This is a bugfix release for the current MySQL Community Server production release family. It replaces MySQL 5.0.41.
Functionality Added or Changed
Incompatible Change:
INSERT DELAYED is now downgraded
to a normal INSERT if the
statement uses functions that access tables or triggers, or that
is called from a function or a trigger.
This was done to resolve the following interrelated issues:
The server could abort or deadlock for
INSERT DELAYED statements for
which another insert was performed implicitly (for example,
using a stored function that inserted a row).
A trigger using an INSERT
DELAYED caused the error INSERT DELAYED
can't be used with table ... because it is locked with LOCK
TABLES although the target table was not
actually locked.
INSERT DELAYED into a table
with a BEFORE INSERT or AFTER
INSERT trigger gave an incorrect
NEW pseudocolumn value and caused the
server to deadlock or abort.
(Bug #21483)
References: See also Bug #20497, Bug #21714.
Incompatible Change:
Prior to this release, when DATE
values were compared with
DATETIME values, the time portion
of the DATETIME value was
ignored, or the comparison could be performed as a string
compare. Now a DATE value is
coerced to the DATETIME type by
adding the time portion as 00:00:00. To mimic
the old behavior, use the CAST()
function as shown in this example: SELECT
.
(Bug #28929)date_col = CAST(NOW() AS DATE) FROM
table;
MySQL Cluster: The server source tree now includes scripts to simplify building MySQL with SCI support. For more information about SCI interconnects and these build scripts, see Configuring MySQL Cluster to use SCI Sockets. (Bug #25470)
A new status variable, Com_call_procedure,
indicates the number of calls to stored procedures.
(Bug #27994)
Binaries for the Linux x86 statically linked
tar.gz Community package were linked
dynamically, not statically. Static linking has been re-enabled.
(Bug #29617)
INSERT DELAYED statements on
BLACKHOLE tables are now rejected, due to the
fact that the BLACKHOLE storage engine does
not support them.
(Bug #27998)
Potential memory leaks in SHOW
PROFILE were eliminated.
(Bug #24795)
Bugs Fixed
Security Fix: A malformed password packet in the connection protocol could cause the server to crash. Thanks for Dormando for reporting this bug, and for providing details and a proof of concept. (Bug #28984, CVE-2007-3780)
Security Fix:
CREATE TABLE
LIKE did not require any privileges on the source
table. Now it requires the SELECT
privilege.
In addition,
CREATE TABLE
LIKE was not isolated from alteration by other
connections, which resulted in various errors and incorrect
binary log order when trying to execute concurrently a
CREATE TABLE
LIKE statement and either DDL statements on the source
table or DML or DDL statements on the target table.
(Bug #23667, Bug #25578, CVE-2007-3781)
Security Fix:
The requirement of the DROP
privilege for RENAME TABLE was
not enforced.
(Bug #27515, CVE-2007-2691)
Security Fix:
If a stored routine was declared using SQL SECURITY
INVOKER, a user who invoked the routine could gain
privileges.
(Bug #27337, CVE-2007-2692)
Security Fix: Use of a view could enable a user to gain update privileges for tables in other databases. (Bug #27878, CVE-2007-3782)
Incompatible Change:
The use of an ORDER BY or
DISTINCT clause with a query containing a
call to the GROUP_CONCAT()
function caused results from previous queries to be redisplayed
in the current result. The fix for this includes replacing a
BLOB value used internally for
sorting with a VARCHAR. This
means that for long results (more than 65,535 bytes), it is
possible for truncation to occur; if so, an appropriate warning
is issued.
(Bug #23856, Bug #28273)
Incompatible Change:
The names of stored functions referenced by views were not
properly displayed by SHOW CREATE
VIEW.
The fix corrects a problem introduced by Bug #23491. There is an incompatibility when upgrading from versions affected by that bug fix (MySQL 5.0.40 through 5.0.43, MySQL 5.1.18 through 5.1.19): If you use mysqldump before upgrading from an affected version and reload the data after upgrading to a higher version, you must drop and recreate your views. (Bug #28605)
Incompatible Change:
When mysqldump was run with the
--delete-master-logs option,
binary log files were deleted before it was known that the dump
had succeeded, not after. (The method for removing log files
used RESET MASTER prior to the
dump. This also reset the binary log sequence numbering to
.000001.) Now mysqldump
flushes the logs (which creates a new binary log number with the
next sequence number), performs the dump, and then uses
PURGE BINARY LOGS to remove the
log files older than the new one. This also preserves log
numbering because the new log with the next number is generated
and only the preceding logs are removed. However, this may
affect applications if they rely on the log numbering sequence
being reset.
