B.2.25. Changes in Release 4.0.7 (20 December 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).

Functionality added or changed:

  • mysqlbug now also reports the compiler version used for building the binaries (if the compiler supports the option --version).

Bugs fixed:

  • Fixed compilation problems on OpenUnix and HPUX 10.20.

  • Fixed some optimization problems when compiling MySQL with -DBIG_TABLES on a 32-bit system.

  • mysql_drop_db() didn't check permissions properly so anyone could drop another users database. DROP DATABASE is checked properly.
