Hi Jim, all !

Is there any kind of timetable for when 5.1 is actually expected to be
released?
Sorry, no - there cannot be any firm "expectation" yet, and consequently
no "timetable".
Different people have different *hopes* when that may be, but these
personal estimates will be made concrete only by facts and experiences.
Consider the following parts of Kaj's blog / mail you quoted:
[[...]] We still have some fatal runtime bugs left. We are
producing an errata list of these, and expect to have the list ready and
published on by 23 Oct 2007. [[...]]
Only when this list is available and all its elements have been judged,
we will have a full (but only momentary) overview of what still needs to
be done.
That said, 5.1.22 is a great release, one that we're proud of, and very
likely worthy of your attention!
So for the MySQL development to bring 5.1 to a true "GA" status, we
really need and appreciate your help and feedback,
be it bug reports (we sure hope only few ones, but who knows ?)
or (positive ?) messages like
"I used feature X with the Y amount of data and Z of
users/transactions and had these experiences: ...".
Regardless of how much we improve and strengthen our own QA, it will
never be able to fully mimic the ideas/workload/diversity of our users.
Any such feedback, be it negative or (hopefully !) positive, will make
that overview more exact and complete.
Regards,
Joerg
