger
than 128K for gethostbyaddr() to resolve
a hostname. You can fix this for earlier MySQL versions by
starting mysqld with
--thread-stack=192K.
Added mysql_waitpid to the binary
distribution and the MySQL-client RPM
subpackage (required for mysql-test-run).
Renamed the main MySQL RPM package to
MySQL-server. When updating from an older
version, MySQL-server.rpm will simply
replace MySQL.rpm.
If a slave is configured with
replicate_wild_do_table=db.% or
replicate_wild_ignore_table=db.%, these
rules will be applied to CREATE/DROP
DATABASE too.
Added timeout value for
MASTER_POS_WAIT().
Bugs fixed:
Fixed initialisation of the random seed for newly created
threads to give a better rand()
distribution from the first call.
Fixed a bug that caused mysqld to hang
when a table was opened with the HANDLER
command and then dropped without being closed.
Fixed bug in logging to binary log (which affects
replication) a query that inserts a NULL
in an AUTO_INCREMENT column and also uses
LAST_INSERT_ID().
Fixed an unlikely bug that could cause a memory overrun when
using ORDER BY constant_expression.
Fixed a table corruption in myisamchk's
parallel repair mode.
Fixed bug in query cache invalidation on simple table renaming.
Fixed bug in mysqladmin --relative.
On some 64 bit systems, show status
reported a strange number for Open_files
and Open_streams.
Fixed incorrect number of columns in
EXPLAIN on empty table.
Fixed bug in LEFT JOIN that caused zero
rows to be returned in the case the WHERE
condition was evaluated as FALSE after
reading const tables. (Unlikely
condition).
FLUSH PRIVILEGES didn't correctly flush
table/column privileges when
mysql.tables_priv is empty.
Fixed bug in replication when using LOAD DATA
INFILE one a file that updated an
AUTO_INCREMENT column with
NULL or 0. This bug
only affected MySQL 4.0 masters (not slaves or MySQL 3.23
masters). Note: If you have
a slave that has replicated a file with generated
AUTO_INCREMENT columns then the slave
data is corrupted and you should reinitialise the affected
tables from the master.
Fixed possible memory overrun when sending a
BLOB value larger than 16M to the client.
Fixed incorrect error message when setting a NOT
NULL column to an expression that returned
NULL.
Fixed core dump bug in str LIKE
"%other_str%" where str or
other_str contained characters >= 128.
Fixed bug: When executing on master LOAD
DATA and InnoDB failed with
table full error the binary log was
corrupted.
