Dear MySQL users,

MySQL Community Server 5.0.81, a new version of the popular Open Source
Database Management System, has been released. This release of the MySQL Community Server is based on the MySQL Enterprise Server 5.0.80 code base. Future releases in the MySQL Community Server 5.0 release series will share version numbers with their corresponding MySQL Enterprise Server counterparts.

The release is now available in source and binary form for a number of platforms from our download pages at

  http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

and mirror sites.  Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at
this point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror,
please try again later or choose another download site.

We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes,
patches etc.:

  http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Contributing

Please note that we have dropped support for AIX 5.2 as of April 30th as the platform has reached vendor EOL, and this is the last release of MySQL 5.0 to include binaries for that platform.

The following section lists important, incompatible and security
changes since the previous (binary) MySQL Community Server 5.0.77
release.  The full changelog including many more fixes can be viewed
online at

  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/releasenotes-cs-5-0-81.html

This is a bugfix release for the current production release
family.  It replaces MySQL 5.0.77.

Functionality added or changed:

     * Security Enhancement: To enable stricter control over the
       location from which user-defined functions can be loaded,
       the plugin_dir system variable has been backported from
       MySQL 5.1. If the value is non-empty, user-defined
       function object files can be loaded only from the
       directory named by this variable. If the value is empty,
       the behavior that is used prior to the inclusion of
       plugin_dir applies: The UDF object files must be located
       in a directory that is searched by your system's dynamic
       linker. (Bug#37428: http://bugs.mysql.com/37428)

     * A new status variable, Queries, indicates the number of
       statements executed by the server. This includes
       statements executed within stored programs, unlike the
       Questions variable which includes only statements sent to
       the server by clients.
       (Bug#41131: http://bugs.mysql.com/41131)

     * Previously, index hints did not work for FULLTEXT
       searches. Now they work as follows:
       For natural language mode searches, index hints are
       silently ignored. For example, IGNORE INDEX(i) is ignored
       with no warning and the index is still used.
       For boolean mode searches, index hints are honored.
       (Bug#38842: http://bugs.mysql.com/38842)

   Bugs fixed:

     * Important Change: Security Fix: Additional corrections
       were made for the symlink-related privilege problem
       originally addressed in MySQL 5.0.60. The original fix
       did not correctly handle the data directory path name if
       it contained symlinked directories in its path, and the
       check was made only at table-creation time, not at
       table-opening time later.
       (Bug#32167: http://bugs.mysql.com/32167, CVE-2008-2079
       (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-2
       079))
       See also Bug#39277: http://bugs.mysql.com/39277.

     * Security Enhancement: The server consumed excess memory
       while parsing statements with hundreds or thousands of
       nested boolean conditions (such as OR (OR ... (OR ...
       ))). This could lead to a server crash or incorrect
       statement execution, or cause other client statements to
       fail due to lack of memory. The latter result constitutes
       a denial of service.
       (Bug#38296: http://bugs.mysql.com/38296)

     * Incompatible Change: There were some problems using
       DllMain() hook functions on Windows that automatically do
       global and per-thread initialization for libmysqld.dll:

          + Per-thread initialization: MySQL internally counts
            the number of active threads, which causes a delay
            in my_end() if not all threads have exited. But
            there are threads that can be started either by
            Windows internally (often in TCP/IP scenarios) or by
            users. Those threads do not necessarily use
            libmysql.dll functionality but still contribute to
            the open-thread count. (One symptom is a five-second
            delay in times for PHP scripts to finish.)

