Hi,

MySQL 4.1.13, a new version of the popular Open Source Database Management
System, has been released. The Community Edition is now available in source
and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ and mirror sites.

Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at this point in time -
if you can't find this version on some mirror, please try again later or
choose another download site.

This is a bugfix release for the current production version.

Please refer to our bug database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more
details about the individual bugs fixed in this version.

News from the ChangeLog:

 Functionality added or changed:

   * Security  improvement:  Applied a patch that addresses a zlib data
     vulnerability that could result in a buffer overflow and code execution.
     (CAN-2005-2096
     (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0711)) (Bug
     #11844 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11844))
   * MEMORY tables now support indexes of up to 500 bytes. See Section 14.3,
     "The     MEMORY    (HEAP)    Storage    Engine."    (Bug    #10566
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10566))
   * System variables are now treated as having SYSVAR (system constant)
     coercibility. For example, @@version is now treated like VERSION() and
     @@character_set_client  is now treated like CHARSET( USER() ). See
     Section 10.3.11, "Some Special Cases Where the Collation Determination
     Is Tricky." (Bug #10904 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10904))
   * The statements CREATE TABLE, TRUNCATE TABLE, DROP DATABASE, and CREATE
     DATABASE     cause     an     implicit    commit.    (Bug    #6883
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/6883))
   * Added the --log-slow-admin-statements server option to request logging
     of slow administrative statements such as OPTIMIZE TABLE, ANALYZE TABLE,
     and ALTER TABLE to the slow query log. These statements were logged in
     MySQL 4.0, but not in 4.1. (Bug #9141 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9141))
   * SHOW BINARY LOGS now displays a File_size column that indicates the size
     of each file.
   * You can again refer to other tables in the ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE part
     of an INSERT ... SELECT statement as long as there is no GROUP BY in the
     SELECT part. One side effect of this is that you may have to qualify
     non-unique column names in the values part of ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
     (Bug     #9728     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9728),     Bug     #8147
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/8147))
   * The table, type, and rows columns of EXPLAIN output can now be NULL.
     This is required for using EXPLAIN on SELECT queries that use no tables,
     such as EXPLAIN SELECT 1). (Bug #9899 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9899))
   * Expanded on information provided in general log and slow query log for
     prepared statements. (Bug #8367 (http://bugs.mysql.com/8367), Bug #9334
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9334))
   * InnoDB: When creating or extending an InnoDB data file, allocate at most
     one megabyte at a time for initializing the file. Previously, InnoDB
     used to allocate and initialize 1 or 8 megabytes of memory, even if a
     few  16-kilobyte  pages  were to be written. This fix improves the
     performance of CREATE TABLE in innodb_file_per_table mode.

 Bugs fixed:

