:: DEVELOPER ZONE
Functionality added or changed:
Port number was added to host name (if it is known) in SHOW PROCESSLIST
command
Changed handling of last argument in WEEK() so that one can get
week number according to the ISO 8601 specification.
(Old code should still work).
Fixed that INSERT DELAYED threads doesn't hang on Waiting for INSERT when one sends a SIGHUP to mysqld.
Change that AND works according to SQL-99 when it comes to
NULL handling. In practice, this only affects queries where you
do something like WHERE ... NOT (NULL AND 0).
mysqld will now resolve basedir to its full path (with
realpath()). This enables one to use relative symlinks to the
MySQL installation directory. This will however cause show variables to report different directories on systems where there is
a symbolic link in the path.
Fixed that MySQL will not use index scan on index disabled with
IGNORE INDEX or USE INDEX.
to be ignored.
Added --use-frm option to mysqlcheck. When used with
REPAIR, it gets the table structure from the .frm file, so the
table can be repaired even if the .MYI header is corrupted.
Fixed bug in MAX() optimization when used with JOIN and
ON expressions.
Added support for reading of MySQL 4.1 table definition files.
BETWEEN behaviour changed (see Secção 6.3.1.2, “Operadores de Comparação”).
Now datetime_col BETWEEN timestamp AND timestamp should work
as expected.
One can create TEMPORARY MERGE tables now.
DELETE FROM myisam_table now shrinks not only the .MYD file but
also the .MYI file.
When one uses the --open-files-limit=# option to mysqld_safe
it's now passed on to mysqld.
Changed output from EXPLAIN from 'where used' to
'Using where' to make it more in line with other output.
Removed variable safe_show_database as it was no longer used.
Updated source tree to be built using automake 1.5 and
libtool 1.4.
Fixed an inadvertently changed option (--ignore-space) back to the
original --ignore-spaces in mysqlclient. (Both syntaxes will
work).
Don't require UPDATE privilege when using REPLACE.
Added support for DROP TEMPORARY TABLE ..., to be used to make
replication safer.
When transactions are enabled, all commands that update temporary tables
inside a BEGIN/COMMIT are now stored in the binary log on
COMMIT and not stored if one does ROLLBACK. This fixes
some problems with non-transactional temporary tables used inside
transactions.
Allow braces in joins in all positions. Formerly, things like
SELECT * FROM (t2 LEFT JOIN t3 USING (a)), t1 worked, but
not SELECT * FROM t1, (t2 LEFT JOIN t3 USING (a)). Note that
braces are simply removed, they do not change the way the join is
executed.
InnoDB now supports also isolation levels
READ UNCOMMITTED and READ COMMITTED.
For a detailed InnoDB changelog, see Secção 7.5.16, “Histórico de Alterações do InnoDB”
in this manual.
Bugs fixed:
Fixed bug in MAX() optimization when used with JOIN and
ON expressions.
Fixed that INSERT DELAY threads don't hang on Waiting for INSERT when one sends a SIGHUP to mysqld.
Fixed that MySQL will not use an index scan on an index that has been
disabled with IGNORE INDEX or USE INDEX.
Corrected test for root user in mysqld_safe.
Fixed error message issued when storage engine cannot do CHECK
or REPAIR.
Fixed rare core dump problem in complicated GROUP BY queries that
didn't return any result.
Fixed mysqlshow to work properly with wildcarded database names and
with database names that contain underscores.
Portability fixes to get MySQL to compile cleanly with Sun Forte 5.0.
Fixed MyISAM crash when using dynamic-row tables with huge numbers of
packed fields.
Fixed query cache behaviour with BDB transactions.
Fixed possible floating point exception in MATCH
relevance calculations.
Fixed bug in full-text search IN BOOLEAN MODE that made MATCH
to return incorrect relevance value in some complex joins.
Fixed a bug that limited MyISAM key length to a value
slightly less that 500. It is exactly 500 now.
Fixed that GROUP BY on columns that may have a NULL value
doesn't always use disk based temporary tables.
The filename argument for the --des-key-file argument to mysqld
is interpreted relative to the data directory if given as a relative pathname.
Removed a condition that temp table with index on column that can be
NULL has to be MyISAM. This was okay for 3.23, but not
needed in 4.*. This resulted in slowdown in many queries since 4.0.2.
Small code improvement in multi-table updates.
Fixed a newly introduced bug that caused ORDER BY ... LIMIT row_count
to not return all rows.
Fixed a bug in multi-table deletes when outer join is used on an empty table, which gets first to be deleted.
Fixed a bug in multi-table updates when a single table is updated.
Fixed bug that caused REPAIR TABLE and myisamchk
to corrupt FULLTEXT indexes.
Fixed bug with caching the mysql grant table database. Now queries
in this database are not cached in the query cache.
Small fix in mysqld_safe for some shells.
Give error if a MyISAM MERGE table has more than 2 ^ 32 rows and
MySQL was not compiled with -DBIG_TABLES.
Fixed some ORDER BY ... DESC problems with InnoDB tables.