          + Process-initialization: my_init() calls WSAStartup
            that itself loads DLLs and can lead to a deadlock in
            the Windows loader.
       To correct these problems, DLL initialization code now is
       not invoked from libmysql.dll by default. To obtain the
       previous behavior (DLL initialization code will be
       called), set the LIBMYSQL_DLLINIT environment variable to
       any value. This variable exists only to prevent breakage
       of existing Windows-only applications that do not call
       mysql_thread_init() and work okay today. Use of
       LIBMYSQL_DLLINIT is discouraged and is removed in MySQL
       6.0. (Bug#37226: http://bugs.mysql.com/37226,
       Bug#33031: http://bugs.mysql.com/33031)

     * Incompatible Change: SHOW STATUS took a lot of CPU time
       for calculating the value of the
       Innodb_buffer_pool_pages_latched status variable. Now
       this variable is calculated and included in the output of
       SHOW STATUS only if the UNIV_DEBUG symbol is defined at
       MySQL build time.
       (Bug#36600: http://bugs.mysql.com/36600)

     * Incompatible Change: In connection with view creation,
       the server created arc directories inside database
       directories and maintained useless copies of .frm files
       there. Creation and renaming procedures of those copies
       as well as creation of arc directories has been
       discontinued.
       This change does cause a problem when downgrading to
       older server versions which manifests itself under these
       circumstances:

         1. Create a view v_orig in MySQL 5.0.72 or higher.

         2. Rename the view to v_new and then back to v_orig.

         3. Downgrade to an older 5.0.x server and run
            mysql_upgrade.

         4. Try to rename v_orig to v_new again. This operation
            fails.
       As a workaround to avoid this problem, use either of
       these approaches:

          + Dump your data using mysqldump before downgrading
            and reload the dump file after downgrading.

          + Instead of renaming a view after the downgrade, drop
            it and recreate it.
       The downgrade problem introduced by the fix for this bug
       has been addressed as

       (Bug#17823: http://bugs.mysql.com/17823)

     * Replication: When rotating relay log files, the slave
       deletes relay log files and then edits the relay log
       index file. Formerly, if the slave shut down unexpectedly
       between these two events, the relay log index file could
       then reference relay logs that no longer existed.
       Depending on the circumstances, this could when
       restarting the slave cause either a race condition or the
       failure of replication.

     * In example option files provided in MySQL distributions,
       the thread_stack value was increased from 64K to 128K.
       (Bug#41577: http://bugs.mysql.com/41577)

     * SET PASSWORD caused a server crash if the account name
       was given as CURRENT_USER().
       (Bug#41456: http://bugs.mysql.com/41456)

     * The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.SCHEMA_PRIVILEGES table was
       limited to 7680 rows.
       (Bug#41079: http://bugs.mysql.com/41079)

     * In debug builds, obsolete debug code could be used to
       crash the server.
       (Bug#41041: http://bugs.mysql.com/41041)

     * CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE did not check for
       incompatible collation changes made in MySQL 5.0.48
       (Bug#27562: http://bugs.mysql.com/27562,
       Bug#29461: http://bugs.mysql.com/29461,
       Bug#29499: http://bugs.mysql.com/29499). This also
       affects mysqlcheck and mysql_upgrade, which cause that
       statement to be executed. See Section 2.18.3, "Checking
       Whether Table Indexes Must Be Rebuilt."
       (Bug#40984: http://bugs.mysql.com/40984)
       See also Bug#39585: http://bugs.mysql.com/39585.

     * Some queries that used a "range checked for each record"
       scan could return incorrect results.
       (Bug#40974: http://bugs.mysql.com/40974)

     * Certain SELECT queries could fail with a Duplicate entry
       error. (Bug#40953: http://bugs.mysql.com/40953)

     * The FEDERATED handler had a memory leak.
       (Bug#40875: http://bugs.mysql.com/40875)

     * IF(..., CAST(longtext_val AS UNSIGNED), signed_val) as an
       argument to an aggregate function could cause an
       assertion failure.
       (Bug#40761: http://bugs.mysql.com/40761)

     * Prepared statements allowed invalid dates to be inserted
       when the ALLOW_INVALID_DATES SQL mode was not enabled.
       (Bug#40365: http://bugs.mysql.com/40365)