   * Added a missing mutex when rotating the relay logs. Also, the server now
     logs an error message if the size of a relay log cannot be read. (Bug
     #6987 (http://bugs.mysql.com/6987))
   * mysqldump could crash for illegal or nonexistent table names. (Bug #9358
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9358))
   * The --no-data option for mysqldump was being ignored if table names were
     given after the database name. (Bug #9558 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9558))
   * mysqldump now exports HASH index definitions using USING rather than
     TYPE when the index name is optional. This corrects a problem when
     reloading the output for PRIMARY KEY definition, because TYPE must be
     preceded an index name, which is not given for a PRIMARY KEY. (Bug
     #11635 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11635))
   * The --master-data option for mysqldump resulted in no error if the
     binary log was not enabled. Now an error occurs unless the --force
     option is given. (Bug #11678 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11678))
   * Corrected an optimization failure where a query returned an incorrect
     result for use of a newly populated table until the table was flushed.
     (Bug #11700 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11700))
   * Modifying a CHAR column with the utf8 character set to a shorter length
     did not properly truncate values due to not computing their length in
     utf8 character units. (Bug #11591 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11591))
   * DES_ENCRYPT() and DES_DECRYPT() require SSL support to be enabled, but
     were not checking for it. Checking for incorrect arguments or resource
     exhaustion  was  also  improved  for  these functions. (Bug #10589
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10589))
   * Invoking the DES_ENCRYPT() function could cause a server crash if the
     server  was started without the --des-key-file option. (Bug #11643
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/11643))
   * Selecting the result of an aggregate function for an ENUM or SET column
     within  a  subquery  could  result  in a server crash. (Bug #11821
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/11821))
   * When used in joins, SUBSTRING() failed to truncate to zero those string
     values  that  could  not  be  converted  to  numbers.  (Bug #10124
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10124))
   * Error when performing GROUP BY on calculated values of a single row
     table. (Bug #11414 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11414))
   * mysqldump --xml did not format NULL column values correctly. (Bug #9657
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9657))
   * SHOW WARNINGS did not properly display warnings generated by executing a
     cached query. (Bug #9414 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9414))
   * Temporary tables were created in the data directory instead of tmpdir.
     (Bug #11440 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11440))
   * LOAD DATA ... REPLACE INTO ... on a replication slave failed for an
     InnoDB table having a unique index in addition to the primary key. (Bug
     #11401 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11401))
   * MySQL would not compile correctly on QNX due to missing rint() function.
     (Bug #11544 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11544))
   * Incorrect results when searching using IN() where search items included
     NULL and 0. (Bug #9393 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9393))
   * NDB Cluster: When trying to open a table that could not be discovered or
     unpacked,  cluster would return error codes which the MySQL server
     falsely  interpreted  as  operating  system  errors.  (Bug #103651
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/103651))
   * Manually  inserting  a row with host='' into mysql.tables_priv and
     performing a FLUSH PRIVILEGES would cause the server to crash. (Bug
     #11330 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11330))
   * MySQL sometimes reported erroneously that certain character values had
     crashed a table when trying to convert other character sets to UTF-8.
     (Bug #9557 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9557))
   * Using CONCAT_WS() on a column set NOT NULL caused incorrect results when
     used in a LEFT JOIN. (Bug #11469 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11469))
   * mysqld_safe would sometimes fail to remove the pid file for the old
     mysql process after a crash. As a result, the server would fail to start
     due to a false A mysqld process already exists... error. (Bug #11122
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/11122))
   * For MEMORY tables, it was possible for for updates to be performed using
     outdated  key statistics when the updates involved only very small
     changes in a very few rows. This resulted in the random failures of
     queries such as UPDATE t SET col = col + 1 WHERE col_key = 2; where the
     same  query  with  no  WHERE  clause  would  succeed.  (Bug #10178
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10178))
   * The NULLIF() function could produce incorrect results if the first
     argument was NULL. (Bug #11142 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11142))
   * Optimizer performed range check when comparing unsigned integers to
     negative    constants,    could    cause   errors.   (Bug   #11185
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/11185))
   * Cluster    failed   to   build   with   gcc   4.0.   (Bug   #11377
