This is the first 4.1 production release.
Please refer to our bugs database at http://bugs.mysql.com/ for more
details about the individual bugs fixed in this version.
News from the ChangeLog:
Changes in release 4.1.7
Functionality added or changed:
* InnoDB: Made LOCK TABLES behave by default like it did before
MySQL 4.0.20 or 4.1.2: no InnoDB lock will be taken. Added a
startup option and settable system variable innodb_table_locks for
making LOCK TABLE acquire also InnoDB locks. See section
Restrictions on InnoDB Tables in the manual.
(Bug #3299, Bug #5998)
Bugs fixed:
* Fixed a bug with FOUND_ROWS() used together with LIMIT clause in
prepared statements. (Bug #6088)
* Fixed a bug with NATURAL JOIN in prepared statements. (Bug #6046).
* Fixed a bug in join of tables from different databases having
columns with identical names (prepared statements). (Bug #6050)
* Now implicit access to system time zone description tables (which
happens when you set time_zone variable or use CONVERT_TZ()
function) does not require any privileges. (Bug #6116)
* Fixed a bug which caused the server to crash when the deprecated
libmysqlclient function mysql_create_db() was called. (Bug #6081)
* Fixed REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES, GRANT OPTION FROM user so that all
privileges are revoked correctly. (Bug #5831). This corrects a
case that the fix in 4.1.6 could miss.
* Fixed a bug that could cause MyISAM index corruption when key
values start with character codes below BLANK. This was caused by
the new key sort order in 4.1. (Bug #6151)
* Fixed a bug in the prepared statements protocol when wrong
metadata was sent for SELECT statements not returning a result set
(such as SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE). (Bug #6059)
* Fixed bug which allowed one to circumvent missing UPDATE privilege
if one had INSERT and SELECT privileges for table with primary key.
(Bug #6173)
* Fixed a bug in libmysqlclient with wrong conversion of negative
time values to strings. (Bug #6049).
* Fixed a bug in libmysqlclient with wrong conversion of zero date
values (-00-00) to strings. (Bug #6058)
* Fixed a bug that caused the server to crash on attempt to prepare
a statement with RAND(?). (Bug #5985)
* Fixed a bug with handling of DATE, TIME, and DATETIME columns in
the binary protocol. The problem is compiler-specific and could
have been observed on HP-UX, AIX, Solaris9, when compiling with
native compiler. (Bug #6025)
* Fixed a bug with handling of TINYINT columns in the binary
protocol. The problem is specific to platforms where the C
compiler has the char data type unsigned by default. (Bug #6024)
* Fixed problem introduced in MySQL 4.0.21 where a connection
starting a transaction, doing updates, then FLUSH TABLES WITH READ
LOCK, then COMMIT, would cause replication slaves to stop
complaining about error 1223. Bug surfaced when using the InnoDB
innobackup script. (Bug #5949)
Enjoy!
