This is a bugfix release for the current MySQL Community Server production release family. It replaces MySQL 5.0.27.
This version of MySQL Community Server has been released as a source tarball only; there are no binaries built by MySQL.
Functionality added or changed:
Incompatible Change: 
        InnoDB rolls back only the last statement on
        a transaction timeout. A new option,
        --innodb_rollback_on_timeout,
        causes InnoDB to abort and roll back the
        entire transaction if a transaction timeout occurs (the same
        behavior as in MySQL 5.0.13 and earlier).
       (Bug#24200)
Incompatible Change: 
        The prepared_stmt_count system
        variable has been converted to the
        Prepared_stmt_count global
        status variable (viewable with the
        SHOW GLOBAL
        STATUS statement).
       (Bug#23159)
MySQL Cluster: 
        Setting the configuration parameter
        LockPagesInMainMemory had no effect.
       (Bug#24461)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The ndb_config utility now accepts
        -c as a short form of the
        --ndb-connectstring option.
       (Bug#22295)
MySQL Cluster: 
        Added the --bind-address option for
        ndbd. This allows a data node process to be
        bound to a specific network interface.
       (Bug#22195)
MySQL Cluster: 
        It is now possible to create a unique hashed index on a column
        that is not defined as NOT NULL.
      
          This change applies only to tables using the
          NDB storage engine.
        
        Unique indexes on columns in NDB
        tables do not store null values because they are mapped to
        primary keys in an internal index table (and primary keys cannot
        contain nulls).
      
        Normally, an additional ordered index is created when one
        creates unique indexes on NDB table
        columns; this can be used to search for NULL
        values. However, if USING HASH is specified
        when such an index is created, no ordered index is created.
      
        The reason for permitting unique hash indexes with null values
        is that, in some cases, the user wants to save space if a large
        number of records are pre-allocated but not fully initialized.
        This also assumes that the user will not
        try to search for null values. Since MySQL does not support
        indexes that are not allowed to be searched in some cases, the
        NDB storage engine uses a full
        table scan with pushed conditions for the referenced index
        columns to return the correct result.
      
        A warning is returned if one creates a unique nullable hash
        index, since the query optimizer should be provided a hint not
        to use it with NULL values if this can be
        avoided.
       (Bug#21507)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The Ndb_number_of_storage_nodes system
        variable was renamed to
        Ndb_number_of_data_nodes.
       (Bug#20848)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The HELP command in the Cluster
        management client now provides command-specific help. For
        example, HELP RESTART in
        ndb_mgm provides detailed information about
        the RESTART command.
       (Bug#19620)
        DROP TRIGGER now supports an
        IF EXISTS clause.
       (Bug#23703)
        The Com_create_user status variable was added
        (for counting CREATE USER
        statements).
       (Bug#22958)
        The --memlock option relies on
        system calls that are unreliable on some operating systems. If a
        crash occurs, the server now checks whether
        --memlock was specified and if so
        issues some information about possible workarounds.
       (Bug#22860)
        If the user specified the server options
        --max-connections= or
        N
        --table-cache=, a warning would be given in some cases that some
        values were recalculated, with the result that
        M
        --table-cache could be assigned
        greater value.
      
        In such cases, both the warning and the increase in the
        --table-cache value were
        completely harmless. Note also that it is not possible for the
        MySQL Server to predict or to control limitations on the maximum
        number of open files, since this is determined by the operating
        system.
      
