以下チェンジログ
-----------

■Functionality added or changed:

- The --with-openssl option for configure now accepts a path prefix as an argument. --with-openssl-includes and --with-openssl-libs are still supported, but are needed only to override the default values. (Bug #5494)

- Added new --without-man option to configure to suppress building/installing the manual pages. (Bug #5379)

- InnoDB: New mysqld option --innodb-table-locks and session variable innodb_table_locks (on by default). You can now disable InnoDB table locks if your application depends on the way MySQL did table locks before 4.0.20. See section 16.17 Restrictions on InnoDB Tables. (Bug #3299, Bug #5998)


■Bugs fixed:

- Fixed bug in server which caused connection stall when one of deprecated libmysqlclient functions mysql_create_db(), mysql_rm_db() were called and were going to return error. (Bug #6081)

- Fixed returning wrong query result from query cache if a temporary table was hiding a real table after putting results to query cache. (Bug #6084)

- Fixed ENABLE KEYS, which failed if tmpdir ran out of space. Now, a full repair is done in this case. (Bug #5625)

- Fixed an improper error message when trying to drop a table which is referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. (Bug #5784)

- Fixed a bug that allowed FLUSH TABLE(S) to close HANDLER tables. HANDLER tables are now reopened after a FLUSH TABLE(S) the next time they are used. However, they lose their file position if this happens. (Bug #4286)

- Fixed a bug that allowed HANDLER tables with the same alias to be opened multiple times. HANDLER aliases must now be unique, even though it is syntactically correct in versions below 4.1, to qualify them with their base table's database name (e.g. test_db.handler_tbl, but this will now conflict with e.g. another_db.handler_tbl). (Bug #4335)

- Fixed crash when using MySQL 4.0 with privilege tables from MySQL 5.0.

- InnoDB: Make the check for excessive semaphore waits tolerate glitches in the system clock (do not crash the server if the system time is adjusted while InnoDB is under load.). (Bug #5898)

- mysqlimport now reads input files locally from the client host only if the --local option is given. Previously, it assumed incorrectly in some cases that files were local even without --local. (Bug #5829)

- InnoDB: Fixed a bug in the InnoDB FOREIGN KEY parser that prevented ALTER TABLE of tables containing `#' in their names. (Bug #5856)

- InnoDB: Fixed problem introduced in 4.0.21 where a connection starting a transaction, doing updates, then FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK, then COMMIT, would cause replication slaves to stop complaining about error 1223. Bug surfaced when using the InnoDB innobackup script. (Bug #5949)

- InnoDB: If one updated a column so that its size changed, or updated it to an externally stored (TEXT or BLOB) value, then ANOTHER externally stored column would show up as 512 bytes of good data + 20 bytes of garbage in a consistent read that fetched the old version of the row. (Bug #5960)

- InnoDB: Release the dictionary latch during a long cascaded FOREIGN KEY operation, so that we do not starve other users doing CREATE TABLE or other DDL operations. This caused a notorious 'Long semaphore wait' message to be printed to the `.err' log. (Bug #5961)

- Fixed a bug which resulted in an erroneously calculated number of examined rows in UNIONs. This value is printed in the slow query log. (Bug #5879)

- Fixed bug with crash of server on some values of read_rnd_buffer_size (Bug #5492)

- Fixed bug which caused truncation of values read from or into TIMESTAMP fields if --new mode was enabled. (Bug #4131)

- mysqladmin now returns a status of 0 even when the server denies access; such an error means the server is running. (Bug #3120)

- InnoDB: Fixed a bug introduced in 4.0.21. An assertion failed if one used mysqldump with the option -l or --opt, or if one used LOCK TABLES ... LOCAL. (Workaround in 4.0.21: use --quick and --single-transaction. (Bug #5538)

- Fixed that if the slave SQL thread found a syntax error in a query (which should be rare, as the master parsed it successfully), it stops. (Bug #5711)

- Fixed that if a write to a MyISAM table fails because of a full disk or an exceeded disk quota, it prints a message to the error log every 10 minutes, and waits until disk becomes free. (Bug #3248)

- Fixed problem with symlinked databases on Windows being shown with SHOW DATABASES even if the database name doesn't match the given wildcard (Bug #5539)



■Additional Notes:

- Due to a temporary hardware failure the binaries for HP-UX 11.11 are missing from the initial release. They will be provided as soon as this HP-UX build system is online again.
