Added basic per-thread time zone functionality (based on public
domain elsie-code). Now user can select current time zone
(from the list of time zones described in system tables).
All NOW-like functions honor this time zone, values of TIMESTAMP
type are interpreted as values in this time zone, so now
our TIMESTAMP type behaves similar to Oracle's TIMESTAMP WITH
LOCAL TIME ZONE (or proper PostgresSQL type).
WL#1266 "CONVERT_TZ() - basic time with time zone conversion
function".
Fixed problems described in Bug #2336 (Different number of warnings
when inserting bad datetime as string or as number). This required
reworking of datetime realted warning hadling (they now generated
at Field object level not in conversion functions).
Optimization: Now Field class descendants use table->in_use member
instead of current_thd macro.
distribution (this is more in line with how "make install" would install
them) - this should also fix a test failure in the "system_mysql_db_fix"
test.
startup item: MySQL (the startup script), StartupItem.Description.plist,
StartupItem.Info.plist (PKGMaker control files), StartupItem.postinstall
(post-installation script for the Startup Item package)
- modified support-files/MacOSX/Makefile.am to include the newly added files
in the source distribution
For now following tasks have been done:
- PASSWORD() function was rewritten. PASSWORD() now returns SHA1
hash_stage2; for new passwords user.password contains '*'hash_stage2; sql_yacc.yy also fixed;
- password.c: new functions were implemented, old rolled back to 4.0 state
- server code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm (check_user(), change
user, and other stuff in sql/sql_parse.cc)
- client code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm
(mysql_real_connect, myslq_authenticate in sql-common/client.c)
- now server barks on 45-byte-length 4.1.0 passwords and refuses 4.1.0-style
authentification. Users with 4.1.0 passwords are blocked (sql/sql_acl.cc)
- mysqladmin.c was fixed to work correctly with new passwords
Tests for 4.0-4.1.1, 4.1.1-4.1.1 (with or without db/password) logons was performed;
mysqladmin also was tested. Additional check are nevertheless necessary.
client capabilities included into libmysqld
some API methods became "virtual"
lots of duplicated code removed
IMHO all the above made library's code way more pleasant to look at, didn't it?
