Added:
PURGE [MASTER] LOGS BEFORE date/date_expression
expire-logs-days option
With this option old files are deleted when
- mysqld is started
- log is rotated
- someone does FLUSH LOGS
Portability fixes
Added new client function: mysql_get_server_version()
New server help code (From Victor Vagin)
Fixed wrong usage of binary()
Disabled RTREE usage for now.
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
Don't use new password format if mysql.user has old format
tables_priv was not reset on FLUSH PRIVILEGES if tables_priv was empty
Portability fixes for Windows
Extended max_allowed_packet for clients to 1G
Fixed bug in sending compressed rows >= 16M
Fix bug in skiping too long packets from clients.
Added checking of wrong command number sent by client.
Class for sending data from server to client (Protocol)
This handles both the old ( <= 4.0 ) protocol and then new binary protocol that is used for prepared statements.
Implements creation and dropping of PROCEDUREs, IN, OUT, and INOUT parameters,
single-statement procedures, rudimentary multi-statement (begin-end) prodedures
(when the client can handle it), and local variables.
Missing most of the embedded SQL language, all attributes, FUNCTIONs, error handling,
reparses procedures at each call (no caching), etc, etc.
Certainly buggy too, but procedures can actually be created and called....
