protocol

One could send a malformed packet that caused the server to SEGV.  In 
recent versions of the password protocol, the client tells the server 
what length the ciphertext is (almost always 20).  If that length was
large enough to overflow a signed char, then the number would jump to 
very large after being casted to unsigned int.

Instead, cast the *passwd char to uchar.

The message is gramatically wrong, and factually wrong.

Change it to refer to the myisam_sort_buffer_size variable and change
"to" to "too".

Warnings may show up in the error log that complain about a table, yet
don't tell us which table.

Add the database and table names to the message.

some rollup rows (rows with NULLs for grouping attributes) if GROUP BY
list contained constant expressions.

This happened because the results of constant expressions were not put
in the temporary table used for duplicate elimination. In fact a constant
item from the GROUP BY list of a ROLLUP query can be replaced for an
Item_null_result object when a rollup row is produced . 

Now the JOIN::rollup_init function wraps any constant item referenced in
the GROYP BY list of a ROLLUP query into an Item_func object of a special
class that is never detected as constant item. This ensures creation of
fields for such  constant items in temporary tables and guarantees right
results when the result of the rollup operation first has to be written
into a temporary table, e.g. in the cases when duplicate elimination is
required.

INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE may cause error 1032: 
"Can't find record in ..." if we are inserting into
InnoDB table unique index of partial key with
underlying UTF-8 string field.

This error occurs because INSERT...ON DUPLICATE uses a wrong
procedure to copy string fields of multi-byte character sets
for index search.

This bug occurs when error message length exceeds allowed limit: my_error()
function outputs "%s" sequences instead of long string arguments.

Formats like %-.64s are very common in errmsg.txt files, however my_error()
function simply ignores precision of those formats.

IGNORE/USE/FORCE INDEX hints were honored when choosing FULLTEXT
index.

With this fix these hints are ignored. For regular indexes we may
perform table scan instead of index lookup when IGNORE INDEX was
specified. We cannot do this for FULLTEXT in NLQ mode.

Added a function to check compatibility of row expressions. Made sure that this

MERGE engine may return incorrect values when several representations
of equal keys are present in the index. For example "groß" and "gross"
or "gross" and "gross " (trailing space), which are considered equal,
but have different lengths.

The problem was that key length was not recalculated after key lookup.

Only MERGE engine is affected.