     * mc.exe is no longer needed to compile MySQL on Windows.
       This makes it possible to build MySQL from source using
       Visual Studio Express 2008.
       (Bug#40280: http://bugs.mysql.com/40280)

     * Support for the revision field in .frm files has been
       removed. This addresses the downgrading problem
       introduced by the fix for
       Bug#17823: http://bugs.mysql.com/17823.
       (Bug#40021: http://bugs.mysql.com/40021)

     * If the operating system is configured to return leap
       seconds from OS time calls or if the MySQL server uses a
       time zone definition that has leap seconds, functions
       such as NOW() could return a value having a time part
       that ends with :59:60 or :59:61. If such values are
       inserted into a table, they would be dumped as is by
       mysqldump but considered invalid when reloaded, leading
       to backup/restore problems.
       Now leap second values are returned with a time part that
       ends with :59:59. This means that a function such as
       NOW() can return the same value for two or three
       consecutive seconds during the leap second. It remains
       true that literal temporal values having a time part that
       ends with :59:60 or :59:61 are considered invalid.
       For additional details about leap-second handling, see
       Section 9.7.2, "Time Zone Leap Second Support."
       (Bug#39920: http://bugs.mysql.com/39920)

     * The server could crash during a sort-order optimization
       of a dependent subquery.
       (Bug#39844: http://bugs.mysql.com/39844)

     * With the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY SQL mode enabled, the check
       for non-aggregated columns in queries with aggregate
       functions, but without a GROUP BY clause was treating all
       the parts of the query as if they were in the select
       list. This is fixed by ignoring the non-aggregated
       columns in the WHERE clause.
       (Bug#39656: http://bugs.mysql.com/39656)

     * The server crashed if an integer field in a CSV file did
       not have delimiting quotes.
       (Bug#39616: http://bugs.mysql.com/39616)

     * CHECK TABLE failed for MyISAM INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables.
       (Bug#39541: http://bugs.mysql.com/39541)

     * InnoDB could hang trying to open an adaptive hash index.
       (Bug#39483: http://bugs.mysql.com/39483)

     * For a TIMESTAMP column in an InnoDB table, testing the
       column with multiple conditions in the WHERE clause
       caused a server crash.
       (Bug#39353: http://bugs.mysql.com/39353)

     * The server returned a column type of VARBINARY rather
       than DATE as the result from the COALESCE(), IFNULL(),
       IF(), GREATEST(), or LEAST() functions or CASE expression
       if the result was obtained using filesort in an anonymous
       temporary table during the query execution.
       (Bug#39283: http://bugs.mysql.com/39283)

     * References to local variables in stored procedures are
       replaced with NAME_CONST(name, value) when written to the
       binary log. However, an "illegal mix of collation" error
       might occur when executing the log contents if the
       value's collation differed from that of the variable. Now
       information about the variable collation is written as
       well. (Bug#39182: http://bugs.mysql.com/39182)

     * Some recent releases for Solaris 10 were built on Solaris
       10 U5, which included a new version of libnsl.so that
       does not work on U4 or earlier. To correct this, Solaris
       10 builds now are created on machines that do not have
       that upgraded libnsl.so, so that they will work on
       Solaris 10 installations both with and without the
       upgraded libnsl.so.

     * Statements of the form INSERT ... SELECT .. ON DUPLICATE
       KEY UPDATE col_name = DEFAULT could result in a server
       crash. (Bug#39002: http://bugs.mysql.com/39002)

     * Column names constructed due to wild-card expansion done
       inside a stored procedure could point to freed memory if
       the expansion was performed after the first call to the
       stored procedure.
       (Bug#38823: http://bugs.mysql.com/38823)

     * Repeated CREATE TABLE ... SELECT statements, where the
       created table contained an AUTO_INCREMENT column, could
       lead to an assertion failure.
       (Bug#38821: http://bugs.mysql.com/38821)

