Log message:
Pass PKGMANDIR to cmake
   2012-01-12 17:33:49 by Adam Ciarcinski | Files touched by this commit (3) | Package updated
Log message:
Changes 5.5.20:
* A new server option, --slow-start-timeout, controls the Windows service
  control manager's service start timeout. The value is the maximum number of
  milliseconds that the service control manager waits before trying to kill the
  MySQL service during startup. The default value is 15000 (15 seconds). If the
  MySQL service takes too long to start, you may need to increase this value.
  A value of 0 means there is no timeout.

Bugs Fixed:
* Important Change: Replication: Setting an empty user in a CHANGE MASTER TO
  statement caused an invalid internal result and is no longer permitted. Trying \ 
 to use MASTER_USER='' or setting MASTER_PASSWORD while leaving MASTER_USER
  unset causes the statement to fail with an error.
* Important Change: Replication: Moving the binary log file, relay log file, or
  both files to a new location, then restarting the server with a new value for
  --log-bin, --relay-log, or both, caused the server to abort on start. This
  was because the entries in the index file overrode the new location. In
  addition, paths were calculated relative to datadir (rather than to the
  --log-bin or --relay-log values).
* InnoDB Storage Engine: When doing a live downgrade from MySQL 5.6.4 or later,  \ 
 with innodb_page_size set to a value other than 16384, now the earlier MySQL
  version reports that the page size is incompatible with the older version,
  rather than crashing or displaying a “corruption” error.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: Issuing INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY statements for
  InnoDB tables from concurrent threads could cause a deadlock, particularly
  with the INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE form. The fix avoids deadlocks
  caused by the same row being accessed by more than one transaction. Deadlocks
  could still occur when multiple rows are inserted and updated simultaneously
  by different transactions in inconsistent order; those types of deadlocks
  require the standard error handling on the application side, of re-trying the
  transaction.
* An incorrect InnoDB assertion could cause the server to halt. This issue only
  affected debug builds. The assertion referenced the source file btr0pcur.ic
  and the variable cursor->pos_state.
* Locale information for FORMAT() function instances was lost in view
  definitions.
* The handle_segfault() signal-handler code in mysqld could itself crash due to
  calling unsafe functions.
* Enabling myisam_use_mmap could cause the server to crash.
* Concurrent access to ARCHIVE tables could cause corruption.

Log message:
Changes 5.5.19:
* Performance of metadata locking operations on Windows XP systems was improved
  by instituting a cache for metadata lock objects. This permits the server to
  avoid expensive operations for creation and destruction of synchronization
  objects on XP. A new system variable, metadata_locks_cache_size, permits
  control over the size of the cache. The default size is 1024.
* Replication: Previously, replication slaves could connect to the master
  server through master accounts that use nonnative authentication, except
  Windows native authentication. This is now also true for Windows native
  authentication.

Bugs Fixed:
* InnoDB Storage Engine: An internal deadlock could occur within InnoDB, on
  a server doing a substantial amount of change buffering for DML operations,
  particularly DELETE statements.
* Rounding DBL_MAX returned DBL_MAX, not 'inf'.
* mysql_upgrade did not upgrade the system tables or create the
  mysql_upgrade_info file when run with the --write-binlog or
  --skip-write-binlog option.
* If a plugin was uninstalled, thread local variables for plugin variables of
  string type with wth PLUGIN_VAR_MEMALLOC flag were not freed.
* Deadlock could occur when these four things happened at the same time: 1) An
  old dump thread was waiting for the binary log to grow. 2) The slave server
  that replicates from the old dump thread tried to reconnect. During
  reconnection, the new dump thread tried to kill the old dump thread.
  3) A KILL statement tried to kill the old dump thread. 4) An INSERT statement
  caused a binary log rotation.

Log message:
Changes 5.5.18:

Functionality Added or Changed
* Upgrading from an Advanced GPL RPM package to an Advanced RPM package did not
  work. Now on Linux it is possible to use rpm -U to replace any installed
  MySQL product by any other of the same release family. It is not necessary to
  remove the old produce with rpm -e first.

