:: DEVELOPER ZONE
Cleaned up NULL handling for default values in DESCRIBE table_name.
Fixed truncate() to round up negative values to the nearest integer.
Changed --chroot=path option to execute chroot() immediately
after all options have been parsed.
Don't allow database names that contain '\'.
lower_case_table_names now also affects database names.
Added XOR operator (logical and bitwise XOR) with ^
as a synonym for bitwise XOR.
Added function IS_FREE_LOCK("lock_name").
Based on code contributed by Hartmut Holzgraefe <hartmut@six.de>.
Removed mysql_ssl_clear() from C API, as it was not needed.
DECIMAL and NUMERIC types can now read exponential numbers.
Added SHA1() function to calculate 160 bit hash value as described
in RFC 3174 (Secure Hash Algorithm). This function can be considered a
cryptographically more secure equivalent of MD5().
See Secção 6.3.6.2, “Funções Diversas”.
Added AES_ENCRYPT() and AES_DECRYPT() functions to perform
encryption according to AES standard (Rijndael).
See Secção 6.3.6.2, “Funções Diversas”.
Added --single-transaction option to mysqldump, allowing a
consistent dump of InnoDB tables.
See Secção 4.9.7, “mysqldump, Descarregando a Estrutura de Tabelas e Dados”.
Fixed bug in innodb_log_group_home_dir in SHOW VARIABLES.
Fixed a bug in optimiser with merge tables when non-unique values are used in summing up (causing crashes).
Fixed a bug in optimiser when a range specified makes index grouping impossible (causing crashes).
Fixed a rare bug when FULLTEXT index is present and no tables are used.
Added privileges CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, EXECUTE,
LOCK TABLES, REPLICATION CLIENT, REPLICATION SLAVE,
SHOW DATABASES and SUPER. To use these, you must have
run the mysql_fix_privilege_tables script after upgrading.
Fixed query cache align data bug.
Fixed mutex bug in replication when reading from master fails.
Added missing mutex in TRUNCATE TABLE; This fixes some core
dump/hangup problems when using TRUNCATE TABLE.
Fixed bug in multiple-table DELETE when optimiser uses only indexes.
Fixed that ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME new_table_name is as fast
as RENAME TABLE.
Fixed bug in GROUP BY with two or more fields, where at least one
field can contain NULL values.
Use Turbo Boyer-Moore algorithm to speed up LIKE "%keyword%"
searches.
Fixed bug in DROP DATABASE with symlink.
Fixed crash in REPAIR ... USE_FRM.
Fixed bug in EXPLAIN with LIMIT offset != 0.
Fixed bug in phrase operator "..." in boolean full-text search.
Fixed bug that caused duplicated rows when using truncation operator
* in boolean full-text search.
Fixed bug in truncation operator of boolean full-text search (incorrect results
when there are only +word*s in the query).
Fixed bug in boolean full-text search that caused a crash when an identical
MATCH expression that did not use an index appeared twice.
Query cache is now automatically disabled in mysqldump.
Fixed problem on Windows 98 that made sending of results very slow.
Boolean full-text search weighting scheme changed to something more reasonable.
Fixed bug in boolean full-text search that caused MySQL to ignore queries of
ft_min_word_len characters.
Boolean full-text search now supports ``phrase searches''.
New configure option --without-query-cache.
Memory allocation strategy for ``root memory'' changed. Block size now grows with number of allocated blocks.
INET_NTOA() now returns NULL if you give it an argument that
is too large (greater than the value corresponding to 255.255.255.255).
Fix SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS to work with UNIONs. It will work only
if the first SELECT has this option and if there is global LIMIT
for the entire statement. For the moment, this requires using parentheses for
individual SELECT queries within the statement.
Fixed bug in SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS and LIMIT.
Don't give an error for CREATE TABLE ...(... VARCHAR(0)).
Fixed SIGINT and SIGQUIT problems in mysql.cc on Linux
with some glibc versions.
Fixed bug in convert.cc, which is caused by having an incorrect
net_store_length() linked in the CONVERT::store() method.
DOUBLE and FLOAT columns now honor the UNSIGNED flag
on storage.
InnoDB now retains foreign key constraints through ALTER TABLE
and CREATE/DROP INDEX.
InnoDB now allows foreign key constraints to be added through the
ALTER TABLE syntax.
