This is a Monthly Rapid Update release of the MySQL Enterprise Server 5.0.
Bugs fixed:
Incompatible Change: The MySQL 5.0.50 patch for this bug was reverted because it changed the behavior of a General Availability MySQL release. (Bug#30234)
See also Bug#27525.
Incompatible Change: It was possible for option files to be read twice at program startup, if some of the standard option file locations turned out to be the same directory. Now duplicates are removed from the list of files to be read.
Also, users could not override system-wide settings using
~/.my.cnf
because
was read last. The latter file now is read earlier so that
SYSCONFDIR
/my.cnf~/.my.cnf
can override system-wide
settings.
The fix for this problem had a side effect such that on Unix,
MySQL programs looked for options in
~/my.cnf
rather than the standard location
of ~/.my.cnf
. That problem was addressed as
Bug#38180.
