- Fix potential security vulnerabilities in the creation of temporary
table file names and the handling of User Defined Functions (UDFs).

Increased BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED to 4.1.10a.
Functionality added or changed:
* The Mac OS X 10.3 installation disk images now include a MySQL
Preference Pane for the Mac OS X Control Panel that enables the user
to start and stop the MySQL server via the GUI and activate and
deactivate the automatic MySQL server startup on bootup.
* Seconds_Behind_Master will be NULL (which means ``unknown'')
if the slave SQL thread is not running, or if the slave I/O thread
is not running or not connected to master. It will be zero if the
SQL thread has caught up with the I/O thread. It no longer grows
indefinitely if the master is idle.
* InnoDB: Do not acquire an internal InnoDB table lock in LOCK
TABLES if AUTOCOMMIT=1. This helps in porting old MyISAM applications
to InnoDB. InnoDB table locks in that case caused deadlocks very easily.
* InnoDB: Print a more descriptive error and refuse to start InnoDB
if the size of `ibdata' files is smaller than what is stored in the
tablespace header; innodb_force_recovery overrides this.
* The MySQL server aborts immediately instead of simply issuing a
warning if it is started with the --log-bin option but cannot
initialize the binary log at startup (that is, an error occurs when
writing to the binary log file or binary log index file).
* The binary log file and binary log index file now behave like
MyISAM when there is a "disk full" or "quota exceeded" error. See
section A.4.3 How MySQL Handles a Full Disk.
Many bugfixes were fixed... see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/News-4.1.9.html
* Make mysql4-client build on NetBSD 1.[56]*
* Don't install mysqld and friends in mysql4-client (eww!)
* Remove an unneeded patch.
* Remove duplicated files in mysql4-client's PLIST.
Also, use assembler functions when MACHINE_ARCH == i386.
This closes PR pkg/27154, pkg/27720, pkg/27744 and pkg/28035.
BTW, I tested them on NetBSD 1.6.2, 2.0_RC4 and -current.
Bump PKGREVISION for both packages.
MySQL version 4.1 offers dozens of important product enhancements
and new features, including support for:
* Subqueries and derived tables -- allowing users to search
complex data sets with greater ease and efficiency;
* A significantly faster and more flexible client-server protocol
with support for prepared statements, providing optimized query
execution and improved warning information;
* New GUI installer and configuration wizards for Linux and Windows,
making it easier for developers to set up and optimize their
MySQL databases;
* Encrypted client-server communication using OpenSSL (GPL),
greatly increasing security against malicious intrusion and
unauthorized access.
* A more highly-optimized MySQL server library with a smaller
memory footprint that performs significantly faster when embedded
in third-party software.
* Extensive Unicode support through the utf8 and ucs2 international
character sets for applications that require the use of local
languages;
* Industry-standard GIS spatial types for storing and managing
geographic data;
* Improved full text search and Help features.
release) and take maintainership.
Functionality added or changed:
# Print version_comment (from ./configure --comment during compilation)
when starting the server. E.g.: Version: '4.0.21-debug' socket:
'/tmp/mysql.sock' port: 0 Official MySQL Binary
# Made the MySQL server not react to signals SIGHUP and SIGQUIT on
Mac OS X 10.3. This is needed because under this OS, the MySQL server
receives lots of these signals (reported as Bug #2030).
# On Windows, the mysqld-nt and mysqld-max-nt servers now write error
messages to the Windows event log in addition to the MySQL error log.
Tons of bugfixes were fixed, more information:

most popular database language in the world. MySQL is a client-server
implementation that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many
different client programs/libraries.
The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.
The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many years. While
MySQL is still in development it already offers a rich and highly useful
function set.
The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).
This package contains the MySQL client programs and libraries.
