Fixed bugs:
BUG#15991: "innodb-file-per-table + symlink database + rename = crash"
BUG#15650: "DELETE with LEFT JOIN crashes server"
BUG#15308: "Problem of Order with Enum Column in Primary Key"
BUG#14189: "VARBINARY and BINARY variables: trailing space ignored"
data files. Previously, writes were flushed until the doublewrite
buffer was created. That would be too slow on systems where
os_file_flush() [or fsync(2)] is slow. (Bug #12125)
Gluh's SESSION/GLOBAL for @variables fix in sql_yacc.yy and
Bar's well_formed_len() changes in ndb code
did not make it and should be re-applied manually
between two server instances at server shutdown/startup.
This conflict on advisory locks appears to be the result of a bug
in the operating system; these locks should be released when the
files are closed, but somehow that does not always happen
immediately in Linux. (Bug #9381)
AIX 5.1 after security patch ML7 seems to contain a bug that instead of EEXIST it sets errno to 0 if a file creation fails because the file already exists. Work around that bug by interpreting errno 0 in AIX as EEXIST.
Fix Windows porting bugs that broke ibbackup: 1) wrong error check in for CreateDirectory(), 2) wrong error check if the file did not exist in DeleteFile(), 3) too strict sharing restrictions in os_file_create_simple(): when ibbackup called that function, it would not allow mysqld to write to the file
We accidentally checked if the DIRECTORY is of type OS_FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN; our intention was to check if the FILE is that; best to remove the check altogether, as in crash recovery it is safest to try to open also files whose type is unknown
os0file.c:
Fix a bug: in Windows, os_file_readdir_next_file() returned OS_FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN as the type of a regular file; this did not break mysqld, but did break ibbackup on Windows
at run-time, so that an executable compiled on Mac OS X 10.2 can
be run on Mac OS X 10.2 (without the work-around) and Mac OS X 10.3
and later with the work-aroud enabled.
Use the fcntl() file flush method on OS X; Apple disabled fsync() for internal disk drives, which caused corruption in power outages; the patch was recommended by an Apple engineer
