Hi,

MySQL 3.23.53, the world's most popular Open Source Database, has been
released. It is now available in source and binary form for a number of
platforms from our download pages at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and
mirror sites.

This is a bugfix release for the current stable tree.

- From the changelog:

 o Fixed crash when SHOW INNODB STATUS was used and skip-innodb was defined.
 o Fixed possible memory corruption bug in binary log file handling when
   slave rotated the logs (only affected 3.23, not 4.0).
 o Fixed problem in LOCK TABLES on windows when one connects to a database
   that contains upper case letters.
 o Fixed that --skip-show-databases doesn't reset the --port option.
 o Small fix in safe_mysqld for some shells.
 o Fixed that FLUSH STATUS doesn't reset Delayed_insert_threads.
 o Fixed core dump bug when using the BINARY cast on a NULL value.
 o Fixed race condition when someone did a GRANT at the same time a new user
   logged in or did a USE DATABASE.
 o Fixed bug in ALTER TABLE and RENAME TABLE when running with
   -O lower_case_table_names=1 (typically on windows) when giving the
   table name in uppercase.
 o Fixed that -O lower_case_table_names=1 also converts database names to
   lower case.
 o Fixed unlikely core dump with SELECT ... ORDER BY ... LIMIT.
 o Changed AND/OR to report that they can return NULL. This fixes a bug in
   GROUP BY on AND/OR expressions that return NULL.
 o Fixed a bug that OPTIMIZE of locked and modified MyISAM table, reported
   table corruption.
 o Fixed a BDB-related ALTER TABLE bug with dropping a column and shutting
   down immediately thereafter.
 o Fixed problem with configure ... --localstatedir=....
 o Fixed problem with UNSIGNED BIGINT on AIX (again).
 o Fixed bug in pthread_mutex_trylock() on HPUX 11.0.
 o Multithreaded stress tests for InnoDB.

Additional notes regarding the binary packages:

 - We've hopefully fixed the problem with spurious load spikes on Linux
   systems when accessing the Database via TCP/IP. This was caused by the
   static glibc files we used to link against and should now be resolved.
 - For the time being, we had to disable Berkeley DB (BDB) in the Max binaries.
   If you require BDB support, please stick with 3.23.52 or recompile.
 - Due to a hardware failure, our Solaris 2.8 build host is currently down. We 
   will add the missing binary as soon as we have revived the system.
 - Our Mac OS X build host has now been updated to Mac OS 10.2 aka "Jaguar"
   Therefore, this binary will most likely not work on older Mac OS X
   versions due to library incompatibilities. We will try to resolve this
   issue for the next release.

Have fun,

        LenZ
