MySQL Change History
********************

This appendix lists the changes from version to version in the MySQL
source code.

& 5.0 and will only provide
critical bug fixes for MySQL 4.0 and MySQL 3.23.  We update this section
as we add new features, so that everybody can follow the development.

Our TODO section contains what further plans we have for 4.1 & 5.0.
*Note TODO::.

Note that we tend to update the manual at the same time we make changes
to MySQL.  If you find a version listed here that you can't find on the
MySQL download page (`http://www.mysql.com/downloads/'), this means
that the version has not yet been released!

The date mentioned with a release version is the date of the last
BitKeeper ChangeSet that this particular release has been based on, not
the date when the packages have been made available. The binaries are
usually made available a few days after the date of the tagged
ChangeSet - building and testing all packages takes some time.

Changes in release 5.0.0 (Development)
======================================

For the time being, version 5.0 is only available in source code.
*Note Installing source tree::.

The following changelog shows what has already been done in the 5.0
tree:

   * Added `SELECT INTO list_of_vars', which can be of mixed, that is,
     global and local type.
