http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-18.html

以下は、追加または変更された機能です。

Functionality added or changed:
   * Incompatible change: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.EVENTS and
     mysql.event tables have been changed to facilitate replication
     of events. When upgrading to MySQL 5.1.18, you must run
     mysql_upgrade prior to working with events. Until you have
     done so, any statement relating to the Event Scheduler or
     these tables (including SHOW EVENTS) will fail with the errors
     Expected field status at position 12 to have type enum
     ('ENABLED','SLAVESIDE_DISABLED','DISABLED'), found
     enum('ENABLED','DISABLED') and Table mysql.event is damaged.
     Can not open.
     These changes were made as part of fixes for the following
     bugs:
        + The effects of scheduled events were not replicated (that
          is, binary logging of scheduled events did not work).
          (Bug#16421:http://bugs.mysql.com/16421,
         Bug#17857:http://bugs.mysql.com/17857)
        + Effects of scheduled events on a replication master were
          both replicated and executed on the slave, causing double
          execution of events.
          (Bug#20384:http://bugs.mysql.com/20384)
        + CREATE FUNCTION statements and their effects were not
          replicated correctly.
          (Bug#17671:http://bugs.mysql.com/17671)
     For more information, see Section 6.3.1.4, "Replication of
     Invoked Features."
   * The plugin interface and its handling of server variables was
     changed:
     Command line options such as '--skip-innodb' will now cause an error
     if InnoDB is not built-in/plugin-loaded. Users should use
     '--loose-skip-innodb' if they do not want any error even if InnoDB
     is not available. The 'loose' prefix modifier should be used for all
     command line options where the user is uncertain if the plugin
     exists and where they want operation to proceed even if the option
     is neccessarily ignored due to the absence of the plugin.
   * New command line options: In order to alleviate ambiguities in
     variable names, all variables related to plugins can be specified
     using a 'plugin' part in the name. For example, every time where we
     used to have 'innodb' in the command-line options, one can now write
     'plugin-innodb':
          --skip-plugin-innodb
          --plugin-innodb-buffer-pool-size=#
     Furthermore, this is the preferred syntax. It helps to avoid
     ambiguities when a plugin, say, "wait", has an options called
     "timeout".  '--wait-timeout' will still set a server variable, but
     '--plugin-wait-timeout' will set the plugin variable.
     Also, there is a new command line option '--plugin-load' to
     install/load plugins at initialization time without using the
     mysql.plugin table.
   * Storage engine plugins may now be uninstalled at run time - however,
     a plugin is not actually uninstalled until after its reference
     count drops to zero. The 'default_storage_engine' server variable
     consumes a reference count, so uninstalling will not complete until
     said reference is removed.
   * The output of mysql --xml and mysqldump --xml now includes a
     valid XML namespace. (Bug#25946:http://bugs.mysql.com/25946)
   * The mysql_create_system_tables script was removed because
     mysql_install_db no longer uses it in MySQL 5.1.
   * Renamed the old_mode system variable to old.
   * If you use SSL for a client connection, you can tell the
     client not to authenticate the server certificate by
     specifying neither --ssl-ca nor --ssl-capath. The server still
     verifies the client according to any applicable requirements
     established via GRANT statements for the client, and it still
     uses any --ssl-ca/--ssl-capath values that were passed to
     server at startup time.
     (Bug#25309:http://bugs.mysql.com/25309)
   * Added a MASTER_SSL_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT option for the CHANGE
     MASTER statement, and a Master_SSL_Verify_Server_Cert output
     column to the SHOW SLAVE STATUS statement. The option value
     also is written to the master.info file.
     (Bug#19991:http://bugs.mysql.com/19991)
   * NDB Cluster (APIs): The MGM API now supports explicit setting
     of network timeouts using the ndb_mgm_set_timeout() function.
     A utility function ndb_mgm_number_of_mgmd_in_connect_string()
     is also implemented to facilitate calculation of timeouts
     based on the number of management servers in the cluster.
     For more information, see ndb_mgm_set_timeout()
     (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ndbapi/en/ndb-mgm-set-timeout.html),
     and ndb_mgm_number_of_mgmd_in_connect_string()
     (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ndbapi/en/ndb-mgm-number-of-mgmd-in-
     connect-string.html).
