• Revision #2993 Mon 2011-06-13 12:46:11 +0300

  • Fixed portability problem with partiton_error.test

  • Added option to aria_read_log to crash recovery at certain points in the\ recovery process.

  • Fixed bug that caused future recovery attempts to fail if we got a crash/got killed during closing of tables at end of recovery process.

• Revision #2992 Sun 2011-06-12 12:52:51 +0300

  • Fixed warning that sf_malloc_trough_check was not used when compiling without SAFEMALLOC

• Revision #2991 Sat 2011-06-11 14:53:08 +0300

  • Updated to new error messages for partitions when .par file is missing

• Revision #2990 Sat 2011-06-11 14:28:37 +0300

  • Increased server version to 5.2.7

• Revision #2989 Sat 2011-06-11 14:28:15 +0300

  • Fixes MySQL Bug #60976 "Crash, valgrind warning and memory leak with partitioned archive tables"

    • Noted that there was no memory leak, just a lot of used partitioned tables.

  • Fixed old bug: 'show status' now shows memory usage when compiled with safemalloc.

  • Added option --flush to mysqlcheck.c to run a 'flush tables' between each check to keep down memory usage.

  • Changed '--safemalloc' options to mysqld so that one can use --safemalloc and --skip-safemalloc.

  • Now skip-safemalloc is default (ie, we only do checking of memory overrun during free()) to speed up tests.

• Revision #2988 Fri 2011-06-10 02:02:58 +0300

  • A bit better fix for tmp-table problem

  • Fixed reference to not initialized memory detected by valgrind

• Revision #2987 [merge] Thu 2011-06-09 20:38:59 +0300

  • Merge with bug fixes

    • Revision #2983.1.2 Thu 2011-06-09 20:22:03 +0300

      • Use dynamic row format when creating temporary tables without sumary fields.

      • The reason for this is that BLOCK_RECORD format is not good when there is a lot of duplicated keys as it first writes the data (to get the row position) and then writes the key (and thus checks for duplicates).

    • Revision #2983.1.1 Thu 2011-06-09 16:17:45 +0300

      • Fixed problem that global status variables 'bytes_recieved' and 'binlog_bytes_written' where not correctly updated

• Revision #2986 Thu 2011-06-09 00:24:27 +0200

  • After talking to HeidiSQL people - libmysql.dll that comes with their distribution in place, dont replace with our own.

  • It also will result in less HeidiSQL restarts during MariaDB upgrades (since libmysql.dll won't be replaced)

• Revision #2985 Wed 2011-06-08 16:56:35 +0200

  • Fix a problem building MSI using localized (Spanish) Visual Studio 2010.

  • VS did not like to execute 2 commands in custom build step, workaround is to use single COMMAND instead of 2.

• Revision #2984 [merge] Tue 2011-06-07 22:50:08 +0200

  • merge MWL#200

    • Revision #2982.1.3 Thu 2011-06-02 10:06:51 +0200

      • use our libmysql.dll with HeidiSQL, if we compile 32 bit

    • Revision #2982.1.2 Wed 2011-06-01 21:14:10 +0200

      • Use our libmysql.dll with Heidi, if we compile 32 bit

    • Revision #2982.1.1 Wed 2011-06-01 15:52:52 +0200

      • MWL#200 - provide options to install 3rd party components.

      • Added HeidiSQL as example, i.e cmake -DWITH_THIRD_PARTY=HeidiSQL and building MSI will bundle HeidiSQL.

• Revision #2983 Mon 2011-06-06 16:39:06 +0300

  • Fixed lock sorting and lock check issues with thr_lock that caused warnings when running test suite.

  • Safety check that could cause core dump when doing create table with virtual column.

• Revision #2982 [merge] Fri 2011-05-27 19:09:40 +0200

  • merge

    • Revision #2981.1.1 Fri 2011-05-27 18:57:40 +0200

      • Workaround a cmake bug that was only visible on a newly installed Philip's machine.

