4.0 is in its alpha state. 4.0.0 is the first alpha release, and 4.0.1 the
second and so on. It is, IMO, essential to give every release its own
identifier, so that when a bug is reported you can say "that was fixed in
4.0.2" rather than "that was fixed in last thursdays release". However many
fields you have in your version number, the last must change for every
individual release, be it alpha, beta or full. Release numbers don't cost
money, so we can be prodigal with them if it aids clarity.

Re: MySQL 4.0 updated?

Hi,

I think MySQL 4.0.0 is in it's alpha state.

Wouldn't it be more right to get a 4.0.0 beta and several release candidates than a 
4.0.1 version?

Best regards
Bernhard

When a new version is available it will have a new version number. The 
current version is 4.0.0 but there will almost certainly be a 4.0.1 
soon. If you look at the change history in the documentation, there have 
already been changes put into 4.0.0.

If you need quicker access to changes, you can download the source code 
from the bitkeeper tree which changes more frequently.

MySQL 4.0 updated?

2001-11-08 Thread Mark Maunder

Hi,

Is MySQL 4.0 Alpha updated periodically with bugfixes? i.e. Is it worth
periodically re-downloading and re-installing MySQL 4.0 to ensure I have
the most stable version?

tnx,

~Mark.