     * If delayed insert failed to upgrade the lock, it did not
       free the temporary memory storage used to keep newly
       constructed BLOB values in memory, resulting in a memory
       leak. (Bug#38693: http://bugs.mysql.com/38693)

     * A server crash resulted from concurrent execution of a
       multiple-table UPDATE that used a NATURAL or USING join
       together with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK or ALTER TABLE
       for the table being updated.
       (Bug#38691: http://bugs.mysql.com/38691)

       (Bug#36149: http://bugs.mysql.com/36149)

     * Host name values in SQL statements were not being checked
       for '@', which is illegal according to RFC952.
       (Bug#35924: http://bugs.mysql.com/35924)

     * The UUID() function returned UUIDs with the wrong time;
       this was because the offset for the time part in UUIDs
       was miscalculated.
       (Bug#35848: http://bugs.mysql.com/35848)

     * SHOW CREATE TABLE did not display a printable value for
       the default value of BIT columns.
       (Bug#35796: http://bugs.mysql.com/35796)

     * mysql_install_db failed on machines that had the host
       name set to localhost.
       (Bug#35754: http://bugs.mysql.com/35754)

     * Dynamic plugins failed to load on i5/OS.
       (Bug#35743: http://bugs.mysql.com/35743)

     * Freeing of an internal parser stack during parsing of
       complex stored programs caused a server crash.
       (Bug#35577: http://bugs.mysql.com/35577,
       Bug#37269: http://bugs.mysql.com/37269,
       Bug#37228: http://bugs.mysql.com/37228)

     * The max_length metadata value was calculated incorrectly
       for the FORMAT() function, which could cause incorrect
       result set metadata to be sent to clients.
       (Bug#35558: http://bugs.mysql.com/35558)

     * Index scans performed with the sort_union() access method
       returned wrong results, caused memory to be leaked, and
       caused temporary files to be deleted when the limit set
       by sort_buffer_size was reached.
       (Bug#35477: http://bugs.mysql.com/35477,
       Bug#35478: http://bugs.mysql.com/35478)

     * If the server crashed with an InnoDB error due to
       unavailability of undo slots, errors could persist during
       rollback when the server was restarted: There are two
       UNDO slot caches (for INSERT and UPDATE). If all slots
       end up in one of the slot caches, a request for a slot
       from the other slot cache would fail. This can happen if
       the request is for an UPDATE slot and all slots are in
       the INSERT slot cache, or vice versa.
       (Bug#35352: http://bugs.mysql.com/35352)

     * For InnoDB tables, ALTER TABLE DROP failed if the name of
       the column to be dropped began with "foreign".
       (Bug#35220: http://bugs.mysql.com/35220)

     * perror on Windows did not know about Win32 system error
       codes. (Bug#34825: http://bugs.mysql.com/34825)

     * EXPLAIN EXTENDED evaluation of aggregate functions that
       required a temporary table caused a server crash.
       (Bug#34773: http://bugs.mysql.com/34773)

     * Queries of the form SELECT ... WHERE string = ANY(...)
       failed when the server used a single-byte character set
       and the client used a multi-byte character set.
       (Bug#34760: http://bugs.mysql.com/34760)
       See also Bug#20835: http://bugs.mysql.com/20835.

     * Using OPTIMIZE TABLE as the first statement on an InnoDB
       table with an AUTO_INCREMENT column could cause a server
       crash. (Bug#34286: http://bugs.mysql.com/34286)

     * mysql_install_db failed if the server was running with an
       SQL mode of TRADITIONAL. This program now resets the SQL
       mode internally to avoid this problem.
       (Bug#34159: http://bugs.mysql.com/34159)

     * Changes to build files were made to enable the MySQL
       distribution to compile on Microsoft Visual C++ Express

     * The mysql client incorrectly parsed statements containing
       the word "delimiter" in mid-statement.
       This fix is different from the one applied for this bug
       in MySQL 5.0.66. (Bug#33812: http://bugs.mysql.com/33812)
       See also Bug#38158: http://bugs.mysql.com/38158.

