  • Revision #2911
    • Give a more precise warning why something fails.
    • Fixed typo that caused warnings from mysql-test-run
  • Revision #2910 [merge]
    • Automatic merge
      • Revision #2891.3.6
        • Fixed recovery bug where bitmap pages would not be correctly updated after processing UNDO rows.
        • Fixed test failures in buildbot
        • Don't write errors when failing to send ok packet
      • Revision #2891.3.5
        • Fixed compiler failures when compiling non debug build
      • Revision #2891.3.4 [merge]
        • Automatic merge
          • Revision #2891.1.29
            • Fixed bug that 'maria_read_log -a' didn't set max_trid when reparing tables.
            • Fixed bug in Aria when replacing short keys with long keys and a key tree both overflow and underflow at same time.
            • Fixed several bugs when generating recovery logs when using RGQ with replacing long keys with short keys and vice versa.
            • Lots of new DBUG_ASSERT()'s
            • Added more information to recovery log to make it easier to know from where log entry orginated.
            • Introduced MARIA_PAGE->org_size that tells what the size of the page was in last log entry. This allows us to find out if all key changes for index page was logged.
            • Small code cleanups:
              • Introduced _ma_log_key_changes() to log crc of key page changes