   * NDB Cluster: The behavior of the ndb_restore utility has been
     changed as follows:
        + It is now possible to restore selected databases or
          tables using ndb_restore.
          (Bug#26899:http://bugs.mysql.com/26899)
        + Several options have been added for use with ndb_restore
          --print_data to facilitate the creation of structured
          data dump files. These options can be used to make dumps
          made using ndb_restore more like those produced by
          mysqldump. (Bug#26900:http://bugs.mysql.com/26900)
     For details of these changes, see Section 15.9.3, "ndb_restore
     --- Restore a Cluster Backup."
   * NDB Cluster (Replication)/Incompatible Change: The definition
     of the mysql.ndb_apply_status table has changed such that an
     online upgrade is not possible from MySQL 5.1.17 or earlier
     for a replication slave cluster; you must shut down all SQL
     nodes as part of the upgrade procedure. See Section 15.6.2,
     "Cluster Upgrade and Downgrade Compatibility" before upgrading
     for details.
     For more information about the changes to
     mysql.ndb_apply_status see Section 15.11.4, "Cluster
     Replication Schema and Tables."
   * NDB Cluster (Replication): Some circular replication setups
     are now supported for MySQL Cluster. See Section 15.11.3,
     "Known Issues," for detailed information.
     (Bug#25688:http://bugs.mysql.com/25688,
    Bug#17095:http://bugs.mysql.com/17095)
   * NDB Cluster: The following changes were made for the
     ndb_size.pl utility:
        + When ndb_size.pl calculates a value for a given
          configuration parameter that is less than the default
          value, it now suggests the default value instead.
          (Bug#24227:http://bugs.mysql.com/24227)
        + The dependency on HTML::Template was removed.
          (Bug#24228:http://bugs.mysql.com/24228)
   * Several additional data types are supported for columns in
     INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables: DATE, TIME, BLOB, FLOAT, and all
     integer types. (Bug#27047:http://bugs.mysql.com/27047)
   * NDB Cluster: The internal specifications for columns in NDB
     tables has changed to allow compatibility with future MySQL
     Cluster releases that are expected to implement online adding
     and dropping of columns. This change is not backwards
     compatible with earlier MySQL versions.
     See [1]the related note in Section 15.6.2, "Cluster Upgrade
     and Downgrade Compatibility," for important information prior
     to upgrading a MySQL Cluster to MySQL 5.1.18 or later from
     MySQL 5.1.17 or earlier.
     See alsoBug#28205:http://bugs.mysql.com/28205.
   * If a set function S with an outer reference S(outer_ref)
     cannot be aggregated in the outer query against which the
     outer reference has been resolved, MySQL interprets
     S(outer_ref) the same way that it would interpret S(const).
     However, standard SQL requires throwing an error in this
     situation. An error now is thrown for such queries if the ANSI
     SQL mode is enabled. (Bug#27348:http://bugs.mysql.com/27348)

Bugs fixed:
   * Security fix: If a stored routine was declared using SQL
     SECURITY INVOKER, a user who invoked the routine could gain
     privileges. (Bug#27337:http://bugs.mysql.com/27337)
   * Security fix: The requirement of the DROP privilege for RENAME
     TABLE was not being enforced.
     (Bug#27515:http://bugs.mysql.com/27515)
   * Security fix: A user with only the ALTER privilege on a
     partitioned table could obtain information about the table
     that should require the SELECT privilege.
     (Bug#23675:http://bugs.mysql.com/23675)
   * The patches forBug#19370:http://bugs.mysql.com/19370and
    Bug#21789:http://bugs.mysql.com/21789were reverted.
   * ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE failed for a table partitioned by KEY
     on a primary key VARCHAR column.
     (Bug#27123:http://bugs.mysql.com/27123)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): It was possible to drop the last
     remaining datafile in a tablespace (using an ALTER TABLESPACE
     statement), even though there was still an empty table using
     the tablespace. (Bug#21699:http://bugs.mysql.com/21699)
     It should be noted that the datafile could be not dropped if
     the table still contained any rows, so this bug involved no
     loss of data.