Bugs Fixed
* Incompatible Change: Replication.
* During the table-opening process, memory was allocated and later freed that
  was needed view loading, even for statements that did not use views. These
  unnecessary allocation and free operations are no longer done.
* mysql_plugin mishandled the --plugin-ini, --mysqld, and --my-print-defaults
  options under some circumstances.
* mysql_plugin returned the wrong error code from failed server bootstrap
  execution.
* Several improvements were made to the libedit library bundled with MySQL
  distributions, and that is available for all platforms that MySQL supports
  except Windows.
* ARCHIVE tables with NULL columns could cause server crashes or become corrupt
  under concurrent load.
* OPTIMIZE TABLE could corrupt MyISAM tables if myisam_use_mmap was enabled.
* A query that selected a GROUP_CONCAT() function result could return different
  values depending on whether an ORDER BY of the function result was present.
* For FEDERATED tables, loss of connection to the remote table during some
  insert operations could cause a server crash.

Log message:
Changes 5.5.17:
* Replication: Previously, replication slaves could connect to the master
  server only through master accounts that use native authentication. Now
  replication slaves can also connect through master accounts that use
  nonnative authentication (except Windows native authentication) if the
  required client-side plugin is installed on the slave side in the directory
  named by the slave plugin_dir system variable.
* MEMORY table creation time is now available in the CREATE_TIME column of the
  INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table and the Create_time column of SHOW TABLE
  STATUS output.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: This fix improves the performance of instrumentation
  code for InnoDB buffer pool operations.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: Data from BLOB columns could be lost if the server
  crashed at a precise moment when other columns were being updated in an
  InnoDB table.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: Lookups using secondary indexes could give incorrect
  matches under a specific set of conditions. The conditions involve an index
  defined on a column prefix, for a BLOB or other long column stored outside
  the index page, with a table using the Barracuda file format.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: This fix corrects cases where the MySQL server could
  hang or abort with a long semaphore wait message. (This is a different issue
  than when these symptoms occurred during a CHECK TABLE statement.)
* Internal conversion of zero to binary and back could yield a result with
  incorrect precision.
* Valgrind warnings generated by filesort operations were fixed.
* mysqld_safe did not properly check for an already running instance of mysqld.
* The help message for mysql_install_db did not indicate that it supports the
  --defaults-file, --defaults-extra-file and --no-defaults options.
* An assertion designed to detect zero-length sort keys also was raised when
  the entire key set fit in memory.
* myisampack could create corrupt FULLTEXT indexes when compressing tables.
* A linking problem prevented the FEDERATED storage engine plugin from loading.

Log message:
Changes 5.5.16:
* The default thread-handling model in MySQL Server executes statements using
  one thread per client connection.
* Commercial distributions of MySQL now include two plugins that enable MySQL
  Server to use external authentication methods to authenticate MySQL users
* Important Change: Replication: The RESET SLAVE statement has been extended
  with an ALL keyword.
* A new utility, mysql_plugin, enables MySQL administrators to manage which
  plugins a MySQL server loads.
* Bugs fixed.

Log message:
Fix for Mac OS X 10.7
   2011-07-28 10:10:29 by Adam Ciarcinski | Files touched by this commit (3) | Package updated
Log message:
Changes 5.5.15:
* The undocumented --all option for perror is deprecated and will be removed in
  MySQL 5.6.
Bugs Fixed:
* InnoDB Storage Engine: A failed CREATE INDEX operation for an InnoDB table
  could result in some memory being allocated and not freed. This memory leak
  could affect tables created with the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC and
  ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED settings.
* Partitioning: Auto-increment columns of partitioned tables were checked even
  when they were not being written to. In debug builds, this could lead to a
  crash of the server.
* Partitioning: The UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function was not treated as a monotonic
  function for purposes of partition pruning.
* Replication: If a LOAD DATA INFILE statement—replicated using statement-based
  replication—featured a SET clause, the name-value pairs were regenerated
  using a method (Item::print()) intended primarily for generating output for
  statements such as EXPLAIN EXTENDED, and which cannot be relied on to return
  valid SQL. This could in certain cases lead to a crash on the slave.
* To fix this problem, we now name each value in its original, user-supplied
  form, and use that to create LOAD DATA INFILE statements for statement-based
  replication.
* Previously, an inappropriate error message was produced if a multiple-table
  update for an InnoDB table with a clustered primary key would update a table
  through multiple aliases, and perform an update that may physically move the
  row in at least one of these aliases. Now the error message is: Primary
  key/partition key update is not allowed since the table is updated both as
  'tbl_name1' and 'tbl_name2'
* ALTER TABLE {MODIFY|CHANGE} ... FIRST did nothing except rename columns if
  the old and new versions of the table had exactly the same structure with
  respect to column data types. As a result, the mapping of column name to
  column data was incorrect. The same thing happened for ALTER TABLE DROP
  COLUMN, ADD COLUMN statements intended to produce a new version of table with
  exactly the same structure as the old version.
* Incorrect handling of metadata locking for FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK for
  statements requiring prelocking caused two problems:
* Execution of any data-changing statement that required prelocking (that is,
  involved a stored function or trigger) as part of transaction slowed down
  somewhat all subsequent statements in the transaction. Performance in a
  transaction that periodically involved such statements gradually degraded
  over time.

