SW: MySQL 5.1.26-rc has been released

2008-08-12
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

From: Paul Smedley

Hi All,

It's taken me a while to get this one built and debugged, but finally an
OS/2 binary of MySQL 5.1.26-rc is available. This is expected to be the
last RC before the GA code is released, so feedback on the build is
appreciated.

http://os2ports.smedley.info and http://mantis.smedley.info are running
with this version of MySQL so it's working fine here :)

Cheers,

Paul.

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: MySQL 5.1.26-rc has been released
Date: Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:05:05 +0200
From: Joerg Bruehe

Dear MySQL users,


We are proud to present to you the MySQL Server 5.1.26-rc release,
a new "release candidate" version of the popular open source database.

MySQL 5.1.26-rc is slated to be the last release candidate before we
declare MySQL 5.1 as "production ready" (GA). We therefore appreciate
any feedback and community testing of this release, to ensure that we
have ironed out any remaining critical issues.

This one is still labeled a "candidate" release, so the usual hints
about a pre-production release apply.
For production level systems using 5.0, we would like to direct your
attention to the product description of MySQL Enterprise at:

http://mysql.com/products/enterprise/

The MySQL 5.1.26-rc release is now available in source and binary form
for a number of platforms from our download pages at

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/

and mirror sites. Note that not all mirror sites may be up to date at
this point in time, so if you can't find this version on some mirror,
please try again later or choose another download site.

Please also note that some of our mirrors are currently experiencing
problems that may result in serving corrupted files. We are working with
the mirror maintainers to resolve this.

We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes,
patches etc.:

http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Contributing

The following section lists the changes from version to version in the
MySQL source code since the latest released version of MySQL 5.1, the
MySQL 5.1.25-rc release. It can also be viewed online at

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/news-5-1-26.html


Sincerely,

Jörg Brühe
The MySQL build team at Sun Microsystems