   * NDB Cluster: INSERT IGNORE wrongly ignored NULL values in
     unique indexes. (Bug#27980:http://bugs.mysql.com/27980)
   * NDB Cluster: The name of the month "March" was given
     incorrectly in the cluster error log.
     (Bug#27926:http://bugs.mysql.com/27926)
   * NDB Cluster (Cluster Replication / Disk Data): An issue with
     replication of Disk Data tables could in some cases lead to
     node failure. (Bug#28161:http://bugs.mysql.com/28161)
   * NDB Cluster (APIs): For BLOB reads on operations with lock
     mode LM_CommittedRead, the lock mode was not upgraded to
     LM_Read before the state of the BLOB had already been
     calculated. The NDB API methods affected by this problem
     included the following:
        + NdbOperation::readTuple()
        + NdbScanOperation::readTuples()
        + NdbIndexScanOperation::readTuples()
     (Bug#27320:http://bugs.mysql.com/27320)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): Setting the value of the UNDO BUFFER
     SIZE to 64K or less in a CREATE LOGFILE GROUP statement led to
     failure of cluster data nodes.
     (Bug#24560:http://bugs.mysql.com/24560)
   * NDB Cluster: The cluster waited 30 seconds instead of 30
     milliseconds before reading table statistics.
     (Bug#28093:http://bugs.mysql.com/28093)
   * NDB Cluster: It was not possible to add a unique index to an
     NDB table while in single user mode.
     (Bug#27710:http://bugs.mysql.com/27710)
   * NDB Cluster: Performing a delete followed by an insert during
     a local checkpoint could cause a Rowid already allocated
     error. (Bug#27205:http://bugs.mysql.com/27205)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): When restarting a data node following
     the creation of a large number (~200) of Disk Data objects,
     the cluster could not assign a node ID to the restarting node.
     (Bug#25741:http://bugs.mysql.com/25741)
   * NDB Cluster: Adding of indexes online failed for NDB tables
     having BLOB or TEXT columns.
     (Bug#25431:http://bugs.mysql.com/25431)
   * NDB Cluster: The ndb_resize.pl utility did not calculate
     memory usage for indexes correctly.
     (Bug#24229:http://bugs.mysql.com/24229)
   * NDB Cluster: While a data node was stopped, dropping a table
     then creating an index on a different table caused that node
     to fail during restart. This was due to the re-use of the
     dropped table's internal ID for the index without verifying
     that the index now referred to a different database object.
     (Bug#21755:http://bugs.mysql.com/21755)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): When in single user mode, it was
     possible to create log file groups and tablespaces from any
     SQL node connected to the cluster.
     (Bug#27712:http://bugs.mysql.com/27712)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): Changing a column specification or
     issuing a TRUNCATE statement on a Disk Data table caused the
     table to become an in-memory table.
     (Bug#24667:http://bugs.mysql.com/24667,
    Bug#25296:http://bugs.mysql.com/25296)
     This fix supersedes an incomplete fix that was made for this
     issue in MySQL 5.1.15.
   * NDB Cluster (Replication): Setting SQL_LOG_BIN to zero did not
     disable binary logging.
     (Bug#27076:http://bugs.mysql.com/27076)
     This issue affected only the NDB storage engine.
   * NDB Cluster (Replication): It was possible for API nodes to
     begin interacting with the cluster subscription manager before
     they were fully connected to the cluster.
     (Bug#27651:http://bugs.mysql.com/27651)
   * NDB Cluster (Replication): Under very high loads, checkpoints
     could be read or written with checkpoint indexes out of order.
     (Bug#27651:http://bugs.mysql.com/27651)
   * NDB Cluster: NDB tables having MEDIUMINT AUTO_INCREMENT
     columns were not restored correctly by ndb_restore, causing
     spurious duplicate key errors. This issue did not affect
     TINYINT, INT, or BIGINT columns with AUTO_INCREMENT.
     (Bug#27775:http://bugs.mysql.com/27775)
   * NDB Cluster: NDB tables with indexes whose names contained
     space characters were not restored correctly by ndb_restore
     (the index names were truncated).