     * For a stored procedure containing a SELECT * ... RIGHT
       JOIN query, execution failed for the second call.
       (Bug#33811: http://bugs.mysql.com/33811)

     * Previously, use of index hints with views (which do not
       have indexes) produced the error ERROR 1221 (HY000):
       Incorrect usage of USE/IGNORE INDEX and VIEW. Now this
       produces ERROR 1176 (HY000): Key '...' doesn't exist in
       table '...', the same error as for base tables without an
       appropriate index.
       (Bug#33461: http://bugs.mysql.com/33461)

     * Cached queries that used 256 or more tables were not
       properly cached, so that later query invalidation due to
       a TRUNCATE TABLE for one of the tables caused the server
       to hang. (Bug#33362: http://bugs.mysql.com/33362)

     * Some division operations produced a result with incorrect
       precision. (Bug#31616: http://bugs.mysql.com/31616)

     * mysqldump could fail to dump views containing a large
       number of columns.
       (Bug#31434: http://bugs.mysql.com/31434)

     * Queries executed using join buffering of BIT columns
       could produce incorrect results.
       (Bug#31399: http://bugs.mysql.com/31399)

     * ALTER TABLE CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET did not convert
       TINYTEXT or MEDIUMTEXT columns to a longer text type if
       necessary when converting the column to a different
       character set. (Bug#31291: http://bugs.mysql.com/31291)

     * For installation on Solaris using pkgadd packages, the
       mysql_install_db script was generated in the scripts
       directory, but the temporary files used during the
       process were left there and not deleted.
       (Bug#31052: http://bugs.mysql.com/31052)

     * Several MySQL programs could fail if the HOME environment
       variable had an empty value.
       (Bug#30394: http://bugs.mysql.com/30394)

     * On NetWare, mysql_install_db could appear to execute
       normally even if it failed to create the initial
       databases. (Bug#30129: http://bugs.mysql.com/30129)

     * The Serbian translation for the
       ER_INCORRECT_GLOBAL_LOCAL_VAR error was corrected.
       (Bug#29738: http://bugs.mysql.com/29738)

     * XA transaction rollbacks could result in corrupted
       transaction states and a server crash.
       (Bug#28323: http://bugs.mysql.com/28323)

     * The BUILD/check-cpu build script failed if gcc had a
       different name (such as gcc.real on Debian).
       (Bug#27526: http://bugs.mysql.com/27526)

     * On Windows, Visual Studio does not take into account some
       x86 hardware limitations, which led to incorrect results
       converting large DOUBLE values to unsigned BIGINT values.
       (Bug#27483: http://bugs.mysql.com/27483)

     * SSL support was not included in some "generic" RPM
       packages. (Bug#26760: http://bugs.mysql.com/26760)

     * In some cases, the parser interpreted the ; character as
       the end of input and misinterpreted stored program
       definitions. (Bug#26030: http://bugs.mysql.com/26030)

     * The Questions status variable is intended as a count of
       statements sent by clients to the server, but was also
       counting statements executed within stored routines.
       (Bug#24289: http://bugs.mysql.com/24289)

     * For access to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.VIEWS table, the
       server did not check the SHOW VIEW and SELECT privileges,
       leading to inconsistency between output from that table
       and the SHOW CREATE VIEW statement.
       (Bug#22763: http://bugs.mysql.com/22763)

     * The FLUSH PRIVILEGES statement did not produce an error
       when it failed. (Bug#21226: http://bugs.mysql.com/21226)

       Windows service manager could lead to inability to stop
       the server from the service manager.
       (Bug#20430: http://bugs.mysql.com/20430)

     * mysqld_safe would sometimes fail to remove the pid file
       for the old mysql process after a crash. As a result, the
       server would fail to start due to a false A mysqld
       process already exists... error.
