Configure updates for Tru64, large file support, and better TCP wrapper support. By Albert Chin-A-Young.
            Fixed bug in <=> operator.
          
            Fixed bug in REPLACE with
            BDB tables.
          
            LPAD() and RPAD() will
            shorten the result string if it's longer than the length
            argument.
          
            Added SHOW LOGS command.
          
            Remove unused BDB logs on shutdown.
          
            When creating a table, put PRIMARY keys
            first, followed by UNIQUE keys.
          
            Fixed a bug in UPDATE involving
            multi-part keys where one specified all key parts both in
            the update and the WHERE part. In this
            case MySQL could try to update a record that didn't match
            the whole WHERE part.
          
            Changed drop table to first drop the tables and then the
            .frm file.
          
            Fixed a bug in the hostname cache which caused
            mysqld to report the hostname as
            '' in some error messages.
          
            Fixed a bug with HEAP type tables; the
            variable max_heap_table_size wasn't used.
            Now either MAX_ROWS or
            max_heap_table_size can be used to limit
            the size of a HEAP type table.
          
Changed the default server-id to 1 for masters and 2 for slaves to make it easier to use the binary log.
            Renamed bdb_lock_max variable to
            bdb_max_lock.
          
            Added support for AUTO_INCREMENT on
            sub-fields for BDB tables.
          
            Added ANALYZE of BDB
            tables.
          
            In BDB tables, we now store the number of
            rows; this helps to optimize queries when we need an
            approximation of the number of rows.
          
If we get an error in a multi-row statement, we now only roll back the last statement, not the entire transaction.
            If you do a ROLLBACK when you have
            updated a non-transactional table you will get an error as a
            warning.
          
            Added --bdb-shared-data option to
            mysqld.
          
            Added Slave_open_temp_tables status
            variable to mysqld
          
            Added binlog_cache_size and
            max_binlog_cache_size variables to
            mysqld.
          
            DROP TABLE, RENAME
            TABLE, CREATE INDEX and
            DROP INDEX are now transaction endpoints.
          
            If you do a DROP DATABASE on a
            symbolically linked database, both the link and the original
            database is deleted.
          
            Fixed DROP DATABASE to work on OS/2.
          
            Fixed bug when doing a SELECT DISTINCT ... table1
            LEFT JOIN table2 ... when
            table2 was empty.
          
            Added --abort-slave-event-count and
            --disconnect-slave-event-count options to
            mysqld for debugging and testing of
            replication.
          
Fixed replication of temporary tables. Handles everything except slave server restart.
            SHOW KEYS now shows whether key is
            FULLTEXT.
          
            New script mysqld_multi. See
            項4.8.3. 「mysqld_multi(複数の MySQL
        サーバを管理するプログラム)」.
          
            Added new script, mysql-multi.server.sh.
            Thanks to Tim Bunce <Tim.Bunce@ig.co.uk> for
            modifying mysql.server to easily handle
            hosts running many mysqld processes.
          
            safe_mysqld,
            mysql.server, and
            mysql_install_db have been modified to
            use mysql_print_defaults instead of
            various hacks to read the my.cnf files.
            In addition, the handling of various paths has been made
            more consistent with how mysqld handles
            them by default.
          
Automatically remove Berkeley DB transaction logs that no longer are in use.
            Fixed bug with several FULLTEXT indexes
            in one table.
          
            Added a warning if number of rows changes on
            REPAIR/OPTIMIZE.
          
            Applied patches for OS/2 by Yuri Dario.
          
            FLUSH TABLES tbl_name didn't always flush
            the index tree to disk properly.
          
            --bootstrap is now run in a separate
            thread. This fixes a problem that caused
            mysql_install_db to core dump on some
            Linux machines.
          
            Changed mi_create() to use less stack
            space.
          
            Fixed bug with optimizer trying to over-optimize
            MATCH() when used with
            UNIQUE key.
          
            Changed crash-me and the MySQL benchmarks
            to also work with FrontBase.
          
            Allow RESTRICT and
            CASCADE after DROP
            TABLE to make porting easier.
          
            Reset status variable which could cause problem if one used
            --slow-log.
          
            Added connect_timeout variable to
            mysql and mysqladmin.
          
            Added connect-timeout as an alias for
            timeout for option files read by
            mysql_options().