     (Bug#27758:http://bugs.mysql.com/27758)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): Changes to a Disk Data table made as
     part of a transaction could not be seen by the client
     performing the changes until the transaction had been
     committed. (Bug#27757:http://bugs.mysql.com/27757)
   * NDB Cluster: An INSERT followed a delete DELETE on the same
     NDB table caused a memory leak.
     (Bug#27756:http://bugs.mysql.com/27756)
     (This bug was introduced by the fix for
    Bug#20612:http://bugs.mysql.com/20612.)
   * NDB Cluster: Some queries that updated multiple tables were
     not backed up or replicated correctly.
     (Bug#27748:http://bugs.mysql.com/27748)
   * NDB Cluster: Joins on multiple tables containing BLOB columns
     could cause data nodes run out of memory, and to crash with
     the error NdbObjectIdMap::expand unable to expand.
     (Bug#26176:http://bugs.mysql.com/26176)
   * NDB Cluster: When trying to create an NDB table after the
     server was started with --ndbcluster but without
     --ndb-connectstring, mysqld produced a memory allocation
     error. (Bug#27359:http://bugs.mysql.com/27359)
   * NDB Cluster (APIs): Using NdbBlob::writeData() to write data
     in the middle of an existing blob value (that is, updating the
     value) could overwrite some data past the end of the data to
     be changed. (Bug#27018:http://bugs.mysql.com/27018)
   * NDB Cluster (Replication): Trying to replicate a large number
     of frequent updates with a relatively small relay log
     (max-relay-log-size set to 1M or less) could cause the slave
     to crash. (Bug#27529:http://bugs.mysql.com/27529)
   * NDB Cluster (Replication): An SQL node acting as a replication
     master server could be a single point of failure; that is, if
     it failed, the replication slave had no way of knowing this,
     which could result in a mismatch of data between the master
     and the slave. (Bug#21494:http://bugs.mysql.com/21494)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): CREATE TABLE ... LIKE disk_data_table
     created an in-memory NDB table.
     (Bug#25875:http://bugs.mysql.com/25875)
   * NDB Cluster (Disk Data): Creating an excessive number of data
     files for a single tablespace caused data nodes to crash.
     (Bug#24521:http://bugs.mysql.com/24521)
   * NDB Cluster: Under certain rare circumstances, DROP TABLE or
     TRUNCATE of an NDB table could cause a node failure or forced
     cluster shutdown. (Bug#27581:http://bugs.mysql.com/27581)
   * NDB Cluster: Memory usage of a mysqld process grew even while
     idle. (Bug#27560:http://bugs.mysql.com/27560)
   * NDB Cluster: Using more than 16GB for DataMemory caused
     problems with variable-size columns.
     (Bug#27512:http://bugs.mysql.com/27512)
   * NDB Cluster: In an NDB table having a TIMESTAMP column using
     DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, that column would assume a random
     value when another column in the same row was updated.
     (Bug#27127:http://bugs.mysql.com/27127)
   * NDB Cluster: Performing ALTER TABLE ... ENGINE=MERGE on an NDB
     table caused mysqld to crash.
     (Bug#26898:http://bugs.mysql.com/26898)
   * NDB Cluster: The Cluster table handler did not set bits in
     null bytes correctly. (Bug#26591:http://bugs.mysql.com/26591)
   * NDB Cluster: In some cases, AFTER UPDATE and AFTER DELETE
     triggers on NDB tables that referenced subject table did not
     see the results of operation which caused invocation of the
     trigger, but rather saw the row as it was prior to the update
     or delete operation.
     This was most noticeable when an update operation used a
     subquery to obtain the rows to be updated. An example would be
     UPDATE tbl1 SET col2 = val1 WHERE tbl1.col1 IN (SELECT col3
     FROM tbl2 WHERE c4 = val2) where there was an AFTER UPDATE
     trigger on table tbl1. In such cases, the trigger would fail
     to execute.
     The problem occurred because the actual update or delete
     operations were deferred to be able to perform them later as
     one batch. The fix for this bug solves the problem by
     disabling this optimization for a given update or delete if
     the table has an AFTER trigger defined for this operation.
