Obsolete:MySQL 5.1 (fork)

This page contains historical information. It is probably no longer true.

This is documentation for 5.1-wm build that is still running on db24 and db30, new builds are based off facebook tree

Currently new fork is being rolled out, based on lp:mysql-server/5.1 tree - with storage engine changes going into innodb_plugin engine.

Included Percona patches (from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~percona-dev/percona-xtradb/extensions-1.0/files):

• InnoDB-based replication positions
• Multiple purge threads
• Recovery performance: flushlist
• LRU contention fixes

Domas' changes:

• Online settable checksums calculation
• Replication fixes (for 4.0-5.1 replication) (see http://mituzas.lt/2009/12/05/on-replication-compatibility/ )
• Replication performance: hash building (see http://mituzas.lt/2009/12/08/crash-recovery-again/ )
• Reordered INNODB STATUS with serious stuff at the top, increased output size
• Removed some deprecation warnings
