I remove the --old-rpl-compat which produces broken binlogs readable
neither by 4.0 nor by 3.23.
This option is a leftover of the early replication of 4.0.0, when
it was still partly compatible with 3.23.
I explained this to the user in the bug report.
Added support for lower_case_table_names=2, which is to be used on case insensitive file systems.
This tells MySQL to preserve the used case of filenames and database names to make it esier to move files between cases sensitive can case insensitive file systems (like Windows and Linux)
install-test-db did not substiture the path to charsets file, so tests failed with non-default collation incompiled, for example --with-collation=latin1_german1_ci
mysqld.cc:
better error messaging
Cleaned up embedded library access and query cache handling
Changed min stack size to 128K (to allow longer MyISAM keys)
Fixed wrong priority for XOR (should be less than NEG to get -1^1 to work)
Signed auto_increment keys for HASH tables (like for MyISAM tables in 4.0)
nitialize system_charset_info() early. Fixes core dump when starting windows service
Don't dump data for MRG_ISAM or MRG_MYISAM tables. (Bug #1846)
Ensure that 'lower_case_table_names' is always set on case insensitive file systems. (Bug #1812)
One can now configure MySQL as windows service as a normal user. (Bug #1802)
Database names is now compared with lower case in ON clause when lower_case_table_names is set. (Bug #1736)
IGNORE ... LINES option didn't work when used with fixed length rows. (Bug #1704)
Change INSERT DELAYED ... SELECT... to INSERT .... SELECT (Bug #1983)
Safety fix for service 'mysql start' (Bug #1815)
Otherwise, if the previous run ended with a crash, and the PID was 1234,
and you have rebooted the machine and the new PID is 99 then in the PID
file you will have 9934.
Note: users of mysqld_safe did not have the problem because this script
deletes the PID file before starting mysqld.
New formats added for 'week()' function and 'default_week_format' option(4 - 7).
Next formats is supported now:
*Value* *Meaning*
`0' Week starts on Sunday; First Sunday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 0-53.
`1' Week starts on Monday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 0-53.
`2' Week starts on Sunday; First Sunday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 1-53.
`3' Week starts on Monday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 1-53.
`4' Week starts on Sunday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 0-53.
`5' Week starts on Monday; First Monday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 0-53.
`6' Week starts on Sunday; Weeks numbered according to ISO 8601:1988.
Week() returns 1-53.
`7' Week starts on Monday; First Monday of the year starts week 1.
Week() returns 1-53.
Added option --max-record-length=# to myisamchk
Don't try repair twice if doing myisamchk --repair --force
Shared memory handler didn't clean up things on errors or shutdown
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