     (Bug#26242:http://bugs.mysql.com/26242)
   * NDB Cluster: START BACKUP NOWAIT caused a spurious Out of
     backup record error in the management client (START BACKUP and
     START BACKUP WAIT STARTED performed normally).
     (Bug#25446:http://bugs.mysql.com/25446)
   * NDB Cluster: When trying to create tables on an SQL node not
     connected to the cluster, a misleading error message Table
     'tbl_name' already exists was generated. The error now
     generated is Could not connect to storage engine.
     (Bug#18676:http://bugs.mysql.com/18676)
   * NDB Cluster: A data node failing while another data node was
     restarting could leave the cluster in an inconsistent state.
     In certain rare cases, this could lead to a race condition and
     the eventual forced shutdown of the cluster.
     (Bug#27466:http://bugs.mysql.com/27466)
   * NDB Cluster: When using the MemReportFrequency configuration
     parameter to generate periodic reports of memory usage in the
     cluster log, DataMemory usage was not always reported for all
     data nodes. (Bug#27444:http://bugs.mysql.com/27444)
   * NDB Cluster: Error messages displayed when running in single
     user mode were inconsistent.
     (Bug#27021:http://bugs.mysql.com/27021)
   * NDB Cluster: On Solaris, the value of an NDB table column
     declared as BIT(33) was always displayed as 0.
     (Bug#26986:http://bugs.mysql.com/26986)
   * NDB Cluster (Replication): An UPDATE on the master became a
     DELETE on slaves. (Bug#27378:http://bugs.mysql.com/27378)
   * The fix forBug#17212:http://bugs.mysql.com/17212provided
     correct sort order for misordered output of certain queries,
     but caused significant overall query performance degradation.
     (Results were correct (good), but returned much more slowly
     (bad).) The fix also affected performance of queries for which
     results were correct. The performance degradation has been
     addressed. (Bug#27531:http://bugs.mysql.com/27531)
   * On Windows, connection handlers did not properly decrement the
     server's thread count when exiting.
     (Bug#25621:http://bugs.mysql.com/25621)
   * SELECT COUNT(*) from a table containing a DATETIME NOT NULL
     column could produce spurious warnings with the NO_ZERO_DATE
     SQL mode enabled. (Bug#22824:http://bugs.mysql.com/22824)
   * Nested aggregate functions could be improperly evaluated.
     (Bug#27363:http://bugs.mysql.com/27363)
   * Using CAST() to convert DATETIME values to numeric values did
     not work. (Bug#23656:http://bugs.mysql.com/23656)
   * Early NULL-filtering optimization did not work for eq_ref
     table access. (Bug#27939:http://bugs.mysql.com/27939)
   * Non-grouped columns were allowed by * in ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY
     SQL mode. (Bug#27874:http://bugs.mysql.com/27874)
   * Debug builds on Windows generated false alarms about
     uninitialized variables with some Visual Studio runtime
     libraries. (Bug#27811:http://bugs.mysql.com/27811)
   * An error message suggested the use of
     mysql_fix_privilege_tables after an upgrade, but the
     recommended program is now mysql_upgrade.
     (Bug#27818:http://bugs.mysql.com/27818)
   * mysqld did not check the length of option values and could
     crash with a buffer overflow for long values.
     (Bug#27715:http://bugs.mysql.com/27715)
   * Index hints (USE INDEX, IGNORE INDEX, FORCE INDEX) cannot be
     used with FULLTEXT indexes, but were not being ignored.
     (Bug#25951:http://bugs.mysql.com/25951)
   * mysql_upgrade did not detect failure of external commands that
     it runs. (Bug#26639:http://bugs.mysql.com/26639)
   * mysql_upgrade did not pass a password to mysqlcheck if one was
     given. (Bug#25452:http://bugs.mysql.com/25452)
   * On Windows, mysql_upgrade was sensitive to lettercase of the
     names of some required components.