InnoDB tables can now be set to automatically grow in size (autoextend).
Added --ignore-lines=n option to mysqlimport. This has the
same effect as the IGNORE n LINES clause for LOAD DATA.
Fixed bug in UNION with last offset being transposed to total result
set.
REPAIR ... USE_FRM added.
Fixed that DEFAULT_SELECT_LIMIT is always imposed on UNION
result set.
Fixed that some SELECT options can appear only in the first
SELECT.
Fixed bug with LIMIT with UNION, where last select is in
the braces.
Fixed that full-text works fine with UNION operations.
Fixed bug with indexless boolean full-text search.
Fixed bug that sometimes appeared when full-text search was used
with const tables.
Fixed incorrect error value when doing a SELECT with an empty
HEAP table.
Use ORDER BY column DESC now sorts NULL values first.
(In other words, NULL values sort first in all cases, whether or
not DESC is specified.) This is changed back in 4.0.10.
Fixed bug in WHERE key_name='constant' ORDER BY key_name DESC.
Fixed bug in SELECT DISTINCT ... ORDER BY DESC optimization.
Fixed bug in ... HAVING 'GROUP_FUNCTION'(xxx) IS [NOT] NULL.
Fixed bug in truncation operator for boolean full-text search.
Allow value of --user=# option for mysqld to be specified
as a numeric user ID.
Fixed a bug where SQL_CALC_ROWS returned an incorrect value when used
with one table and ORDER BY and with InnoDB tables.
Fixed that SELECT 0 LIMIT 0 doesn't hang thread.
Fixed some problems with USE/IGNORE INDEX when using
many keys with the same start column.
Don't use table scan with BerkeleyDB and InnoDB tables when
we can use an index that covers the whole row.
Optimized InnoDB sort-buffer handling to take less memory.
Fixed bug in multi-table DELETE and InnoDB tables.
Fixed problem with TRUNCATE and InnoDB tables that produced the
error Can't execute the given command because you have active locked tables or an active transaction.
Added NO_UNSIGNED_SUBTRACTION to the set of flags that may be
specified with the --sql-mode option for mysqld. It disables
unsigned arithmetic rules when it comes to subtraction. (This will make
MySQL 4.0 behave more like 3.23 with UNSIGNED columns).
The result returned for all bit functions (|, <<, ...) is now of
type unsigned integer.
Added detection of nan values in MyISAM to make it possible to
repair tables with nan in float or double columns.
Fixed new bug in myisamchk where it didn't correctly update number of
``parts'' in the MyISAM index file.
Changed to use autoconf 2.52 (from autoconf 2.13).
Fixed optimization problem where the MySQL Server was in ``preparing'' state for a long time when selecting from an empty table which had contained a lot of rows.
Fixed bug in complicated join with const tables. This fix also
improves performance a bit when referring to another table from a
const table.
First pre-version of multi-table UPDATE statement.
Fixed bug in multi-table DELETE.
Fixed bug in SELECT CONCAT(argument_list) ... GROUP BY 1.
INSERT ... SELECT did a full rollback in case of an error. Fixed
so that we only roll back the last statement in the current transaction.
Fixed bug with empty expression for boolean full-text search.
Fixed core dump bug in updating full-text key from/to NULL.
ODBC compatibility: Added BIT_LENGTH() function.
Fixed core dump bug in GROUP BY BINARY column.
Added support for NULL keys in HEAP tables.
Use index for ORDER BY in queries of type:
SELECT * FROM t WHERE key_part1=1 ORDER BY key_part1 DESC,key_part2 DESC
Fixed bug in FLUSH QUERY CACHE.
Added CAST() and CONVERT() functions. The CAST and
CONVERT functions are nearly identical and mainly useful when you
want to create a column with a specific type in a CREATE ... SELECT
statement. For more information, read Secção 6.3.5, “Funções de Conversão”.
CREATE ... SELECT on DATE and TIME functions now
create columns of the expected type.
Changed order in which keys are created in tables.
Added new columns Null and Index_type to SHOW INDEX
output.
Added --no-beep and --prompt options to mysql command-line client.
New feature: management of user resources.
GRANT ... WITH MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR N1
MAX_UPDATES_PER_HOUR N2
MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_HOUR N3;
Added mysql_secure_installation to the scripts/ directory.