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/11377))
   * The LAST_DAY() failed to return NULL when supplied with an invalid
     argument. See Section 12.5, "Date and Time Functions." (Bug #10568
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10568))
   * Setting @@SQL_MODE = NULL caused an erroneous error message. (Bug #10732
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10732))
   * Server crashed when using GROUP BY on the result of a DIV operation on a
     DATETIME value. (Bug #11385 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11385))
   * Possible NULL values in BLOB columns could crash server when BLOB used
     in GROUP BY. (Bug #11295 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11295))
   * Fixed 64 bit compiler warning for packet length in replication. (Bug
     #11064 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11064))
   * Security fix: On Windows systems, a user with any of the following
     privileges
        + REFERENCES
        + CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES
        + GRANT OPTION
        + CREATE
        + SELECT
     on *.* could crash mysqld by issuing a USE LPT1; or USE PRN; command. In
     addition, any of the commands USE NUL;, USE CON;, USE COM1;, or USE AUX;
     would report success even though the database was not in fact changed.
     (Bug     #9148     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9148),     CAN-2005-0799
     (http://cve.mitre.org/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0799)
   * CASE  function returns incorrect result when its arguments are not
     constants and its return value is put into a regular or temporary table
     (temporary == created by SQL engine for UNION/non-indexed GROUP BY and
     such operations). (Bug #10151 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10151))
   * A problem with the my_global.h file caused compilation of MySQL to fail
     on single-processor Linux systems running 2.6 kernels. (Bug #10364
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10364))
   * Queries against a table using a compound index based on the length of a
     UTF-8 text column produced incorrect results. For example, given a table
     with an index defined as shown:
       CREATE TABLE t (
       id INT NOT NULL,
       city VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
       KEY (city(7),id)
       ) TYPE=MYISAM CHARACTER SET=utf8;
     Assuming that suitable data has been inserted into the table, then a
     query such as SELECT * FROM t WHERE city = 'Durban'; would fail. (Bug
     #10253 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10253))
   * The mysqlhotcopy script was not parsing the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS
     correctly when called with the --record_log_pos option. (Bug #7967
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/7967))
   * An UPDATE query containing a subselect caused replication to fail. (Bug
     #9361 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9361))
   * Last insert expected from a query of the form INSERT ... SELECT ... ON
     DUPLICATE     KEY     UPDATE     would     fail.     (Bug    #9728
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9728))
   * INSERT  ... SELECT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE produced inaccurate
     results. (Bug #10886 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10886))
   * SELECT DISTINCT ... GROUP BY constant returned multiple rows (it should
     return a single row). (Bug #8614 (http://bugs.mysql.com/8614))
   * Queries  of  the  form  UPDATE  ... (SELECT ... ) SET ... run on a
     replication  master  would  crash  all  the  slaves.  (Bug  #10442
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10442))
   * OPTIMIZE  of InnoDB table did not return 'Table is full' if out of
     tablespace. (Bug #8135 (http://bugs.mysql.com/8135))
   * Queries   with  ROLLUP  returned  wrong  results  for  expressions
     containingGROUP BY columns. (Bug #7894 (http://bugs.mysql.com/7894))
   * Fixed hang/crash with Boolean full-text search where a query contained
     more  query  terms that one-third of the query length (it could be
     achieved   with   truncation  operator:  'a*b*c*d*').  (Bug  #7858
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/7858))
   * The mysql client would output a prompt twice following input of very
     long strings, because it incorrectly assumed that a call to the _cgets()
     function    would    clear   the   input   buffer.   (Bug   #10840
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10840))
   * A bug in FIELD() function caused the value list to contain NULL. (Bug
     #10944 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10944))
   * A  three  byte buffer overflow in the client functions could cause
     improper exiting of the client when reading a command from the user.
     (Bug #10841 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10841))
   * Fixed a problem with the cp1250_czech_cs collation that caused some LIKE
     comparisons to fail. (Bug #9759 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9759))
   * Fixed a problem resolving table names with lower_case_table_names=2 when
     the table name lettercase differed in the FROM and WHERE clauses. (Bug
     #9500 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9500))
   * Fixed  server crash due to some internal functions not taking into
     account that for multi-byte character sets, CHAR and VARCHAR columns
     could exceed 255 bytes. (Bug #11167 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11167))
   * Fixed a portability problem testing for crypt() support that caused
