The following is an excerption from the WL.
1. Change so that MIXED is default format
1.1 to change the default for command line --binlog-format
1.2 to alter global_system_variables.binlog_format calculation
basing on command line --binlog-format parameter and
its default.
2. Change test suite so that more testing is done by MIXED format.
2.1 to check if there are test cases requiring --binlog-foramt=statement via
`source include/have_binlog_format_statement.inc' and affected by
altering the latter to be "mixed".
2.2 to check the content of such vulnerable cases to find if
extending to the mixed does not modify results. In that case simply
substitute source arguments as explained.
2.3 if a test in mixed mode deals with features triggering
row-binlogging then if necessary we can switch explicitly
to statement mode or create another test to run with
non-recommended STATEMENT mode
Particullarily, extracting INSERT DELAYED
binlogging subtest for statement mode is performed, and
the snippet is moved into a separate test file.
Note that since now all three modes verify this use case
through 3 different tests.
No changes in item 3 of HLD appeared to be needed.
Fixed bugs in my last changeset that made MySQL hard to compile.
Added mutex around some data that could cause table cache corruptions when using OPTIMIZE TABLE / REPAIR TABLE or automatic repair of MyISAM tables.
Added mutex around some data in the slave start/stop code that could cause THD linked list corruptions
Extended my_chsize() to allow one to specify a filler character.
Extend vio_blocking to return the old state (This made some usage of this function much simpler)
Added testing for some functions that they caller have got the required mutexes before calling the function.
Use setrlimit() to ensure that we can write core file if one specifies --core-file.
Added --slave-compressed-protocol
Made 2 the minimum length for ft_min_word_len
Added variables foreign_key_checks & unique_checks.
Less logging from replication code (if not started with --log-warnings)
Changed that SHOW INNODB STATUS requre the SUPER privilege
More DBUG statements and a lot of new code comments
Removed usage of @r/result as this made life hard when testing different
table handlers.
Allow concurrent inserts if no update/binary log.
Don't remove key_cache at flush tables.
Fixed bug in SELECT DISTINCT SUM()...
fixed sync bugs in three test cases
added offset argument to sync_with_master to mysqltest to be able to fix sync bugs
added a test case for slave startup with existing master.info
expanded mysql-test-run.sh to be able to run pre-start shell script initializations