(Bug #24733)
MySQL Cluster: The cluster waited 30 seconds instead of 30 milliseconds before reading table statistics. (Bug #28093)
MySQL Cluster: The name of the month “March” was given incorrectly in the cluster error log. (Bug #27926)
MySQL Cluster: A corrupt schema file could cause a File already open error. (Bug #28770)
MySQL Cluster:
A delay in obtaining AUTO_INCREMENT IDs could
lead to excess temporary errors.
(Bug #28410)
MySQL Cluster:
A race condition could result when nonmaster nodes (in addition
to the master node) tried to update active status due to a local
checkpoint (that is, between NODE_FAILREP and
COPY_GCIREQ events). Now only the master
updates the active status.
(Bug #28717)
MySQL Cluster: A fast global checkpoint under high load with high usage of the redo buffer caused data nodes to fail. (Bug #28653)
MySQL Cluster:
ndb_connectstring did not appear in the
output of SHOW VARIABLES.
(Bug #26675)
MySQL Cluster:
When an API node sent more than 1024 signals in a single batch,
NDB would process only the first
1024 of these, and then hang.
(Bug #28443)
MySQL Cluster:
INSERT IGNORE
wrongly ignored NULL values in unique
indexes.
(Bug #27980)
MySQL Cluster:
It was not possible to add a unique index to an
NDB table while in single user
mode.
(Bug #27710)
MySQL Cluster:
UPDATE IGNORE statements involving the
primary keys of multiple tables could result in data corruption.
(Bug #28719)
MySQL Cluster: A failure to release internal resources following an error could lead to problems with single user mode. (Bug #25818)
MySQL Cluster:
Repeated insertion of data generated by
mysqldump into
NDB tables could eventually lead to
failure of the cluster.
(Bug #27437)
Replication: Recreating a view that already exists on the master would cause a replicating slave to terminate replication with a 'different error message on slave and master' error. (Bug #28244)
Replication:
The result of executing of a prepared statement created with
PREPARE s FROM "SELECT 1 LIMIT ?" was not
replicated correctly.
(Bug #28464)
Replication: When using transactions and replication, shutting down the master in the middle of a transaction would cause all slaves to stop replicating. (Bug #22725)
Replication:
Using CREATE TABLE
LIKE ... would raise an assertion when replicated to a
slave.
(Bug #18950)
Replication:
Connections from one mysqld server to another
failed on Mac OS X, affecting replication and
FEDERATED tables.
(Bug #26664)
References: See also Bug #29083.
Replication: Restoration of the default database after stored routine or trigger execution on a slave could cause replication to stop if the database no longer existed. (Bug #25082)
Replication: Binary logging of prepared statements could produce syntactically incorrect queries in the binary log, replacing some parameters with variable names rather than variable values. This could lead to incorrect results on replication slaves. (Bug #26842, Bug #12826)
Replication: Aborting a statement on the master that applied to a nontransactional statement broke replication. The statement was written to the binary log but not completely executed on the master. Slaves receiving the statement executed it completely, resulting in loss of data synchrony. Now an error code is written to the error log so that the slaves stop without executing the aborted statement. (That is, replication stops, but synchrony to the point of the stop is preserved and you can investigate the problem.) (Bug #26551)
Cluster API:
For BLOB reads on operations with
lock mode LM_CommittedRead, the lock mode was
not upgraded to LM_Read before the state of
the BLOB had already been
calculated. The NDB API methods
affected by this problem included the following:
NdbOperation::readTuple()
NdbScanOperation::readTuples()
NdbIndexScanOperation::readTuples()
(Bug #27320)
The query SELECT '2007-01-01' + INTERVAL
caused
mysqld to fail.
(Bug #28450)column_name DAY FROM
table_name
The error message for error number 137 did
not report which database/table combination reported the
problem.
(Bug #27173)
When ALTER TABLE was used to add
a new DATE column with no
explicit default value, '0000-00-00' was used
as the default even if the SQL mode included the
NO_ZERO_DATE mode to prohibit
that value. A similar problem occurred for
DATETIME columns.
(Bug #27507)
LOAD DATA did not use
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default value for a
TIMESTAMP column for which no
value was provided.
