Hi,
MySQL 4.0.26, a new version of the popular Open Source/Free Software
Database Management System, has been released. It 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 -
if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or
choose another download site.
This is a bugfix release for the recent production version.
Please refer to our bug database at
http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more
details about the individual bugs fixed in this version.
News from the ChangeLog:
Functionality added or changed:
* Added the mysql_get_client_version C API function to the embedded
server library. (It was present in the regular client library but
inadvertently omitted from the embedded library.)
(Bug #10266 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10266))
Bugs fixed:
* An optimizer estimate of zero rows for a non-empty InnoDB table used
in a left or right join could cause incomplete rollback for the table.
(Bug #12779 (http://bugs.mysql.com/12779))
* Query cache is switched off if a thread (connection) has tables
locked. This prevents invalid results where the locking thread inserts
values between a second thread connecting and selecting from the
table. (Bug #12385 (http://bugs.mysql.com/12385))
* For PKG installs on Mac OS X, the preinstallation and postinstallation
scripts were being run only for new installations and not for upgrade
installations, resulting in an incomplete installation process.
(Bug #11380 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11380))
* On Windows, applications that used the embedded server made it not
possible to remove certain files in the data directory, even after the
embedded server had been shut down. This occurred because a file
descriptor was being held open.
(Bug #12177 (http://bugs.mysql.com/12177))
* Creation of the mysql group account failed during the RPM
installation. (Bug #12348 (http://bugs.mysql.com/12348))
* Attempting to repair a table having a fulltext index on a column
containing words whose length exceeded 21 characters and where
myisam_repair_threads was greater than 1 would crash the server. (Bug
#11684 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11684))
* When two threads compete for the same table, a deadlock could occur if
one thread has also a lock on another table through LOCK TABLES and
the thread is attempting to remove the table in some manner and the
other thread want locks on both tables.
(Bug #10600 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10600))
Bye,
Joerg
