* A more dynamic binlog format which allows small changes (1064)
* Log session variables in Query_log_event (1063)
It contains a few bugfixes (which I made when running the testsuite).
I carefully updated the results of the testsuite (i.e. I checked for every one,
if the difference between .reject and .result could be explained).
Apparently mysql-test-run --manager is broken in 4.1 and 5.0 currently,
so I could neither run the few tests which require --manager, nor check
that they pass nor modify their .result. But for builds, we don't run
with --manager.
Apart from --manager, the full testsuite passes, with Valgrind too (no errors).
I'm going to push in the next minutes. Remains: update the manual.
Note: by chance I saw that (in 4.1, in 5.0) rpl_get_lock fails when run alone;
this is normal at it makes assumptions on thread ids. I will fix this one day
in 4.1.
"Add a column "Timestamp_of_last_master_event_executed" in SHOW SLAVE STATUS".
Finally this is adding
- Slave_IO_State (a copy of the State column of SHOW PROCESSLIST for the I/O thread,
so that the users, most of the time, has enough info with only SHOW SLAVE STATUS).
- Seconds_behind_master. When the slave connects to the master it does SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP()
on the master, computes the absolute difference between the master's and the slave's clock.
It records the timestamp of the last event executed by the SQL thread, and does a
small computation to find the number of seconds by which the slave is late.
More DBUG info for replication
Better error messages from replication
Fixed bug in replication code when connecting to 'localhost' (time was not released properly)
Block ALARM signal on Linux for signal handler thread (Fixes problem with running mysqld with --debug)
Removed warning when setting an AUTO_INCREMENT field to NULL
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