(Bug #27670)
The CRC32() function returns an
unsigned integer, but the metadata was signed, which could cause
certain queries to return incorrect results. (For example,
queries that selected a CRC32()
value and used that value in the GROUP BY
clause.)
(Bug #27530)
PURGE MASTER LOGS BEFORE
( caused a server
crash. Subqueries are forbidden in the subquery)BEFORE
clause now.
(Bug #28553)
On the IBM i5 platform, the installation script in the
.savf binaries unconditionally executed the
mysql_install_db script. This problem was
fixed in a repackaged distribution numbered 5.0.45b.
(Bug #30084)
Comparison of the string value of a date showed as unequal to
CURTIME(). Similar behavior was
exhibited for DATETIME values.
(Bug #28208)
A stored function invocation in the WHERE
clause was treated as a constant.
(Bug #27354)
The check-cpu script failed to detect AMD64 Turion processors correctly. (Bug #17707)
Long path names for internal temporary tables could cause stack overflows. (Bug #29015)
Portability problems caused by use of isinf()
were corrected.
(Bug #28240)
A query with a NOT IN subquery predicate
could cause a crash when the left operand of the predicate
evaluated to NULL.
(Bug #28375)
For storage engines that permit the current auto-increment value
to be set, using ALTER TABLE ... ENGINE to
convert a table from one such storage engine to another caused
loss of the current value. (For storage engines that do not
support setting the value, it cannot be retained anyway when
changing the storage engine.)
(Bug #25262)
Granting access privileges to an individual table where the database or table name contained an underscore would fail. (Bug #18660)
Some test suite files were missing from some MySQL-test packages. (Bug #26609)
The MERGE storage engine could return
incorrect results when several index values that compare
equality were present in an index (for example,
'gross' and 'gross ',
which are considered equal but have different lengths).
(Bug #24342)
Using BETWEEN with nonindexed date
columns and short formats of the date string could return
incorrect results.
(Bug #28778)
mysql_upgrade did not pass a password to mysqlcheck if one was given. (Bug #25452)
Views ignored precision for
CAST() operations.
(Bug #27921)
mysql_upgrade failed if certain SQL modes were set. Now it sets the mode itself to avoid this problem. (Bug #28401)
SHOW PROFILE hung if executed
before enabling the @@profiling session
variable.
(Bug #26938)
mysql_upgrade did not detect failure of external commands that it runs. (Bug #26639)
For InnoDB, in some rare cases the optimizer
preferred a more expensive
ref access to a less
expensive range access.
(Bug #28189)
mysqlbinlog produced different output with
the -R option than without it.
(Bug #27171)
Times displayed by SHOW PROFILE
were incorrectly associated with the profile entry one later
than the correct one.
(Bug #27060)
Nongrouped columns were permitted by * in
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY SQL mode.
(Bug #27874)
Killing from one connection a long-running EXPLAIN
QUERY started from another connection caused
mysqld to crash.
(Bug #28598)
For queries that used ORDER BY with
InnoDB tables, if the optimizer chose an
index for accessing the table but found a covering index that
enabled the ORDER BY to be skipped, no
results were returned.
(Bug #24778)
If a program binds a given number of parameters to a prepared
statement handle and then somehow changes
stmt->param_count to a different number,
mysql_stmt_execute() could crash
the client or server.
(Bug #28934)
Forcing the use of an index on a
SELECT query when the index had
been disabled would raise an error without running the query.
The query now executes, with a warning generated noting that the
use of a disabled index has been ignored.
(Bug #28476)
An error occurred trying to connect to mysqld-debug.exe. (Bug #27597)
The second execution of a prepared statement from a
UNION query with ORDER
BY RAND() caused the server to crash. This problem
could also occur when invoking a stored procedure containing
such a query.
(Bug #27937)
The result of evaluation for a view's CHECK
OPTION option over an updated record and records of
merged tables was arbitrary and dependent on the order of
records in the merged tables during the execution of the
SELECT statement.
(Bug #28716)
A multiple-table UPDATE could
return an incorrect rows-matched value if, during insertion of
rows into a temporary table, the table had to be converted from
a MEMORY table to a MyISAM
table.
(Bug #22364)
Conversion errors could occur when constructing the condition
for an IN predicate. The predicate was
treated as if the affected column contains
NULL, but if the IN
predicate is inside NOT, incorrect results
could be returned.
