Added support for lower_case_table_names=2, which is to be used on case insensitive file systems.
This tells MySQL to preserve the used case of filenames and database names to make it esier to move files between cases sensitive can case insensitive file systems (like Windows and Linux)
"SHOW TABLE STATUS very slow w/large number of tables"
Replaced old algorithm which were used in my_dir() and stored
all information about directory entries in one chunk of memory
with new one which stores file names and MY_STAT structures in
separate memroot, so now we don't need to copy this data during
reallocation of dir_entry array.
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)
Fixed bug in SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT
Fixed bug in ALTER TABLE and RENAME TABLE with --lower-case-table-names
Fixed hang when using --with-openssl
Made a some new buffers thread specific and changeable.
Resize of key_buffer.
AUTO_COMMIT -> AUTOCOMMIT
Fixed mutex bug in DROP DATABASE
Fixed bug when using auto_increment as second part of a key where first part could include NULL.
Split handler->extra() to extra() and extra_opt() to be able to support thread specific buffers.
Don't write message to error log when slave reconnects becasue of timeout.
Fixed possible update problem when using DELETE/UPDATE on small tables
(In some cases we used index even if table scanning would be better)
A lot of minior code cleanups
SHOW DATABASES
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE
LOCK TABLES
REPLICATION SLAVE & REPLICATION CLIENT
SUPER
EXECUTE
All scripts & documentation is updated for this change.
Added better error messages for global privileges
(All commit emails since 4.0.1 checked)
This had to be done now, before the 4.1 tree changes to much, to make it easy to propagate bug fixes to the 4.1 tree.