     (Bug#25405:http://bugs.mysql.com/25405)
   * The result set of a query that used WITH ROLLUP and DISTINCT
     could lack some rollup rows (rows with NULL values for
     grouping attributes) if the GROUP BY list contained constant
     expressions. (Bug#24856:http://bugs.mysql.com/24856)
   * Some upgrade problems are detected and better error messages
     suggesting that mysql_upgrade be run are produced.
     (Bug#24248:http://bugs.mysql.com/24248)
   * A performance degradation was observed for outer join queries
     to which a not-exists optimization was applied.
     (Bug#28188:http://bugs.mysql.com/28188)
   * The LEAST() and GREATEST() functions compared DATE and
     DATETIME values as strings, which in some cases could lead to
     an incorrect result. (Bug#27759:http://bugs.mysql.com/27759)
   * SELECT * INTO OUTFILE ... FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.schemata
     failed with an Access denied error, even for a user who has
     the FILE privilege. (Bug#28181:http://bugs.mysql.com/28181)
   * Certain queries that used uncorrelated scalar subqueries
     caused EXPLAIN to to crash.
     (Bug#27807:http://bugs.mysql.com/27807)
   * INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE could cause Error 1032: Can't
     find record in ... for inserts into an InnoDB table unique
     index using key column prefixes with an underlying utf8 string
     column. (Bug#13191:http://bugs.mysql.com/13191)
   * On Linux, the server could not create temporary tables if
     lower_case_table_names was set to 1 and the value of tmpdir
     was a directory name containing any uppercase letters.
     (Bug#27653:http://bugs.mysql.com/27653)
   * A slave that used --master-ssl-cipher could not connect to the
     master. (Bug#21611:http://bugs.mysql.com/21611)
   * mysqldump crashed if it got no data from SHOW CREATE PROCEDURE
     (for example, when trying to dump a routine defined by a
     different user and for which the current user had no
     privileges). Now it prints a comment to indicate the problem.
     It also returns an error, or continues if the --force option
     is given. (Bug#27293:http://bugs.mysql.com/27293)
   * Several math functions produced incorrect results for large
     unsigned values. ROUND() produced incorrect results or a crash
     for a large number-of-decimals argument.
     (Bug#24912:http://bugs.mysql.com/24912)
   * For storage engines that allow the current auto-increment
     value to be set, using ALTER TABLE ... ENGINE to convert a
     table from one such storage engine to another caused loss of
     the current value. (For storage engines that do not support
     setting the value, it cannot be retained anyway when changing
     the storage engine.) (Bug#25262:http://bugs.mysql.com/25262)
   * Comparison of a DATE with a DATETIME did not treat the DATE as
     having a time part of 00:00:00.
     (Bug#27590:http://bugs.mysql.com/27590)
   * A multiple-table UPDATE could return an incorrect rows-matched
     value if, during insertion of rows into a temporary table, the
     table had to be converted from a MEMORY table to a MyISAM
     table. (Bug#22364:http://bugs.mysql.com/22364)
   * The omission of leading zeros in dates could lead to erroneous
     results when these were compared with the output of certain
     date and time functions.
     (Bug#16377:http://bugs.mysql.com/16377)
   * If CREATE TABLE t1 LIKE t2 failed due to a full disk, an empty
     t2.frm file could be created but not removed. This file then
     caused subsequent attempts to create a table named t2 to fail.
     This is easily corrected at the filesystem level by removing
     the t2.frm file manually, but now the server removes the file
     if the create operation does not complete successfully.
     (Bug#25761:http://bugs.mysql.com/25761)
   * The MERGE storage engine could return incorrect results when
     several index values that compare equality were present in an
     index (for example, 'gross' and 'gross ', which are considered
     equal but have different lengths).
     (Bug#24342:http://bugs.mysql.com/24342)
   * For InnoDB tables, a multiple-row INSERT of the form INSERT
     INTO t (id...) VALUES (NULL...) ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
     id=VALUES(id), where id is an AUTO_INCREMENT column, could
     cause ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry... errors or lost
     rows. (Bug#27650:http://bugs.mysql.com/27650)
   * mysql_install_db is supposed to detect existing system tables
     and create only those that do not exist. Instead, it was
     exiting with an error if tables already existed.