        The value of --table-cache is no
        longer increased automatically, and a warning is now given only
        if some values had to be decreased due to operating system
        limits.
       (Bug#21915)
        For the CALL statement, stored
        procedures that take no arguments now can be invoked without
        parentheses. That is, CALL p() and
        CALL p are equivalent.
       (Bug#21462)
        mysql_upgrade now passes all the parameters
        specified on the command line to both
        mysqlcheck and mysql using
        the upgrade_defaults file.
       (Bug#20100)
        SHOW STATUS is no longer logged
        to the slow query log.
       (Bug#19764)
        mysqldump --single-transaction now uses
        START TRANSACTION /*!40100 WITH CONSISTENT SNAPSHOT
        */ rather than
        BEGIN to start
        a transaction, so that a consistent snapshot will be used on
        those servers that support it.
       (Bug#19660)
The bundled yaSSL library was upgraded to version 1.5.0.
Bugs fixed:
Performance: 
        The InnoDB mutex structure was simplified to
        reduce memory load.
       (Bug#24386)
Performance: 
        InnoDB exhibited thread thrashing with more
        than 50 concurrent connections under an update-intensive
        workload.
       (Bug#22868)
Performance: 
        Evaluation of subqueries that require the filesort algorithm
        were allocating and freeing the
        sort_buffer_size buffer many
        times, resulting in slow performance. Now the buffer is
        allocated once and reused.
       (Bug#21727)
Performance: 
        InnoDB showed substandard performance with
        multiple queries running concurrently.
       (Bug#15815)
MySQL Cluster: The failure of a data node failure during a schema operation could lead to additional node failures. (Bug#24752)
MySQL Cluster: A committed read could be attempted before a data node had time to connect, causing a timeout error. (Bug#24717)
MySQL Cluster: Sudden disconnection of an SQL or data node could lead to shutdown of data nodes with the error failed ndbrequire. (Bug#24447)
MySQL Cluster: ndb_config failed when trying to use 2 management servers and node IDs. (Bug#23887)
MySQL Cluster: Backup of a cluster failed if there were any tables with 128 or more columns. (Bug#23502)
MySQL Cluster: Cluster backups failed when there were more than 2048 schema objects in the cluster. (Bug#23499)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The management client command ALL DUMP 1000
        would cause the cluster to crash if data nodes were connected to
        the cluster but not yet fully started.
       (Bug#23203)
MySQL Cluster: 
        INSERT ...
        ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE on an
        NDB table could lead to deadlocks
        and memory leaks.
       (Bug#23200)
MySQL Cluster: (NDB API): Inacivity timeouts for scans were not correctly handled. (Bug#23107)
MySQL Cluster: If a node restart could not be performed from the REDO log, no node takeover took place. This could cause partitions to be left empty during a system restart. (Bug#22893)
MySQL Cluster: Multiple node restarts in rapid succession could cause a system restart to fail , or induce a race condition. (Bug#22892, Bug#23210)
MySQL Cluster: 
        (NDB API): Attempting to read a nonexistent tuple using
        Commit mode for
        NdbTransaction::execute() caused node
        failures.
       (Bug#22672)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The --help output from
        NDB binaries did not include
        file-related options.
       (Bug#21994)
MySQL Cluster: (NDB API): Scans closed before being executed were still placed in the send queue. (Bug#21941)
MySQL Cluster: A scan timeout returned Error 4028 (Node failure caused abort of transaction) instead of Error 4008 (Node failure caused abort of transaction...). (Bug#21799)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The node recovery algorithm was missing a version check for
        tables in the ALTER_TABLE_COMMITTED state (as
        opposed to the TABLE_ADD_COMMITTED state,
        which has the version check). This could cause inconsistent
        schemas across nodes following node recovery.
       (Bug#21756)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The output for the --help option used with
        NDB executable programs (such as
        ndbd, ndb_mgm,
        ndb_restore, ndb_config,
        and others mentioned in
        Section 17.4, “MySQL Cluster Programs”) referred to the
        Ndb.cfg file, instead of to
        my.cnf.
       (Bug#21585)
MySQL Cluster: Partition distribution keys were updated only for the primary and starting replicas during node recovery. This could lead to node failure recovery for clusters having an odd number of replicas.
          For best results, use values for
          NumberOfReplicas that are even powers of 2.
        
