For a long time, we've been recording changes to MySQL software in the Change History section of the MySQL Reference Manual. People familiar with the MySQL server will probably enjoy looking at the first change history section from July 1999, http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/news-3-23-0.html.
The current production (GA) version of MySQL is 5.0. Until recently, changes to MySQL 5.0 were recorded here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/news.html. This has changed. For MySQL 5.0 (and currently only for that version), we have two separate offerings now: - MySQL Enterprise is MySQL AB's commercial offering for modern enterprise businesses. It includes MySQL Enterprise Server and the services provided by MySQL Network. - MySQL Community Server is for users who are comfortable configuring and administering MySQL by themselves. To make it easier for users of MySQL Enterprise and for users of MySQL Community Server to track changes in the software, we've split up the change history into two separate appendices now: Appendix E, MySQL Enterprise Release Notes, lists the changes from version to version in MySQL Enterprise Server, divided into sections for the following release packs; see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/releasenotes-es.html: - Rapid Update Service Packs are issued once a month and incorporate all the bug fixes and security updates introduced since the previous MySQL Enterprise Server release. - Quarterly Service Packs are issued each quarter and incorporate all the bug fixes and security updates introduced since the previous MySQL Enterprise Server release. - Hot-fix releases incorporate fixes for bugs that caused significant issues that are not released as part of a Service Pack. Appendix F, MySQL Community Server Release Notes, lists the changes from version to version in MySQL Community Server; see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/releasenotes-cs.html. The Release Notes are updated as bugs are fixed and features are incorporated, so that everybody can follow the development process.