     compilation problems when using OpenSSL/yaSSL on HP-UX and Mac OS X.
     (Bug     #10675    (http://bugs.mysql.com/10675),    Bug    #11150
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/11150))
   * The    hostname    cache    was    not    working.   (Bug   #10931
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10931))
   * For a MERGE table with MyISAM tables in other, symlinked, databases,
     SHOW CREATE TABLE reported the MyISAM tables using the name of the
     symlinked  directory  rather  than  the  database name. (Bug #8183
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/8183))
   * Fixed a server crash resulting from an attempt to allocate too much
     memory when GROUP BY blob_col and COUNT(DISTINCT) were used. (Bug #11088
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/11088))
   * The incorrect sequence of statements HANDLER tbl_name READ index_name
     NEXT without a preceding HANDLER tbl_name READ index_name = (value_list)
     for an InnoDB table resulted in a server crash rather than an error.
     (Bug #5373 (http://bugs.mysql.com/5373))
   * SHOW WARNINGS with a LIMIT 0 clause returned all messages rather than an
     empty result set. (Bug #11095 (http://bugs.mysql.com/11095))
   * On Windows, with lower_case_table_names set to 2, using ALTER TABLE to
     alter  a  MEMORY  or  InnoDB table that had a mixed-case name also
     improperly   changed   the   name   to   lowercase.   (Bug   #9660
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9660))
   * The server timed out SSL connections too quickly on Windows. (Bug #8572
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/8572))
   * Inserting a DOUBLE value into a utf8 string column crashed the server on
     Windows. (Bug #10714 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10714))
   * Executing LOAD INDEX INTO CACHE for a table while other threads where
     selecting   from   the   table  caused  a  deadlock.  (Bug  #10602
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10602))
   * Fixed  a  server crash resulting from CREATE TABLE ... SELECT that
     selected  from  a  table being altered by ALTER TABLE. (Bug #10224
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10224))
   * Fixed  a  server  crash resulting from invalid string pointer when
     inserting    into    the    mysql.host    table.    (Bug    #10181
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10181))
   * GROUP_CONCAT() with DISTINCT and WITH ROLLUP ignored DISTINCT for some
     rows. (Bug #7405 (http://bugs.mysql.com/7405))
   * Fixed a problem creating the result set for a UNION that involved long
     string values. Values were not being converted correctly to TEXT values.
     (Bug #10025 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10025))
   * Locking for CREATE TABLE ... SELECT for InnoDB tables was too weak. It
     allowed INSERT statements issued for the created table while the CREATE
     TABLE statement was still running to appear in the binary log before the
     CREATE TABLE statement. (Bug #6678 (http://bugs.mysql.com/6678))
   * InnoDB: In DROP DATABASE, check for all referencing tables from other
     databases    before    dropping    any    tables.    (Bug   #10335
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10335))
   * InnoDB: Fix bug: InnoDB wrongly complained in the .err log that MySQL is
     trying to drop a non-existent table, if tablespace ran out. (Bug #10607
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10607))
   * Fixed an overly strict debugging assertion that caused debug server
     builds to fail for some col_name = const_expr, where const_expr was a
     constant    expression   such   as   a   subquery.   (Bug   #10020
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10020))
   * SUBSTR() did not work properly for input in the ucs2 character set. (Bug
     #10344 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10344))
   * Fixed a problem causing an incorrect result for columns that include an
     aggregate function as part of an expression when WITH ROLLUP is added to
     GROUP BY. (Bug #7914 (http://bugs.mysql.com/7914))
   * Fixed a server crash for INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE with MERGE
     tables,   which   do   not   have   unique  indexes.  (Bug  #10400
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10400))
   * CREATE TABLE t AS SELECT UUID() created a VARCHAR(12) column, which is
     too  small to hold the 36-character result from UUID(). (Bug #9535
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/9535))
   * Portability fix for Cygwin: Don't use #pragma interface or #pragma
     implementation      in      source      files.     (Bug     #10241
     (http://bugs.mysql.com/10241))
   * Fixed a mysqldump crash that occurred with the --complete-insert option
     when dumping tables with a large number of long column names. (Bug
     #10286 (http://bugs.mysql.com/10286))
   * ALTER  TABLE  ... ENABLE INDEXES treated NULL values as equal when
     collecting index statistics for MyISAM tables, resulting in different
     statistics than generated by ANALYZE TABLE and causing the optimizer to
     make poor index choices later. The same problem occurred for bulk insert
     statistics collection. Now NULL values are treated as unequal, just as
     for ANALYZE TABLE. (Bug #9622 (http://bugs.mysql.com/9622))

Additional Notes:

   * The Novell Netware binaries are work in progress and will be published as 
soon
     as they have been finished.
   * The Linux/s390 binaries could not be built due to temporary technical 
problems.
     They will be provided as soon as these have been resolved.
