MySQL Reference Manual :: D MySQL Change History

This appendix lists the changes from version to version in the MySQL source code.

We are working actively on MySQL 4.1 and 5.0, and provide only critical bugfixes for MySQL 4.0 and MySQL 3.23. We update this section as we add new features, so that everybody can follow the development.

Our TODO section contains what further plans we have for MySQL 4.1 and 5.0. See Appendix C, MySQL and the Future (the TODO).

Note that we tend to update the manual at the same time we make changes to MySQL. If you find a recent version of MySQL listed here that you can't find on our download page (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/), it means that the version has not yet been released.

The date mentioned with a release version is the date of the last BitKeeper ChangeSet on which the release was based, not the date when the packages were made available. The binaries are usually made available a few days after the date of the tagged ChangeSet, because building and testing all packages takes some time.
