Fixed bug in MyISAM involving
            REPLACE ... SELECT ... which could give a
            corrupted table.
          
            Fixed bug in myisamchk where it
            incorrectly reset the AUTO_INCREMENT
            value.
          
LOTS of patches for Linux Alpha. MySQL now appears to be relatively stable on Alpha.
            Changed DISTINCT on
            HEAP temporary tables to use hashed keys
            to quickly find duplicated rows. This mostly concerns
            queries of type SELECT DISTINCT ... GROUP BY
            .... This fixes a problem where not all duplicates
            were removed in queries of the above type. In addition, the
            new code is MUCH faster.
          
Added patches to make MySQL compile on Mac OS X.
            Added IF NOT EXISTS clause to
            CREATE DATABASE.
          
            Added --all-databases and
            --databases options to
            mysqldump to allow dumping of many
            databases at the same time.
          
            Fixed bug in compressed DECIMAL() index
            in MyISAM tables.
          
Fixed bug when storing 0 into a timestamp.
            When doing mysqladmin shutdown on a local
            connection, mysqladmin now waits until
            the PID file is gone before terminating.
          
            Fixed core dump with some COUNT(DISTINCT
            ...) queries.
          
            Fixed that myisamchk works properly with
            RAID tables.
          
            Fixed problem with LEFT JOIN and
            key_field IS NULL.
          
            Fixed bug in net_clear() which could give
            the error Aborted connection in the MySQL
            clients.
          
            Added options USE INDEX (key_list) and
            IGNORE INDEX (key_list) as parameters in
            SELECT.
          
            DELETE and RENAME
            should now work on RAID tables.