(Bug #22855)
Grouping queries with correlated subqueries in
WHERE conditions could produce incorrect
results.
(Bug #28337)
Early NULL-filtering optimization did not
work for eq_ref table access.
(Bug #27939)
A subquery with ORDER BY and LIMIT
1 could cause a server crash.
(Bug #28811)
A slave that used
--master-ssl-cipher
could not connect to the master.
(Bug #21611)
The fix for Bug #17212 provided correct sort order for misordered output of certain queries, but caused significant overall query performance degradation. (Results were correct (good), but returned much more slowly (bad).) The fix also affected performance of queries for which results were correct. The performance degradation has been addressed. (Bug #27531)
The XML output representing an empty result was an empty string
rather than an empty <resultset/>
element.
(Bug #27608)
When constructing the path to the original
.frm file, ALTER ..
RENAME was unnecessarily (and incorrectly) lowercasing
the entire path when not on a case-insensitive file system,
causing the statement to fail.
(Bug #28754)
For attempts to open a nonexistent table, the server should
report ER_NO_SUCH_TABLE but
sometimes reported
ER_TABLE_NOT_LOCKED.
(Bug #27907)
yaSSL crashed on pre-Pentium Intel CPUs. (Bug #21765)
Searches on indexed and nonindexed
ENUM columns could return
different results for empty strings.
(Bug #28729)
A query that grouped by the result of an expression returned a different result when the expression was assigned to a user variable. (Bug #28494)
For CAST() of a
NULL value with type
DECIMAL, the return value was
incorrectly initialized, producing a runtime error for binaries
built using Visual C++ 2005.
(Bug #28250)
Performing a UNION on two views
that had ORDER BY clauses resulted in an
Unknown column error.
(Bug #27786)
Linux binaries were unable to dump core after executing a
setuid() call.
(Bug #21723)
Using a VIEW created with a nonexisting
DEFINER could lead to incorrect results under
some circumstances.
(Bug #28895)
CREATE
TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT caused a server crash
if the target table already existed and had a BEFORE
INSERT trigger.
(Bug #20903)
mysqldump could not connect using SSL. (Bug #27669)
Quoted labels in stored routines were mishandled, rendering the routines unusable. (Bug #21513)
Failure to allocate memory associated with
transaction_prealloc_size could
cause a server crash.
(Bug #27322)
For InnoDB tables, a multiple-row
INSERT of the form
INSERT INTO t (id...) VALUES (NULL...) ON DUPLICATE KEY
UPDATE id=VALUES(id), where id is
an AUTO_INCREMENT column, could cause
ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry... errors
or lost rows.
(Bug #27650)
mysqldump calculated the required memory for a hex-blob string incorrectly causing a buffer overrun. This in turn caused mysqldump to crash silently and produce incomplete output. (Bug #28522)
For debug builds, ALTER TABLE
could trigger an assertion failure due to occurrence of a
deadlock when committing changes.
(Bug #28652)
Using CAST() to convert
DATETIME values to numeric values
did not work.
(Bug #23656)
A buffer overflow could occur when using
DECIMAL columns on Windows
operating systems.
(Bug #28361)
Some views could not be created even when the user had the requisite privileges. (Bug #24040)
Deadlock occurred for attempts to execute
CREATE
TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... SELECT when
LOCK TABLES had been used to
acquire a read lock on the target table.
(Bug #20662, Bug #15522)
The result set of a query that used WITH
ROLLUP and DISTINCT could lack some
rollup rows (rows with NULL values for
grouping attributes) if the GROUP BY list
contained constant expressions.
(Bug #24856)
Using SET
GLOBAL to change the
lc_time_names system variable
had no effect on new connections.
(Bug #22648)
mysqldump would not dump a view for which the
DEFINER no longer exists.
(Bug #26817)
On Windows, USE_TLS was not defined for
mysqlclient.lib.
(Bug #28860)
An update on a multiple-table view with the CHECK
OPTION clause and a subquery in the
WHERE condition could cause an assertion
failure.
(Bug #28561)
The Bytes_received and
Bytes_sent status variables
could hold only 32-bit values (not 64-bit values) on some
platforms.
(Bug #28149)
Flow control optimization in stored routines could cause exception handlers to never return or execute incorrect logic. (Bug #26977)
EXPLAIN for a query on an empty
table immediately after its creation could result in a server
crash.