      • CMake 2.8.4 crashed on this line

        IF(something AND IS_DIRECTORY(something_else))

        when both "something" and "something_else" were empty.\

    • Changing the line slightly (using cascading "IF" instead) solved the crash.

• Revision #2981 Thu 2011-05-26 18:35:26 +0300

  • Fixed memory overrun in mysql_tzinfo_to_sql

• Revision #2980 [merge] Thu 2011-05-26 18:34:22 +0300

  • Automatic merge

    • Revision #2978.1.1 [merge] Thu 2011-05-26 18:07:06 +0300

        • Revision #2643.127.14 Thu 2011-05-26 14:38:17 +0300

          • Disable call to setpriority() in pbxt. This caused mysqld to run with nice priority -19, which was far from optimal.

• Revision #2979 Thu 2011-05-26 13:42:22 +0200

  • Fix line endings.

• Revision #2978 Thu 2011-05-26 02:01:47 +0200

  • Fixed sql_perror() to return appropriate error messages on Windows,

  • The error message is now based on GetLastError() rather than errno.

  • Background: errno is C runtime specific and in many circumstances it is not set, e.g when using Win32 API or socket functions.

• Revision #2977 Thu 2011-05-26 00:37:08 +0200

  • On Windows, collect mysql error log with Windows Error Reporting.

  • This simplifies postmortem analysis for crashes reported via Winqual.

• Revision #2976 Mon 2011-05-23 15:56:43 +0200

  • Enable PBXT to be a transactional engine for sql-bench.

  • HEAP is deprecated in favor of MEMORY.

• Revision #2975 Fri 2011-05-20 14:36:13 +0300

  • Ensure we don't read a MariaDB 5.3 errmsg.sys file or new errmsg.sys file with holes for not used error messages

• Revision #2974 [merge] Fri 2011-05-20 01:44:30 +0200

  • automerge

    • Revision #2643.127.13 Wed 2011-05-18 15:15:36 +0200

      • Fix mysqltest printing of include stack.

      • The printing of include stack in the error case in mysqltest omitted the bottom of the stack (the line number in original test case file), and instead printed the top of the stack twice. Fix to print each element on the stack once and only once.

• Revision #2972 Sun 2011-05-15 13:38:18 +0200

  • Small CMake fixes :

    • add version info for the client library, dynamic plugins and some utilities

    • do not recompile client library sources 3 times (for mysqlclient , mysqlclient_notls and libmysql) One time is sufficient, so get rid of mysqlclient_notls, and link static client library to the shared.

    • remove incremental linking flag

• Revision #2971 [merge] Sat 2011-05-14 18:59:49 +0200

    • Revision #2968.1.3 Sat 2011-05-14 18:37:20 +0200

      • Bug #782223 : Memory released by Query_cache::resize() or Query_cache::free() contains active rwlocks.

      • The bug was found by application verifier.

      • Fixed by destroying locks prior to free(),

    • Revision #2968.1.2 Sat 2011-05-14 01:05:12 +0200

      • Bug #782269 : critical sections are initialized twice in xt_xn_init_db()

      • Bug #782431: active lock in memory released by xt_ind_exit()

      • Bug #782433 : xt_heap_release() does not release spinlock hp->h_lock initialized in xt_heap_new().

• Revision #2969 Fri 2011-05-13 16:22:05 +0300

  • Made test-unit run in parlallel. This was achived by having all aria tests that uses temporary files to create the temporary file in an unique tempdirectory.

  • aria_chk now returns 1 if one got any warnings during check and 2 if one got errors.

  • Bug #728919 maria_chk should fail on all detected corruptions

• Revision #2968 [merge] Thu 2011-05-12 16:31:54 +0200

  • merge

    • Revision #2643.127.12 [merge] Thu 2011-05-12 15:39:54 +0200

          • Fix check_table_file_presence:

          • On Windows, do not attempt access() for special device names like CON, PRN etc. access() would return 0, this does not mean that fiile with this name exists.

    • Revision #2643.127.11 Thu 2011-05-12 14:56:08 +0300

      • db_name can change case, so we need copy of it for case insensitive FS.
