Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Community Server 5.0.85, a new version of the popular Open Source
Database Management System, has been released. This and future releases
in the MySQL Community Server 5.0 series share version numbers with
their MySQL Enterprise Server counterparts.

The release is now available in source and binary form for a number of
platforms from our download pages at

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

and mirror sites.  Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at
this point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror,
please try again later or choose another download site.

We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes,
patches etc.

Due to problems making packages for Linux IA64 compiled with icc sufficiently
generic, we have decided to not continue providing the "IA64, glibc-2.3, dynamic,
icc" tarballs. Note that Red Hat and SuSE specific RPMs for IA64 compiled with
icc are still available.

This section documents all changes and bugfixes that have been
applied since the last MySQL Community Server release (5.0.84).

Bugs fixed:

 *  The server printed warnings at startup about adjusting the
    value of the max_join_size system variable. (These were
    harmless, but might be seen by users as significant.)
    (Bug#46385: http://bugs.mysql.com/46385)

  * The server crashed if evaluation of GROUP_CONCAT(... ORDER BY)
    required allocation of a sort buffer but allocation failed.
    (Bug#46080: http://bugs.mysql.com/46080)

  * After an error such as a table-full condition, INSERT IGNORE
    could cause an assertion failure for debug builds.
    (Bug#46075: http://bugs.mysql.com/46075)

  * An optimization that moved an item from a subquery to an outer
    query could cause a server crash.
    (Bug#46051: http://bugs.mysql.com/46051)

  * Several Valgrind warnings were corrected.
    (Bug#46003: http://bugs.mysql.com/46003,
    Bug#46034: http://bugs.mysql.com/46034,
    Bug#46042: http://bugs.mysql.com/46042)

  * For problems reading SSL files during SSL initialization, the
    server wrote error messages to stderr rather than to the error
    log. (Bug#45770: http://bugs.mysql.com/45770)

  * The vendor name change from MySQL AB to Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    in RPM packages was not handled gracefully when upgrading
    MySQL using an RPM package.
    (Bug#45534: http://bugs.mysql.com/45534)

  * Compiler warnings on Windows were fixed.
    (Bug#45287: http://bugs.mysql.com/45287)

  * Invalid memory reads could occur using the compressed
    client/server protocol.
    (Bug#45031: http://bugs.mysql.com/45031)

  * Invalid input could cause invalid memory reads by the parser.
    (Bug#45010: http://bugs.mysql.com/45010)

  * The server did not always check the return value of calls to
    the hash_init() function.
    (Bug#43572: http://bugs.mysql.com/43572)

  * A test for stack growth failed on some platforms, leading to
    server crashes. (Bug#42213: http://bugs.mysql.com/42213)

  * SHOW PROCESSLIST could access freed memory of a stored
    procedure run in a concurrent session.
    (Bug#38816: http://bugs.mysql.com/38816)

  * make_binary_distribution did not always generate correct
    distribution names. (Bug#37808: http://bugs.mysql.com/37808)

  * The server crashed when executing a prepared statement
    containing a duplicated MATCH() function call in the select
    list and ORDER BY clause; for example, SELECT MATCH(a)
    AGAINST('test') FROM t1 ORDER BY MATCH(a) AGAINST('test').
    (Bug#37740: http://bugs.mysql.com/37740)

  * If InnoDB reached its limit on the number of concurrent
    transactions (1023), it wrote a descriptive message to the
    error log but returned a misleading error message to the
    client, or an assertion failure occurred.
    (Bug#18828: http://bugs.mysql.com/18828)
