* Added the SHOW PROFILES and SHOW PROFILE statements to display statement
profile data, and the accompanying INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROFILING table.
* Added the Uptime_since_flush_status status variable, which indicates the
number of seconds since the most recent FLUSH STATUS statement.
* Incompatible change in DATE_FORMAT().
* NDB Cluster: The LockPagesInMainMemory configuration parameter has changed
its type and possible values.
* The bundled yaSSL library was upgraded to version 1.5.8.
* The --skip-thread-priority option now is enabled by default for binary Mac
OS X distributions. Use of thread priorities degrades performance on Mac OS X.
* Added the --disable-grant-options option to configure.
* Bug fixes.

Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
Changes since version 5.0.22:
- Security fix: If a user has access to MyISAM table t, that user can
create a MERGE table m that accesses t. However, if the user's
privileges on t are subsequently revoked, the user can continue to
access t by doing so through m. If this behavior is undesirable, you
can start the server with the new --skip-merge option to disable the
MERGE storage engine. (Bug#15195)
- In the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES table the ROUTINE_DEFINITION
column now is defined as NULL rather than NOT NULL. Also, NULL rather
than the empty string is returned as the column value if the user does
not have sufficient privileges to see the routine
definition. (Bug#20230)
- Several other bug fixes

Notable changes include:
- Security enhancement: Added the global max_prepared_stmt_count system
variable to limit the total number of prepared statements in the
server.
- The default for the innodb_thread_concurrency system variable was
changed to 8.
- Fixes for CVE-2006-1516, CVE-2006-1517 and CVE-2006-1518.
And a lot of bug fixes.
INSTALL/DEINSTALL script creation within pkgsrc.
If an INSTALL or DEINSTALL script is found in the package directory,
it is automatically used as a template for the pkginstall-generated
scripts. If instead, they should be used simply as the full scripts,
then the package Makefile should set INSTALL_SRC or DEINSTALL_SRC
explicitly, e.g.:
INSTALL_SRC= ${PKGDIR}/INSTALL
DEINSTALL_SRC= # emtpy
As part of the restructuring of the pkginstall framework internals,
we now *always* generate temporary INSTALL or DEINSTALL scripts. By
comparing these temporary scripts with minimal INSTALL/DEINSTALL
scripts formed from only the base templates, we determine whether or
not the INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts are actually needed by the package
(see the generate-install-scripts target in bsd.pkginstall.mk).
In addition, more variables in the framework have been made private.
The *_EXTRA_TMPL variables have been renamed to *_TEMPLATE, which are
more sensible names given the very few exported variables in this
framework. The only public variables relating to the templates are:
INSTALL_SRC INSTALL_TEMPLATE
DEINSTALL_SRC DEINSTALL_TEMPLATE
HEADER_TEMPLATE
The packages in pkgsrc have been modified to reflect the changes in
the pkginstall framework.
MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the
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 server programs and libraries.