     (Bug#27783:http://bugs.mysql.com/27783)
   * Failure to allocate memory associated with
     transaction_prealloc_size could cause a server crash.
     (Bug#27322:http://bugs.mysql.com/27322)
   * Aborting a statement on the master that applied to a
     non-transactional statement broke replication. The statement
     was written to the binary log but not completely executed on
     the master. Slaves receiving the statement executed it
     completely, resulting in loss of data synchrony. Now an error
     code is written to the error log so that the slaves stop
     without executing the aborted statement. (That is, replication
     stops, but synchrony to the point of the stop is preserved and
     you can investigate the problem.)
     (Bug#26551:http://bugs.mysql.com/26551)
   * The AUTO_INCREMENT value would not be correctly reported for
     InnoDB tables when using SHOW CREATE TABLE statement or
     mysqldump command. (Bug#23313:http://bugs.mysql.com/23313)
   * Creating a temporary table with InnoDB when using the
     one-file-per-table setting, when the host filesystem for
     temporary tables is tmpfs would cause an assertion in mysqld.
     This was due to the use of O_DIRECT when opening the temporary
     table file. (Bug#26662:http://bugs.mysql.com/26662)
   * An interaction between SHOW TABLE STATUS and other concurrent
     statements that modify the table could result in a

     resulted in an Unknown column error.
     (Bug#27786:http://bugs.mysql.com/27786)
   * The CRC32() function returns an unsigned integer, but the

   * Implicit conversion of 9912101 to DATE did not match
     CAST(9912101 AS DATE).
     (Bug#23093:http://bugs.mysql.com/23093)
   * CURDATE() is less than NOW(), either when comparing CURDATE()
     directly (CURDATE() < NOW() is true) or when casting CURDATE()
     to DATE (CAST(CURDATE() AS DATE) < NOW() is true). However,
     storing CURDATE() in a DATE column and comparing col_name <
     NOW() incorrectly yielded false. This is fixed by comparing a
     DATE column as DATETIME for comparisons to a DATETIME
     constant. (Bug#21103:http://bugs.mysql.com/21103)
   * For dates with 4-digit year parts less than 200, an incorrect
     implicit conversion to add a century was applied for date
     arithmetic performed with DATE_ADD(), DATE_SUB(), + INTERVAL,
     and - INTERVAL. (For example, DATE_ADD('0050-01-01 00:00:00',
     INTERVAL 0 SECOND) became '2050-01-01 00:00:00'.)

     query columns when it contained aggregate functions that were
     aggregated in outer context.
     (Bug#27321:http://bugs.mysql.com/27321)
   * In some cases, the optimizer preferred a range or full index
     scan access method over lookup access methods when the latter
     were much cheaper. (Bug#19372:http://bugs.mysql.com/19372)
   * Duplicates were not properly identified among (potentially)

     (Bug#27779:http://bugs.mysql.com/27779)
   * Row-based replication of MyISAM to non-MyISAM tables did not
     work correctly for BIT columns. This has been corrected, but
     the fix introduces an incompatibility into the binary log
     format. (Bug#22583:http://bugs.mysql.com/22583) (The
     incompatibility is corrected by the fix for
    Bug#27779:http://bugs.mysql.com/27779.)
   * Duplicate members in SET definitions were not detected. Now
     they result in a warning; if strict SQL mode is enabled, an
     error occurs instead. (Bug#27069:http://bugs.mysql.com/27069)
   * If the name of a table given to myisamchk -rq was a packed

   * A damaged or missing mysql.event table caused SHOW VARIABLES
     to fail. (Bug#23631:http://bugs.mysql.com/23631)
   * Database and table names have a maximum length of 64
     characters (even if they contain multi-byte characters), but

   * If a rotate event occured in the middle of a non-transaction
     group, the group position would be updated by the rotate event
     indicating an illegal group start position that was

   * Having the EXECUTE privilege for a routine in a database
     should make it possible to USE that database, but the server
     returned an error instead. This has been corrected. As a
     result of the change, SHOW TABLES for a database in which you
     have only the EXECUTE privilege returns an empty set rather