(Bug #28272)
On some systems, udf_example.c returned an
incorrect result length. Also on some systems,
mysql-test-run.pl could not find the shared
object built from udf_example.c.
(Bug #27741)
Running CHECK TABLE concurrently
with a SELECT,
INSERT or other statement on
Windows could corrupt a MyISAM table.
(Bug #25712)
mysqldump crashed if it got no data from
SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE (for
example, when trying to dump a routine defined by a different
user and for which the current user had no privileges). Now it
prints a comment to indicate the problem. It also returns an
error, or continues if the --force option is
given.
(Bug #27293)
Selecting MIN() on an indexed
column that contained only NULL values caused
NULL to be returned for other result columns.
(Bug #27573)
Selecting GEOMETRY columns in a
UNION caused a server crash.
(Bug #28763)
Due to a race condition, executing
FLUSH
PRIVILEGES in one thread could cause brief table
unavailability in other threads.
(Bug #24988)
The “manager thread” of the LinuxThreads implementation was unintentionally started before mysqld had dropped privileges (to run as an unprivileged user). This caused signaling between threads in mysqld to fail when the privileges were finally dropped. (Bug #28690)
Implicit conversion of 9912101 to
DATE did not match
CAST(9912101 AS DATE).
(Bug #23093)
The -lmtmalloc library was removed from the
output of mysql_config on Solaris, as it
caused problems when building DBD::mysql (and
possibly other applications) on that platform that tried to use
dlopen() to access the client library.
(Bug #18322)
Debug builds on Windows generated false alarms about uninitialized variables with some Visual Studio runtime libraries. (Bug #27811)
Outer join queries with ON conditions over
constant outer tables did not return
NULL-complemented rows when conditions were
evaluated to FALSE.
(Bug #28571)
Index hints (USE INDEX, IGNORE
INDEX, FORCE INDEX) cannot be used
with FULLTEXT indexes, but were not being
ignored.
(Bug #25951)
Changes to some system variables should invalidate statements in the query cache, but invalidation did not happen. (Bug #27792)
Storing a large number into a
FLOAT or
DOUBLE column with a fixed length
could result in incorrect truncation of the number if the
column's length was greater than 31.
(Bug #28121)
Having the EXECUTE privilege for
a routine in a database should make it possible to
USE that database, but the server
returned an error instead. This has been corrected. As a result
of the change, SHOW TABLES for a
database in which you have only the
EXECUTE privilege returns an
empty set rather than an error.
(Bug #9504)
Stack overflow caused server crashes. (Bug #21476)
On Linux, the server could not create temporary tables if
lower_case_table_names was set
to 1 and the value of tmpdir
was a directory name containing any uppercase letters.
(Bug #27653)
CURDATE() is less than
NOW(), either when comparing
CURDATE() directly
(CURDATE() < NOW() is true) or when
casting CURDATE() to
DATE (CAST(CURDATE() AS
DATE) < NOW() is true). However, storing
CURDATE() in a
DATE column and comparing
incorrectly yielded false. This is fixed by
comparing a col_name <
NOW()DATE column as
DATETIME for comparisons to a
DATETIME constant.
(Bug #21103)
Some upgrade problems are detected and better error messages suggesting that mysql_upgrade be run are produced. (Bug #24248)
A large filesort could result in a division by zero error and a server crash. (Bug #27119)
Queries that used UUID() were
incorrectly permitted into the query cache. (This should not
happen because UUID() is
nondeterministic.)
(Bug #28897)
On Windows, mysql_upgrade was sensitive to lettercase of the names of some required components. (Bug #25405)
Comparing a DATETIME column value
with a user variable yielded incorrect results.
(Bug #28261)
Using an INTEGER column from a
table to ROUND() a number
produced different results than using a constant with the same
value as the INTEGER column.
(Bug #28980)
DECIMAL values beginning with
nine 9 digits could be incorrectly rounded.
(Bug #27984)
mysql_install_db is supposed to detect existing system tables and create only those that do not exist. Instead, it was exiting with an error if tables already existed. (Bug #27783)
Concurrent execution of
CREATE TABLE ...
SELECT and other statements involving the target table
suffered from various race conditions, some of which might have
led to deadlocks.
(Bug #24738)
Executing EXPLAIN EXTENDED on a
query using a derived table over a grouping subselect could lead
to a server crash. This occurred only when materialization of
the derived tables required creation of an auxiliary temporary
table, an example being when a grouping operation was carried
out with usage of a temporary table.
