with the space character.
When the my_strnncollsp_simple function compares two strings and one is a prefix
of another then this function compares characters in the rest of longer key
with the space character to find whether the longer key is greater or less.
But the sort order of the collation isn't used in this comparison. This may
lead to a wrong comparison result, wrongly created index or wrong order of the
result set of a query with the ORDER BY clause.
Now the my_strnncollsp_simple function uses collation sort order to compare
the characters in the rest of longer key with the space character.
When a table is being updated it has two set of fields - fields required for
checks of conditions and fields to be updated. A storage engine is allowed
not to retrieve columns marked for update. Due to this fact records can't
be compared to see whether the data has been changed or not. This makes the
server always update records independently of data change.
Now when an auto-updatable timestamp field is present and server sees that
a table handle isn't going to retrieve write-only fields then all of such
fields are marked as to be read to force the handler to retrieve them.
An assertion abort could occur for some grouping queries that employed
decimal user variables with assignments to them.
The problem appeared the constructors of the class Field_new_decimal
because the function my_decimal_length_to_precision did not guarantee
returning decimal precision not greater than DECIMAL_MAX_PRECISION.
The cast operation ignored the cases when the precision and/or the scale exceeded
the limits, 65 and 30 respectively. No errors were reported in these cases.
For some queries this may lead to an assertion abort.
Fixed by throwing errors for such cases.
The SELECT INTO OUTFILE FIELDS ENCLOSED BY digit or minus sign,
followed by the same LOAD DATA INFILE statement, used wrond encoding
of non-string fields contained the enclosed character in their text
representation.
Example:
SELECT 15, 9 INTO OUTFILE 'text' FIELDS ENCLOSED BY '5';
Old encoded result in the text file:
5155 595
^ was decoded as the 1st enclosing character of the 2nd field;
^ was skipped as garbage;
^ ^ was decoded as a pair of englosing characters of the 1st field;
^ was decoded as traling space of the first field;
^^ was decoded as a doubled enclosed character.
New encoded result in the text file:
51\55 595
^ ^ pair of enclosing characters of the 1st field;
^^ escaped enclosed character.
AsText() needs to know the maximum number of
characters a IEEE double precision value can
occupy to make sure there's enough buffer space.
The number was too small to hold all possible
values and this caused buffer overruns.
Fixed by correcting the calculation of the
maximum digits in a string representation of an
IEEE double precision value as printed by
String::qs_append(double).
Problem: logging queries not using indexes we check a special flag which
is set only at the server startup and is not changing with a corresponding
server variable together.
Fix: check the variable value instead of the flag.

Fulltext parser may fall into infinite loop when it gets illegal
multibyte sequence (or a sequence that doesn't have mapping to unicode).
Affects 5.1 only.
Problem: in case of failed 'show binlog events...' we don't inform that
the log is not in use anymore. That may confuse following 'purge logs...'
command as it takes into account logs in use.
Fix: always notify that the log is not in use anymore.
