| SW: Flash plugin, status update from Mensys... |
2008-11-25
++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++
From: Roderick Klein
After 5 attemtempts in total with first Macromedia and now Adobe I
suceeded! Mensys has received permission from Adobe to distribute the
Windows Flash with eCS. Without going into legal details and patents.
Using the Windows binary makes the best legal and financial sense.
But before people ask, where is a release ?
1. There is no timeline yet for any release, so for now. Its going to at
least take something like I expect half a year before we can say more.
2. There are some technical problems. There is a "leaked" version of the
Flash 7 plugin with the Innotek runtime. Innotek has not been able to
release this source code to
the public in a timely fashion before they where taken over by SUN. So
there will be code that needs to be rewritten. The ODIN project is a start
for this.
This will be a complex effort!!
Just to clearly state this again! This is a first step but the legal block
is gone now! The writing the code to run the Flash DLL is next big step!!!!
But a step taken to another project to keep eCS on track!

Warpstock Europe 2009
=====================
After the very successful Warpstock Europe 2008 event in Düsseldorf, it's
time to think about 2009. We would be very interested to hear from any of
you who might be thinking about organising such an event.
Our Website, www.warpevents.eu is there to provide a one-stop-shop for
anyone who wants to know what's involved, how to do it, and how to get help.
We would be very pleased to hear from you Now!, even if you are just
vaguely thinking about it. If 2009 is too soon for you, there's always 2010!
If you don't want to organise an event like Warpstock Europe, or any other
OS/2 event for that matter, you can still help by contributing your time,
your knowledge, or your money. (...just take 10c, and then send us all the
rest of your money :)
For further information, please visit

From: Mark Dodel
"ACPI (short for "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface") is a
standard that defines power and configuration management interfaces
between an operating system and Hardware. It is meant to supersede
the older APM standard (for power management) and provide a generic
interface for recognition and configuration of hardware devices."
ACPI Tools homepage -- http://ecomstation.ru/acpitools
Eugene Gorbunoff posted new updates to ACPI a few days ago on the eCS
BetaZone. Available to those with access (via Software Subscription
Services) to the eComStation BetaZone: ( via logging in at

From: Timothy Smith
Dear MySQL users,
We are proud to present to you the MySQL Server 5.1.30 GA release, the
first 5.1 production version of the popular open source database.
MySQL 5.1.30 is recommended for use on production systems.
MySQL 5.1 provides a number of new enhancements including:
- Table and index partitioning
- Row-based and mixed replication
- Built-in job scheduler
- Improved XML handling with XPath support
- New SQL diagnostic aids and performance utilities
- The return of the embedded library (libmysqld)
For a more complete look at what's new in MySQL 5.1, please see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-nutshell.html
For information on installing MySQL 5.1.30 on new servers or upgrading
to MySQL 5.1.30 from previous MySQL releases, please see
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/installing.html
MySQL Server is available in source and binary form for a number of
platforms from our download pages at
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
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.
We welcome and appreciate your feedback, bug reports, bug fixes,
patches, etc.:
http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Contributing
For information on open issues in MySQL 5.1, please see the errata
list at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/open-bugs.html
The following section lists the changes in the MySQL source code since
the previous released version of MySQL 5.1. It may also be viewed
online at

Sincerely,
Kent Boortz

=======================================================================
Bugs fixed:
* Partitioning: A SELECT using a range WHERE condition with an
ORDER BY on a partitioned table caused a server crash.
(Bug#40494: http://bugs.mysql.com/40494)
* Partitioning: Dropping or creating an index on a partitioned
table managed by the InnoDB Plugin locked the table.
(Bug#37453: http://bugs.mysql.com/37453)
* Replication: Row-based replication failed with non-partitioned
MyISAM tables having no indexes.
(Bug#40004: http://bugs.mysql.com/40004)
* With statement-based binary logging format and a transaction
isolation level of READ COMMITTED or stricter, InnoDB printed
an error because statement-based logging might lead to
inconsistency between master and slave databases. However,
this error was printed even when binary logging was not
enabled (in which case, no such inconsistency can occur).
(Bug#40360: http://bugs.mysql.com/40360)
* The CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE statement did not check for
incompatible collation changes made in MySQL 5.1.24. (This
also affects mysqlcheck and mysql_upgrade, which cause that
statement to be executed.)
Prior to this fix, a binary upgrade (performed without dumping
tables with mysqldump before the upgrade and reloading the
dump file after the upgrade) would corrupt tables. After the
fix, CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE properly detects the problem
and upgrades tables.
However, the fix is not backward compatible and can result in
a downgrading problem under these circumstances:
1. Perform a binary upgrade to a version of MySQL that
includes the fix.
2. Run CHECK TABLE ... FOR UPGRADE (or mysqlcheck or
mysql_upgrade) to upgrade tables.
3. Perform a binary downgrade to a version of MySQL that
does not include the fix.
The solution is to dump tables with mysqldump before the
downgrade and reload the dump file after the downgrade.
Alternatively, drop and recreate affected indexes.
(Bug#40053: http://bugs.mysql.com/40053)
* Some recent releases for Solaris 10 were built on Solaris 10
U5, which included a new version of libnsl.so that does not
work on U4 or earlier. To correct this, Solaris 10 builds now
are created on machines that do not have that upgraded
libnsl.so, so that they will work on Solaris 10 installations
both with and without the upgraded libnsl.so.
(Bug#39074: http://bugs.mysql.com/39074)
* XA transaction rollbacks could result in corrupted transaction
states and a server crash.
(Bug#28323: http://bugs.mysql.com/28323)
* ALTER TABLE for an ENUM column could change column values.
(Bug#23113: http://bugs.mysql.com/23113)
