client capabilities included into libmysqld
some API methods became "virtual"
lots of duplicated code removed
IMHO all the above made library's code way more pleasant to look at, didn't it?
bmove_allign -> bmove_align
Added OLAP function ROLLUP
Split mysql_fix_privilege_tables to a script and a .sql data file
Added new (MEMROOT*) functions to avoid calling current_thd() when creating some common objects.
Added table_alias_charset, for easier --lower-case-table-name handling
Better SQL_MODE handling (Setting complex options also sets sub options)
New (faster) assembler string functions for x86
Fixed problem with localtime -> gmt where some times resulted in
different (but correct) timestamps. Now MySQL should use the smallest
possible timestamp value in this case. (Bug 316)
Call pthread_mutex_destroy() on not used mutex.
Changed comments in .h and .c files from // -> /* */
Added detection of mutex on which one didn't call pthread_mutex_destroy()
Fixed bug in create_tmp_field() which causes a memory overrun in queries that uses "ORDER BY constant_expression"
Added optimisation for ORDER BY NULL
Added bug fix from 3.23 for AIX 4.3.3 and gcc 3.x
Small change in EXCHANGE output
Propagate open-files-limit from mysqld_safe -> mysqld
Fixed speed bug in GROUP BY
Added quotes around database name in CREATE DATABASE db_name (for binary log)
Warning handling and initial prepared statement handling (last not complete yet)
Changed a lot of functions that returned 0/1 to my_bool type.
GRANT handling now uses read/write locks instead of mutex
Change basic net functions to use THD instead of NET
(needed for 4.1 protocol)
Use my_sprintf instead of sprintf() + strlen()
Added alloc_query() to be able to chare query initialization code with
prepared statements.
Cleanup handling of SHOW COUNT(*) WARNINGS and SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID()
Note that the following test fails (will be fixed ASAP):
sub_select, union, rpl_rotate_logs and rpl_mystery22
Improve mysql-test to be more robust.
Fix that GRANT doesn't delete SSL options
Change innobase_flush_log_at_trx_commit to uint.
Don't rotate logs if we read a rotate log entry from the master.
Some simple optimzations, more comments and indentation changes.
Add ` around database in 'use database' in binary log.
Moved max_error_count and max_warning_count to variables struct.
Removed SHOW_WARNS_COUNT and SHOW_ERRORS_COUNT calls.
Changed string functions to use character set of first string argument as default return characterset
(Each string function can change the above assumption if needed)
