Hi!

This release mainly removes some of the old limits for InnoDB tables.

We have already moved most development to 4.0 and plan to release 4.0-alpha
by to the end of this month or at the start of September.

Changes in release 3.23.41
--------------------------
 
   * Added option `--sql-mode=option[,option[,option]]'.  *Note
     Command-line options::.
 
   * Fixed possible problem with `shutdown' on Solaris where the `.pid'
     file wasn't deleted.
 
   * InnoDB now supports < 4 GB rows. The former limit was 8000 bytes.
 
   * The `doublewrite' file flush method is used in InnoDB.  It reduces
     the need for Unix fsync calls to a fraction and improves
     performance on most Unix flavors.
 
   * You can now use the InnoDB Monitor to print a lot of InnoDB state
     information, including locks, to the standard output; useful in
     performance tuning.
 
   * Several bugs which could cause hangs in InnoDB have been fixed.
 
   * Split `record_buffer' to `record_buffer' and `record_rnd_buffer'.
     To make things compatible to previous MySQL versions, if
     `record_rnd_buffer' is not set, then it takes the value of
     `record_buffer'.
 
   * Fixed optimizing bug in `ORDER BY' where some `ORDER BY' parts
     where wrongly removed.
 
   * Fixed overflow bug with `ALTER TABLE' and `MERGE' tables.
 
   * Added prototypes for `my_thread_init()' and `my_thread_end()' to
     `mysql_com.h'
 
   * Added option `--safe-user-create' to `mysqld'.
 
   * Fixed bug in `SELECT DISTINCT ... HAVING' that casued error message
     `Can't find record in '#..

Regards,
Monty
