Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2001 00:45:51 +0200 (EET) From: Michael Widenius To: announce@lists.mysql.com Subject: MySQL 3.23.31 is released Hi! First: Note that it will take a short while until SourceForge and all mirrors have the new version; Don't email us for a couple of days if you can't find the 3.23.31 version on a mirror! MySQL 3.23 is now finally released as a production release. The 3.23 release has several major new features that are not present in the 3.22 or 3.21 releases. We have added two new table types: MyISAM, a new ISAM library which is tuned for SQL and supports large files; and BerkeleyDB which uses the Berkeley DB library from Sleepycat Software to implement transaction-safe tables. The 3.23 release also includes support for database replication between a master and many slaves. We are in the future aiming to only provide bug fixes for 3.23 and instead concentrate on the 4.0 version. The replication code and BerkeleyDB code is still not as tested and as the rest of the code, so we will probably need to do a couple of future releases of 3.23 with small fixes for this part of the code. As long as you don't use these features, you should be quite safe with MySQL 3.23! Note that the above doesn't mean that replication or Berkeley DB doesn't work; We have done a lot of testing of all code, including replication and BDB without finding any problems. It only means that not as many users uses this code as the rest of the code and because of this we are not yet 100 % confident in this code. We will within a few days start building binaries with BDB table support; We will do a separate announcement when these are available. Changes in release 3.23.31
