B.3.7. Changes in release 3.23.53 (09 October 2002)

End of Product Lifecycle. Active development and support for MySQL database server versions 3.23, 4.0, and 4.1 has ended. However, for MySQL 4.0 and 4.1, there is still extended support available. For details, see http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/lifecycle/#calendar. According to the MySQL Lifecycle Policy (see http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/lifecycle/#policy), only Security and Severity Level 1 issues will still be fixed for MySQL 4.0 and 4.1. Please consider upgrading to a recent version (MySQL 5.0 or 5.1).

  • Fixed crash when SHOW INNODB STATUS was used and skip-innodb was defined.

  • Fixed possible memory corruption bug in binary log file handling when slave rotated the logs (only affected 3.23, not 4.0).

  • Fixed problem in LOCK TABLES on Windows when one connects to a database that contains uppercase letters.

  • Fixed that --skip-show-database doesn't reset the --port option.

  • Small fix in safe_mysqld for some shells.

  • Fixed that FLUSH STATUS doesn't reset delayed_insert_threads.

  • Fixed core dump bug when using the BINARY cast on a NULL value.

  • Fixed race condition when someone did a GRANT at the same time a new user logged in or did a USE database.

  • Fixed bug in ALTER TABLE and RENAME TABLE when running with -O lower_case_table_names=1 (typically on Windows) when giving the table name in uppercase.

  • Fixed that -O lower_case_table_names=1 also converts database names to lowercase.

  • Fixed unlikely core dump with SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT.

  • Changed AND/OR to report that they can return NULL. This fixes a bug in GROUP BY on AND/OR expressions that return NULL.

  • Fixed a bug that OPTIMIZE TABLE of locked and modified MyISAM table, reported table corruption.

  • Fixed a BDB-related ALTER TABLE bug with dropping a column and shutting down immediately thereafter.

  • Fixed problem with configure ... --localstatedir=....

  • Fixed problem with UNSIGNED BIGINT on AIX (again).

  • Fixed bug in pthread_mutex_trylock() on HPUX 11.0.

  • Multi-threaded stress tests for InnoDB.
