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.

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:

Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
which are the full option names used to set rpath directives for the
linker and the compiler, respectively. In places were we are invoking
the linker, use "${LINKER_RPATH_FLAG} <path>", where the space is
inserted in case the flag is a word, e.g. -rpath. The default values
of *_RPATH_FLAG are set by the compiler/*.mk files, depending on the
compiler that you use. They may be overridden on a ${OPSYS}-specific
basis by setting _OPSYS_LINKER_RPATH_FLAG and _OPSYS_COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG,
respectively. Garbage-collect _OPSYS_RPATH_NAME and _COMPILER_LD_FLAG.
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.
