If one gives -p or
            --password option to
            mysql without an argument, the user is
            solicited for the password from the tty.
          
            Added default password from MYSQL_PWD (by
            Elmar Haneke).
          
            Added command kill to
            mysqladmin to kill a specific MySQL
            thread.
          
Sometimes when doing a reconnect on a down connection this succeeded first on second try.
            Fixed adding an AUTO_INCREMENT key with
            ALTER_TABLE.
          
            AVG() gave too small value on some
            SELECT statements with GROUP
            BY and ORDER BY.
          
            Added new DATETIME type (by Giovanni
            Maruzzelli <maruzz@matrice.it>).
          
            Fixed that defining
            DONT_USE_DEFAULT_FIELDS works.
          
Changed to use a thread to handle alarms instead of signals on Solaris to avoid race conditions.
            Fixed default length of signed numbers. (George Harvey
            <georgeh@pinacl.co.uk>.)
          
            Allow anything for CREATE INDEX.
          
            Add prezeros when packing numbers to
            DATE, TIME and
            TIMESTAMP.
          
            Fixed a bug in OR of multiple tables
            (gave empty set).
          
Added many patches to MIT-pthreads. This fixes at least one lookup bug.