MySQL Cluster: The ndb_mgm management client did not set the exit status on errors, always returning 0 instead. (Bug#21530)
MySQL Cluster: Cluster logs were not rotated following the first rotation cycle. (Bug#21345)
MySQL Cluster: 
        When inserting a row into an NDB
        table with a duplicate value for a nonprimary unique key, the
        error issued would reference the wrong key.
       (Bug#21072)
MySQL Cluster: 
        Condition pushdown did not work correctly with
        DATETIME columns.
       (Bug#21056)
MySQL Cluster: Under some circumstances, local checkpointing would hang, keeping any unstarted nodes from being started. (Bug#20895)
MySQL Cluster: 
        Using an invalid node ID with the management client
        STOP command could cause
        ndb_mgm to hang.
       (Bug#20575)
MySQL Cluster: Data nodes added while the cluster was running in single user mode were all assigned node ID 0, which could later cause multiple node failures. Adding nodes while in single user mode is no longer possible. (Bug#20395)
MySQL Cluster: 
        In some cases where SELECT COUNT(*) from an
        NDB table should have yielded an
        error, MAX_INT was returned instead.
       (Bug#19914)
MySQL Cluster: Following the restart of a management node, the Cluster management client did not automatically reconnect. (Bug#19873)
MySQL Cluster: 
        Error messages given when trying to make online changes to
        parameters such as NoOfReplicas that can only
        be changed via a complete shutdown and restart of the cluster
        did not indicate the true nature of the problem.
       (Bug#19787)
MySQL Cluster: ndb_restore did not always make clear that it had recovered successfully from temporary errors while restoring a cluster backup. (Bug#19651)
MySQL Cluster: 
        In rare situations with resource shortages, a crash could result
        from insufficient IndexScanOperations.
       (Bug#19198)
MySQL Cluster: ndb_mgm -e show | head would hang after displaying the first 10 lines of output. (Bug#19047)
MySQL Cluster: The error returned by the cluster when too many nodes were defined did not make clear the nature of the problem. (Bug#19045)
MySQL Cluster: 
        A unique constraint violation was not ignored by an
        UPDATE IGNORE statement when the constraint
        violation occurred on a nonprimary key.
       (Bug#18487, Bug#24303)
MySQL Cluster: 
        The ndb_config utility did not perform host
        lookups correctly when using the --host option
       (Bug#17582)
MySQL Cluster: A problem with takeover during a system restart caused ordered indexes to be rebuilt incorrectly. (Bug#15303)
Replication: Changes to character set variables prior to an action on a replication-ignored table were forgotten by slave servers. (Bug#22877)
Replication: On slave servers, transactions that exceeded the lock wait timeout failed to roll back properly. (Bug#20697)
Replication: Column names were not quoted properly for replicated views. (Bug#19736)
Replication: 
        SQL statements close to the size of
        max_allowed_packet could
        produce binary log events larger than
        max_allowed_packet that could
        not be read by slave servers.
       (Bug#19402)
Replication: 
        Slave servers would retry the execution of an SQL statement an
        infinite number of times, ignoring the value
        SLAVE_TRANSACTION_RETRIES when using the NDB
        engine.
       (Bug#16228)
Replication: 
        Transient errors in replication from master to slave may trigger
        multiple Got fatal error 1236: 'binlog truncated in the
        middle of event' errors on the slave.
       (Bug#4053)
Cluster API: 
        Using BIT values with any of the
        comparison methods of the NdbScanFilter class
        caused data nodes to fail.
       (Bug#24503)
Cluster API: Some MGM API function calls could yield incorrect return values in certain cases where the cluster was operating under a very high load, or experienced timeouts in inter-node communications. (Bug#24011)
Cluster API: 
        The NdbOperation::getBlobHandle() method,
        when called with the name of a nonexistent column, caused a
        segmentation fault.
       (Bug#21036)
Cluster API: When multiple processes or threads in parallel performed the same ordered scan with exclusive lock and updated the retrieved records, the scan could skip some records, which as a result were not updated. (Bug#20446)
        The REPEAT() function could
        return NULL when passed a column for the
        count argument.
       (Bug#24947)
        mysql_upgrade failed if the
        --password (or -p) option
        was given.
       (Bug#24896)
        With innodb_file_per_table
        enabled, InnoDB displayed incorrect file
        times in the output from SHOW TABLE
        STATUS.
       (Bug#24712)
        ALTER ENABLE KEYS or ALTER TABLE
        DISABLE KEYS combined with another
        ALTER TABLE option other than
        RENAME TO did nothing. In addition, if ALTER
        TABLE was used on a table having disabled keys, the keys of the
        resulting table were enabled.
       (Bug#24395)
        The --extern option for
        mysql-test-run.pl did not function correctly.
       (Bug#24354)
        Foreign key identifiers for InnoDB tables
        could not contain certain characters.
       (Bug#24299)
The mysql.server script used the source command, which is less portable than the . command; it now uses . instead. (Bug#24294)
        ALTER TABLE statements that
        performed both RENAME TO and
        {ENABLE|DISABLE} KEYS operations caused a
        server crash.
       (Bug#24219)
        The loose index scan optimization for GROUP
        BY with MIN or
        MAX was not applied within other queries,
        such as CREATE
        TABLE ... SELECT ..., INSERT ... SELECT
        ..., or in the FROM clauses of
        subqueries.
       (Bug#24156)
        There was a race condition in the InnoDB
        fil_flush_file_spaces() function.
       (Bug#24089)
This regression was introduced by Bug#15653.
Subqueries for which a pushed-down condition did not produce exactly one key field could cause a server crash. (Bug#24056)
        The size of MEMORY tables and internal
        temporary tables was limited to 4GB on 64-bit Windows systems.
       (Bug#24052)
yaSSL-related memory leaks were detected by Valgrind. (Bug#23981)
        The internal SQL interpreter of InnoDB placed
        an unnecessary lock on the supremum record with
        innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog
        enabled. This caused an assertion failure when
        InnoDB was built with debugging enabled.
       (Bug#23769)
        ROW_COUNT() did not work properly
        as an argument to a stored procedure.
       (Bug#23760)
        LAST_DAY('0000-00-00') could
        cause a server crash.
       (Bug#23653)
A trigger that invoked a stored function could cause a server crash when activated by different client connections. (Bug#23651)
The stack size for NetWare binaries was increased to 128KB to prevent problems caused by insufficient stack size. (Bug#23504)
        If elements in a nontop-level IN subquery
        were accessed by an index and the subquery result set included a
        NULL value, the quantified predicate that
        contained the subquery was evaluated to NULL
        when it should return a non-NULL value.
       (Bug#23478)
        When applying the
        group_concat_max_len limit,
        GROUP_CONCAT() could truncate
        multi-byte characters in the middle.
       (Bug#23451)
MySQL 5.0.26 introduced an ABI incompatibility, which this release reverts. Programs compiled against 5.0.26 are not compatible with any other version and must be recompiled. (Bug#23427)

