use the local machine's IP address instead of the host name when
building the initial grant tables if "skip-name-resolve" has been
specified in my.cnf. This can be helpful on FreeBSD to avoid
thread-safety problems with the FreeBSD resolver libraries.
(Thanks to Jeremy Zawodny for the patch)
(Do-compile)
- added mysql.info to the binary distribution files (BUG#1019)
- heavily reworked the Do-rpm script to be more in line with Do-pkg
- create a "docs" subdirectory in the binary distribution and moved the
manual, ChangeLog and mysql.info file into it to unclutter the top
directory
Unfortunately the returned value of "hostname" is inconsistent on
various platforms - some return the host name only, others return the
FQDN by default. On Linux, one can use option "-f" to enable the output
of the FQDN. Use it, if available.
"mysqlhotcopy fails to copy tables but does not indicate a failure"
("does not indicate a failure");
this is about "mysqlhotcopy fails to copy tables".
For now following tasks have been done:
- PASSWORD() function was rewritten. PASSWORD() now returns SHA1
hash_stage2; for new passwords user.password contains '*'hash_stage2; sql_yacc.yy also fixed;
- password.c: new functions were implemented, old rolled back to 4.0 state
- server code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm (check_user(), change
user, and other stuff in sql/sql_parse.cc)
- client code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm
(mysql_real_connect, myslq_authenticate in sql-common/client.c)
- now server barks on 45-byte-length 4.1.0 passwords and refuses 4.1.0-style
authentification. Users with 4.1.0 passwords are blocked (sql/sql_acl.cc)
- mysqladmin.c was fixed to work correctly with new passwords
Tests for 4.0-4.1.1, 4.1.1-4.1.1 (with or without db/password) logons was performed;
mysqladmin also was tested. Additional check are nevertheless necessary.
if one is running many mysqlds through mysqld_multi, for example.
Without this option, on Linux one mysqld_safe process may kill
other mysqlds as well, if started using the same binary and path.
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
