    • don't put libmysqlclient symbols extra-used on debian in the libmysqlclient_16 version node.

    • 5.3 merge
    • Revision #2502.567.220 Sun 2014-03-23 16:02:56 +0400

      • Merge
      • Revision #2502.586.1 Thu 2014-03-13 12:20:57 +0100
        • MDEV-5811: Server crashes in best_access_path with materialization+semijoin and big_tables=ON
    • With big_tables=ON, materialized table will use Aria (or MyISAM) SE, which allows prefix key reads. However, the temp.table has rec_per_key=NULL which causes the optimizer to crash when attempting to read index statistics for a prefix index read.
    • Fixed by providing a rec_per_key array with zeros (i.e. "no statistics data")
  • Revision #4123 Mon 2014-03-24 20:02:08 +0100
  • Revision #4122 Mon 2014-03-24 20:02:00 +0100
    • mysqltest bug: reset --replace command after every error message (because error messages use replacements)
  • Revision #4121 Mon 2014-03-24 20:01:55 +0100
    • MDEV-5822 TokuDB fails to compile without partition storage engine
  • Revision #4120 Mon 2014-03-24 20:01:50 +0100

  • Revision #4119 Mon 2014-03-24 20:01:45 +0100
    • rpl tests: move "include/master-slave.inc" down to be after all possible checks that can skip the test
  • Revision #4118 Mon 2014-03-24 20:01:37 +0100
  • Revision #4117 Wed 2014-03-19 10:03:34 +0100
    • MDEV-5773 symbol list_add, version libmysqlclient_18 not defined in file libmysqlclient.so.18 with link time reference MDEV-5763 libmyodbc.so: undefined symbol: int2str MDEV-5739 Symbol missing in libmysqlclient.so.18 (make_scrambled_password)
  • Revision #4116 Wed 2014-03-19 10:02:41 +0100
  • Revision #4115 Sun 2014-03-23 18:44:48 +0400
    • MDEV-5862 server_audit test fails in buildbot on Mac (labrador). The RTLD_DEFAULT value on Labrador machine is not NULL, so the dlsym() commands in the server_audit just fail to bind the necessary functions. Fixed by using RTLD_DEFAULT explicitly.

      • Revision #2502.567.215 Fri 2014-03-14 11:38:17 +0200

      • Revision #2502.567.211 Fri 2014-03-07 13:57:07 +0200
        • MDEV-5740: Assertion `!derived->first_select()->exclude_from_table_unique_test || derived->outer_select()-> exclude_from_table_unique_test' failed on 2nd execution of PS with derived_merge
      • Revision #2502.567.210 Thu 2014-03-06 13:56:34 -0800
        • Fixed bug MDEV-5686. The calls of the function remove_eq_conds() may change the and/or structure of the where conditions. So JOIN::equal_cond should be updated for non-recursive calls of remove_eq_conds().
    • Revision #4110.1.1 Wed 2014-02-26 16:15:52 +0100
      • Fix code in make_sortkey() that only worked by chance (assert added by MySQL verified that strnxfrm can only *increase* the string length if from == to, and the latter is a random decision made by individual items and String::realloc).
  • Revision #4113 Tue 2014-03-18 16:26:02 +0200
    • Fixed buildbot issues
  • Revision #4112 Tue 2014-03-18 10:26:50 +0200
    • Fixed some buildbot failures
  • Revision #4111 Mon 2014-03-17 19:09:53 +0400
    • MDEV-5681 audit log will not rotate when the file size exceeds global variable setting. Notifications about changed variables: server_audit_file_rotate_now server_audit_file_rotations server_audit_file_rotations are now handled and one doesn't need to stop/start logging to make them effective.
  • Revision #4110 Fri 2014-03-14 16:29:23 +0200
    • MDEV-5829: STOP SLAVE resets global status variables
  • Revision #4109 Thu 2014-02-13 11:40:49 +0400
    • MDEV-5089 - possible deadlocks between rwlocks and mutexes
  • Revision #4108 Tue 2014-03-11 19:07:02 +0100
    • Debugging aid: Add T* List<T>::elem(int n) which returns N-th element in the list.
    • There was List<N>::nth_element() but it didn't work because linker removed it.
    • Now, removal by linker is prevented for important values of T, and function is renamed.
  • Revision #4107 [merge] Tue 2014-03-11 17:14:48 +0100
    • Merge
    • Revision #4099.1.1 Tue 2014-03-11 16:45:08 +0100
      • MDEV-5177: ha_partition and innodb index intersection produce fewer rows (MySQL Bug#70703) (This is attempt at fix #2) (re-commit with fixed typo)
      • Moved the testcase from partition_test to partition_innodb.test where it can really work.
      • Made ordered index scans over ha_partition tables to satisfy ROR property for the case where underlying table uses extended keys.
  • Revision #4106 Tue 2014-03-11 17:37:46 +0200
    • Fixed test failure (5.5 had different test result than 10.0)
  • Revision #4105 Tue 2014-03-11 16:53:24 +0200
    • Fixed a compiler failure and removed some warnings in windows
  • Revision #4104 Mon 2014-03-10 21:40:27 +0200
    • Fixed MDEV-5724 "Server crashes on SQL select containing more group by and left join statements using innodb tables"
  • Revision #4103 Tue 2014-03-04 20:50:19 +0100
    • MDEV-5703: [PATCH] Slave disconnects and fails to reconnect on Error_code: 1159
  • Revision #4102 Tue 2014-03-04 16:15:58 +0400
    • MDEV-5723: mysqldump -uroot unusable for multi-database operations, checks all databases
    • MariaDB-5.5 part of the fix: since we can't easily fix query optimization for I_S tables, run the affected-tablespaces query with semijoin=off. It happens to have a good query plan with that setting.
  • Revision #4101 Fri 2014-02-28 00:41:08 +0400
    • MDEV-5756 Add Audit Plugin to Debian packaging.
  • Revision #4100 Fri 2014-02-28 00:23:20 +0400
    • MDEV-5436 mysqld crash signal 11 in mysql_audit_general. That error 'Can't open the pid file' leads to mysqld crash signal 11 in mysql_audit_general() called with the 'thd' parameter set to NULL. That wasn't checked when the thd->db and thd->db_length were accessed. Fixed by checking for the NULL thd.
  • Revision #4099 Wed 2014-02-26 16:25:05 +0400
    • Increment the version number
  • Revision #4098 Wed 2014-02-26 13:49:50 +0200
    • MDEV-5746: Slow file extend when innodb_use_fallocate=1 and SSD file storage.
  • Revision #4097 Wed 2014-02-26 12:06:12 +0200
    • MDEV-5742: Assertion failure node->n_pending on fil0fil.c line 5039 on debug build when innodb_use_fallocate=1
  • Revision #4096 Mon 2014-02-24 23:40:16 +0400
    • MariaDB Audit plugin added.