        mysql_affected_rows() could
        return values different from
        mysql_stmt_affected_rows() for
        the same sequence of statements.
       (Bug#23383)
        For not-yet-authenticated connections, the
        Time column in SHOW
        PROCESSLIST was a random value rather than
        NULL.
       (Bug#23379)
        Accuracy was improved for comparisons between
        DECIMAL columns and numbers
        represented as strings.
       (Bug#23260)
MySQL failed to build on Linux/Alpha. (Bug#23256)
This regression was introduced by Bug#21250.
        If COMPRESS() returned
        NULL, subsequent invocations of
        COMPRESS() within a result set or
        within a trigger also returned NULL.
       (Bug#23254)
        Calculation of COUNT(DISTINCT),
        AVG(DISTINCT), or
        SUM(DISTINCT) when they are
        referenced more than once in a single query with GROUP
        BY could cause a server crash.
       (Bug#23184)
        Insufficient memory
        (myisam_sort_buffer_size) could
        cause a server crash for several operations on
        MyISAM tables: repair table, create index by

        If a table contains an AUTO_INCREMENT column,
        inserting into an insertable view on the table that does not
        include the AUTO_INCREMENT column should not
        change the value of
        LAST_INSERT_ID(), because the
        side effects of inserting default values into columns not part
        of the view should not be visible. MySQL was incorrectly setting
        LAST_INSERT_ID() to zero.

        Trailing spaces were not removed from Unicode
        CHAR column values when used in
        indexes. This resulted in excessive usage of storage space, and
        could affect the results of some ORDER BY
        queries that made use of such indexes.
      
          When upgrading, it is necessary to re-create any existing
          indexes on Unicode CHAR columns
          in order to take advantage of the fix. This can be done by
          using a REPAIR TABLE statement
          on each affected table.
        
        The code for generating USE

        Adding a day, month, or year interval to a
        DATE value produced a
        DATE, but adding a week interval
        produced a DATETIME value. Now
        all produce a DATE value.

In some cases, the parser failed to distinguish a user-defined function from a stored function. (Bug#21809)
Use of a subquery that invoked a function in the column list of the outer query resulted in a memory leak. (Bug#21798)
        Inserting a default or invalid value into a spatial column could
        fail with Unknown error rather than a more
        appropriate error.
       (Bug#21790)
        It was possible to use DATETIME
        values whose year, month, and day parts were all zeroes but
        whose hour, minute, and second parts contained nonzero values,
        an example of such an illegal
        DATETIME being
        '0000-00-00 11:23:45'.
      
This fix was reverted in MySQL 5.0.40.

        View columns were always handled as having implicit derivation,
        leading to illegal mix of collation errors
        for some views in UNION
        operations. Now view column derivation comes from the original
        expression given in the view definition.

        Creating a TEMPORARY table with the same name
        as an existing table that was locked by another client could
        result in a lock conflict for DROP TEMPORARY
        TABLE because the server unnecessarily tried to
        acquire a name lock.
       (Bug#21096)
        Incorrect results could be obtained from re-execution of a
        parametrized prepared statement or a stored routine with a
        SELECT that uses LEFT
        JOIN with a second table having only one row.
       (Bug#21081)
Within a stored routine, a view definition cannot refer to routine parameters or local variables. However, an error did not occur until the routine was called. Now it occurs during parsing of the routine creation statement.
          A side effect of this fix is that if you have already created
          such routines, and error will occur if you execute
          SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE or
          SHOW CREATE FUNCTION. You
          should drop these routines because they are erroneous.
        
        In mysql, invoking connect

        A query with a subquery that references columns of a view from
        the outer SELECT could return an
        incorrect result if used from a prepared statement.
       (Bug#20327)
        For queries that select from a view, the server was returning
        MYSQL_FIELD metadata inconsistently for view
        names and table names. For view columns, the server now returns
        the view name in the table field and, if the
        column selects from an underlying table, the table name in the
        org_table field.
