"EE_ error codes (EE_DELETE, EE_WRITE) end up in the binlog, making slave stop".
The problem was that during execution of the command on the master, an error
can occur (for example, not space left on device, then mysqld waits and when
there is space it completes successfully: so finally it worked but the error
EE_WRITE remains in thd->net.last_errno and thd->net.last_error).
To know if finally the command succeeded, we test the 'error' variable in
every place, and if it shows no failure we reset thd->net.last_err* using
the function THD::clear_error() which is backported from 4.1.
A new test to see if now only real errors get to the binlog (note: the test
uses "rm").
Also a bit of memory free/alloc saving in log_event.cc (do not free the whole
mem_root after every query in the slave SQL thread: we can keep the initial
block of it; which will be freed when the thread terminates).
mysql_server_init() now returns error code if something went wrong (Bug #2062)
Don't use my_fopen() when reading symlink information as this may cause problems when a lot of files are opened.
Free thread keys with pthread_key_delete() instead of relying on automatic free. (Bug #2062)
Fixed bug in UNION statement with alias '*'. (Bug #1249)
Fixed a bug in DELETE ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT where the rows where not deleted in the proper order. (Bug #1024).
FOUND_ROWS() could return incorrect number of rows after a query with an impossible WHERE condition.
HOW DATABASES doesn't anymore show .sym files (on windows) that doesn't point to a valid directory. (Bug #1385)
New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
query_alloc_block_size, query_prealloc_size, range_alloc_block_size,transaction_alloc_block_size and transaction_prealloc_size
Add more checks for "out of memory" detection in range optimization
