=======================================================================
C.1.1. Changes in MySQL 5.1.48

   Functionality added or changed:

     * The Rows_examined value in slow query log rows now is nonzero
       for UPDATE and DELETE statements that modify rows.
       (Bug#49756: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49756)

   Bugs fixed:

     * Important Change: Replication: MyISAM transactions replicated
       to a transactional slave left the slave in an unstable
       condition. This was due to the fact that, when replicating
       from a nontransactional storage engine to a transactional
       engine with autocommit turned off, no BEGIN and COMMIT
       statements were written to the binary log; thus, on the slave,
       a never-ending transaction was started.
       The fix for this issue includes enforcing autocommit mode on
       the slave by replicating all autocommit=1 statements from the
       master. (Bug#29288: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=29288)

     * Partitioning: ALTER TABLE statements that cause table
       partitions to be renamed or dropped (such as ALTER TABLE ...
       ADD PARTITION, ALTER TABLE ... DROP PARTITION, and ALTER TABLE
       ... REORGANIZE PARTITION) --- when run concurrently with
       queries against the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARTITIONS table ---
       could fail, cause the affected partitioned tables to become
       unusable, or both. This was due to the fact that the
       INFORMATION_SCHEMA database ignored the name lock imposed by
       the ALTER TABLE statement on the partitions affected. In
       particular, this led to problems with InnoDB tables, because
       InnoDB would accept the rename operation, but put it in a
       background queue, so that subsequent rename operations failed
       when InnoDB was unable to find the correct partition. Now,
       INFORMATION_SCHEMA honors name locks imposed by ongoing ALTER
       TABLE statements that cause partitions to be renamed or
       dropped. (Bug#50561: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50561)
       See also Bug#47343: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=47343,
       Bug#45808: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=45808.

     * Partitioning: It was possible to execute a CREATE TEMPORARY
       TABLE tmp LIKE pt statement, where pt is a partitioned table,
       even though partitioned temporary tables are not permitted,
       which caused the server to crash. Now a check is performed to
       prevent such statements from being executed.
       (Bug#49477: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49477)

     * Partitioning: When attempting to perform DDL on a partitioned
       table and the table's .par file could not be found, the server
       returned the inaccurate error message Out of memory; restart
       server and try again (needed 2 bytes). Now in such cases, the
       server returns the error Failed to initialize partitions from
       .par file. (Bug#49161: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49161)

     * Replication: In some cases, attempting to update a column with
       a value of an incompatible type resulted in a mismatch between
       master and slave because the column value was set to its
       implicit default value on the master (as expected), but the
       same column on the slave was set to NULL.
       (Bug#52868: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=52868)

     * Replication: When using a non-transactional table on the
       master with autocommit disabled, no COMMIT was recorded in the
       binary log following a statement affecting this table. If the
       slave's copy of the table used a transactional storage engine,
       the result on the slave was as though a transaction had been
       started, but never completed.
       (Bug#49522: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49522)
       See also Bug#29288: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=29288.

     * Replication: Reading from a table that used a self-logging
       storage engine and updating a table that used a transactional
       engine (such as InnoDB) generated changes that were written to
       the binary log using statement format which could make slaves
       diverge. However, when using mixed logging format, such
       changes should be written to the binary log using row format.
       (This issue did not occur when reading from tables using a
       self-logging engine and updating MyISAM tables, as this was
       already handled by checking for combinations of
       non-transactional and transactional engines.) Now such
       statements are classified as unsafe, and in mixed mode, cause
       a switch to row-based logging.
       (Bug#49019: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=49019)

     * Valgrind warnings resulting from passing incomplete DATETIME
       values to the TIMESTAMP() function were corrected.
       (Bug#53942: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53942)

     * Builds of the embedded mysqld would fail due to a missing
       element of the struct NET.
       (Bug#53908: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53908,
       Bug#53912: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53912)

     * UPDATE on an InnoDB table modifying the same index that was
       used to satisfy the WHERE condition could trigger a debug
       assertion under some circumstances.
       (Bug#53830: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53830)

     * For single-table DELETE statements that used quick select and
       index scan simultaneously caused a server crash or assertion
       failure. (Bug#53450: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53450)

     * Incorrect results could be returned for LEFT JOIN of InnoDB
       tables with an impossible WHERE condition.
       (Bug#53334: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53334)

     * Fixed a checksum error reported for compressed tables when the
       --innodb_checksums option is enabled.
       (Bug#53248: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53248)

     * Corrected the handling of the setting
       innodb_change_buffering=default. (The appropriate default
       value is different between MySQL 5.1 and 5.5.)
       (Bug#53165: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53165)

     * mysqldump and SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE truncated long BLOB and
       TEXT values to 766 bytes.
       (Bug#53088: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=53088)

     * In the debug version of the server, the FreeState() function
       could in some circumstances be called twice, leading to an
       assertion failure.
       (Bug#52884: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=52884)

     * Aggregate functions could incorrectly return NULL in outer
       join queries.
       (Bug#52051: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=52051)

     * The Loose Index Scan optimization method assumed that it could
       depend on the partitioning engine to maintain interval
       endpoint information, as if it were a storage engine.
       (Bug#50939: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50939)

     * Calculation of intervals for Event Scheduler events was not
       portable. (Bug#50087: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50087)

     * Selecting from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES or
       INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS
       (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/parameters-table.html)
       resulted in a memory leak.
       (Bug#48729: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=48729)

     * When the transaction isolation level was REPEATABLE READ and
       binary logging used statement or mixed format, SELECT
       statements with subqueries referencing InnoDB tables
       unnecessarily acquired shared locks on rows in these tables.
       (Bug#46947: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=46947)

     * Using an initial command with mysql_options(...,
       MYSQL_INIT_COMMAND, ...) that generated multiple result sets
       (such as a stored procedure or a multi-statement command) left
       the connection unusable.
       (Bug#42373: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=42373)

     * If a crash occurs while creating an index using the InnoDB
       "Fast Index Creation" mechanism, the partially created index
       is dropped during the crash recovery processing when the
       database is restarted.
