Chapter 2: MySQL Installation 75 We also try to help out users who request features that are easy to implement. We take note of what our licensed users want to have, and we especially take note of what our extended e-mail supported customers want and try to help them out. No one has to download a new release. The News section will tell you if the new release has something you really want. See Appendix D [News], page 675. We use the following policy when updating MySQL: For each minor update, the last number in the version string is incremented. When there are major new features or minor incompatibilities with previous versions, the second number in the version string is incremented. When the le format changes, the rst number is increased. Stable-tested releases are meant to appear about 1-2 times a year, but if small bugs are found, a release with only bug xes will be released. Working releases/bug xes to old releases are meant to appear about every 1-8 weeks. Binary distributions for some platforms will be made by us for major releases. Other people may make binary distributions for other systems but probably less frequently. We usually make patches available as soon as we have located and xed small bugs. They are posted to bugs@lists.mysql.com and will be added to the next release. For non-critical but annoying bugs, we will add them the MySQL source repository and they will be xed in the next release. If there is, by any chance, a fatal bug in a release we will make a new release as soon as possible. We would like other companies to do this, too. The current stable release is Version 3.23; we have already moved active development to Version 4.0. Bugs will still be xed in the stable version. We don't believe in a complete freeze, as this also leaves out bug xes and things that \must be done." \Somewhat frozen" means that we may add small things that \almost surely will not aect anything that's already working." MySQL uses a slightly dierent naming scheme from most other products. In general it's relatively safe to use any version that has been out for a couple of weeks without being replaced with a new version. See Section 2.2.3 [Which version], page 71. 2.2.6 MySQL Binaries Compiled by MySQL AB As a service, we at MySQL AB provide a set of binary distributions of MySQL that are compiled at our site or at sites where customers kindly have given us access to their ma- chines. These distributions are generated with scripts/make_binary_distribution and are con- gured with the following compilers and options: SunOS 4.1.4 2 sun4c with gcc 2.7.2.1 CC=gcc CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors" ./configure -- prefix=/usr/local/mysql --disable-shared --with-extra-charsets=complex --enable-assembler