(Bug #28728)
SELECT COUNT(*) from a table containing a
DATETIME NOT NULL column could produce
spurious warnings with the
NO_ZERO_DATE SQL mode enabled.
(Bug #22824)
Subselects returning LONG values in MySQL
versions later than 5.0.24a returned LONGLONG
prior to this. The previous behavior was restored.
(Bug #28492)
References: This bug was introduced by Bug #19714.
An attempt to execute
CREATE TABLE ...
SELECT when a temporary table with the same name
already existed led to the insertion of data into the temporary
table and creation of an empty nontemporary table.
(Bug #24508)
Statements within triggers ignored the value of the
low_priority_updates system
variable.
(Bug #26162)
References: See also Bug #29963.
Attempting to LOAD_FILE from an empty floppy
drive under Windows, caused the server to hang. For example, if
you opened a connection to the server and then issued the
command SELECT LOAD_FILE('a:test');, with no
floppy in the drive, the server was inaccessible until the modal
pop-up dialog box was dismissed.
(Bug #28366)
If CREATE TABLE t1
LIKE t2 failed due to a full disk, an empty
t2.frm file could be created but not
removed. This file then caused subsequent attempts to create a
table named t2 to fail. This is easily
corrected at the file system level by removing the
t2.frm file manually, but now the server
removes the file if the create operation does not complete
successfully.
(Bug #25761)
HASH indexes on
VARCHAR columns with binary
collations did not ignore trailing spaces from strings before
comparisons. This could result in duplicate records being
successfully inserted into a MEMORY table
with unique key constraints. A consequence was that internal
MEMORY tables used for GROUP
BY calculation contained duplicate rows that resulted
in duplicate-key errors when converting those temporary tables
to MyISAM, and that error was incorrectly
reported as a table is full error.
(Bug #27643)
mysqltest used a too-large stack size on PowerPC/Debian Linux, causing thread-creation failure for tests that use many threads. (Bug #28333)
Passing a DECIMAL value as a
parameter of a statement prepared with
PREPARE resulted in an error.
(Bug #28509)
Creating a temporary table with InnoDB when
using the one-file-per-table setting, and when the host file
system for temporary tables was tmpfs, would
cause an assertion within mysqld. This was
due to the use of O_DIRECT when opening the
temporary table file.
(Bug #26662)
If a stored function or trigger was killed, it aborted but no error was thrown, permitting the calling statement to continue without noticing the problem. This could lead to incorrect results. (Bug #27563)
The server could hang for INSERT IGNORE ... ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE if an update failed.
(Bug #28000)
The omission of leading zeros in dates could lead to erroneous results when these were compared with the output of certain date and time functions. (Bug #16377)
Comparisons of DATE or
DATETIME values for the
IN() function could yield
incorrect results.
(Bug #28133)
When dumping procedures, mysqldump
--compact generated
output that restored the session variable
sql_mode without first
capturing it. When dumping routines, mysqldump
--compact neither
set nor retrieved the value of
sql_mode.
(Bug #28223)
A stored program that uses a variable name containing multi-byte characters could fail to execute. (Bug #27876)
Certain queries that used uncorrelated scalar subqueries caused
EXPLAIN to crash.
(Bug #27807)
For INSERT
... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statements that affected
many rows, updates could be applied to the wrong rows.
(Bug #27954)
INSERT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE could under
some circumstances silently update rows when it should not have.
(Bug #28904)
On some Linux distributions where LinuxThreads and NPTL
glibc versions both are available, statically
built binaries can crash because the linker defaults to
LinuxThreads when linking statically, but calls to external
libraries (such as libnss) are resolved to
NPTL versions. This cannot be worked around in the code, so
instead if a crash occurs on such a binary/OS combination, print
an error message that provides advice about how to fix the
problem.
(Bug #24611)
Changing a utf8 column in an
InnoDB table to a shorter length did not
shorten the data values.
(Bug #20095)
An interaction between SHOW TABLE
STATUS and other concurrent statements that modify the
table could result in a divide-by-zero error and a server crash.
(Bug #27516)
libmysql.dll could not be dynamically loaded
on Windows.
(Bug #28358)
For dates with 4-digit year parts less than 200, an incorrect
implicit conversion to add a century was applied for date
arithmetic performed with
DATE_ADD(),
