C.1.1. Changes in MySQL 5.0.88


 Bugs fixed:

   * Security Fix: MySQL clients linked against OpenSSL did not
     check server certificates presented by a server linked against
     yaSSL. (Bug#47320: http://bugs.mysql.com/47320)

   * MySQL Cluster: When a data node had written its GCI marker to
     the first page of a megabyte, and that node was later killed
     during restart after having processed that page (marker) but
     before completing a LCP, the data node could fail with
     filesystem errors. (Bug#44952: http://bugs.mysql.com/44952)
     See also Bug#42564: http://bugs.mysql.com/42564,
     Bug#44291: http://bugs.mysql.com/44291.

   * Replication: When a session was closed on the master,
     temporary tables belonging to that session were logged with
     the wrong database names when either of the following
     conditions was true:

       1. The length of the name of the database to which the
          temporary table belonged was greater than the length of
          the current database name.

       2. The current database was not set.
     (Bug#48216: http://bugs.mysql.com/48216)
     See also Bug#46861: http://bugs.mysql.com/46861,
     Bug#48297: http://bugs.mysql.com/48297.

   * Error handling was missing for SELECT statements containing
     subqueries in the WHERE clause and that assigned a SELECT
     result to a user variable. The server could crash as a result.
     (Bug#48291: http://bugs.mysql.com/48291)

   * An assertion could fail if the optimizer used a SPATIAL index.
     (Bug#48258: http://bugs.mysql.com/48258,
     Bug#47019: http://bugs.mysql.com/47019)

   * mysys/mf_keycache.c requires threading, but no test was made
     for thread support. (Bug#47923: http://bugs.mysql.com/47923)

   * If the first argument to GeomFromWKB() function was a geometry
     value, the function just returned its value. However, it
     failed to preserve the argument's null_value flag, which
     caused an unexpected NULL value to be returned to the caller,
     resulting in a server crash.
     (Bug#47780: http://bugs.mysql.com/47780)

   * The GPL and commercial license headers had different sizes, so
     that error log, backtrace, core dump, and cluster trace file
     line numbers could be off by one if they were not checked
     against the version of the source used for the build. (For
     example, checking a GPL build backtrace against commercial
     sources.) (Bug#46216: http://bugs.mysql.com/46216)

   * During the build of the Red Hat IA64 MySQL server RPM, the
     system library link order was incorrect. This made the
     resulting Red Hat IA64 RPM depend on
     "libc.so.6.1(GLIBC_PRIVATE)(64bit)", thus preventing
     installation of the package.
     (Bug#45706: http://bugs.mysql.com/45706)

   * Failure to treat BIT values as unsigned could lead to
     unpredictable results.
     (Bug#42803: http://bugs.mysql.com/42803)