Log message:
Changes 5.5.14:
* CMake configuration support on Linux now provides a boolean ENABLE_GCOV
  option to control whether to include support for gcov.
* InnoDB now permits concurrent reads while creating a secondary index.
* Client programs now display more information for SSL errors to aid in
  diagnosis and debugging of connection problems.
* In the audit plugin interface, the event_class member was removed from the
  mysql_event_general structure and the calling sequence for the notification
  function changed. Originally, the second argument was a pointer to the event
  structure. The function now receives this information as two arguments: an
  event class number and a pointer to the event. Corresponding to these
  changes, MYSQL_AUDIT_INTERFACE_VERSION was increased to 0x0300.
* The plugin_audit.h header file, and the NULL_AUDIT example plugin in the
  plugin/audit_null directory have been modified per these changes. See
  Section 21.2.4.7, “Writing Audit Plugins”.
* Bug fixes.

Log message:
Changes 5.5.13:
* InnoDB Storage Engine: If the server crashed while an XA transaction was
  prepared but not yet committed, the transaction could remain in the system
  after restart, and cause a subsequent shutdown to hang.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: Similar problem to the foreign key error in bug
  11831040 / 60196 / 60909, but with a different root cause and occurring on
  Mac OS X. With the setting lower_case_table_names=2, inserts into InnoDB
  tables covered by foreign key constraints could fail after a server restart.
* Partitioning: The internal get_partition_set() function did not take into
  account the possibility that a key specification could be NULL in some cases.
* Partitioning: When executing a row-ordered retrieval index merge, the
  partitioning handler used memory from from that allocated for the table,
  rather than that allocated to the query, causing table object memory not to
  be freed until the table was closed.
* Replication: A spurious error malformed binlog: it does not contain any
  Format_description_log_event... was generated when mysqlbinlog was invoked
  using --base64-output=decode-row and --start-position=pos, where pos is a
  point in the binary log past the format description log event. However, there
  is nothing unsafe about not printing the format description log event, so the
  error has been removed for this case.
* Replication: Typographical errors appeared in the text of several replication  \ 
error messages. (The word “position” was misspelled as \ 
“postion”.)
* Assignments to NEW.var_name within triggers, where var_name had a BLOB or
  TEXT type, were not properly handled and produced incorrect results.
* XA COMMIT could fail to clean up the error state if it discovered that the
  current XA transaction had to be rolled back. Consequently, the next XA
  transaction could raise an assertion when it checked for proper cleanup of
  the previous transaction.
* An internal client macro reference was removed from the client_plugin.h
  header file. This reference made the file unusable.
* The server consumed memory for repeated invocation of some stored procedures,
  which was not released until the connection terminated.
* The server did not check for certain invalid out of order sequences of XA
  statements, and these sequences raised an assertion.
* With the conversion from GNU autotools to CMake for configuring MySQL, the
  USE_SYMDIR preprocessor symbol was omitted. This caused failure of symbolic
  links (described at Section 7.11.3.1, “Using Symbolic Links”).
