B.2.4. Changes in release 4.0.28 (Not released)

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).

This is a bugfix release for the MySQL 4.0 release family.

Functionality added or changed:

  • The mysqldumpslow script has been moved from client RPM packages to server RPM packages. This corrects a problem where mysqldumpslow could not be used with a client-only RPM install, because it depends on my_print_defaults which is in the server RPM. (Bug#20216)

Bugs fixed:

  • Deleting entries from a large MyISAM index could cause index corruption when it needed to shrink. Deletes from an index can happen when a record is deleted, when a key changes and must be moved, and when a key must be un-inserted because of a duplicate key. This can also happen in REPAIR TABLE when a duplicate key is found and in myisamchk when sorting the records by an index. (Bug#22384)

  • Transient errors in replication from master to slave may trigger multiple Got fatal error 1236: 'binlog truncated in the middle of event' errors on the slave. (Bug#4053)

  • A server or network failure with an open client connection would cause the client to hang even though the server was no longer available. (Bug#9678)

  • mysqlhotcopy did not copy RAID directories with names that contained non-decimal hex digits. (It copied only directories containing the characters 0 through 9 and ignored those containing a through f.) (Bug#18777)

  • Using SELECT and a table join while running a concurrent INSERT operation would join incorrect rows. (Bug#14400)

  • A query with a WHERE clause containing column = ELT(int_value_1, value_list) OR column = ELT(int_value_2, value_list) could return unexpected results. (Bug#12728)
