The following symbols are now reserved words:
            TIME, DATE,
            TIMESTAMP, TEXT,
            BIT, ENUM,
            NO, ACTION,
            CHECK, YEAR,
            MONTH, DAY,
            HOUR, MINUTE,
            SECOND, STATUS,
            VARIABLES.
          
            Setting a TIMESTAMP to
            NULL in LOAD DATA INFILE
            ... didn't set the current time for the
            TIMESTAMP.
          
            Fix BETWEEN to recognise binary strings.
            Now BETWEEN is case-sensitive.
          
            Added --skip-thread-priority option to
            mysqld, for systems where
            mysqld's thread scheduling doesn't work
            properly (BSDI 3.1).
          
            Added ODBC functions DAYNAME() and
            MONTHNAME().
          
            Added function TIME_FORMAT(). This works
            like DATE_FORMAT(), but takes a time
            string ('HH:MM:SS') as argument.
          
            Fixed unlikely(?) key optimiser bug when using
            OR operators of key parts inside
            AND expressions.
          
            Added variables command to
            mysqladmin.
          
A lot of small changes to the binary releases.
Fixed a bug in the new protocol from MySQL Version 3.21.20.
            Changed ALTER TABLE to work with Windows
            (Windows can't rename open files). Also fixed a couple of
            small bugs in the Windows version.
          
All standard MySQL clients are now ported to MySQL for Windows.
MySQL can now be started as a service on NT.
