and removed the 3.23.53 News section for now until 3.23.52 is officially
tagged.

 - Only define alloca as a compiler builtin, if we use GCC and there
   is no alloca.h installed

  Add some more safety margin to buffer sizes in prints

  Found the bug in modified innobase_mysqld_print_thd; the person who modifies code should test that his change works

  Revert changes to sprintf until we know why control characters scrambled the output

Remove not needed locks in SHOW OPEN TABLES

   compiler builtin when using gcc

  Merge InnoDB-3.23.52d

Fixed bug in automatic repair of MyISAM tables where table cache was not locked properly

Removed Heikki's patch for handling this.

Added option --host to mysqlhotcopy

  In HP-UX-10.20, but not in HP-UX-11.0, the return value of pthread_mutex_trylock is inverted

Use MYSQL_CONFIG_NAME instead of "my" as the configuration file name.

OPTIMIZE or REPAIR table when other threads are opening new tables.

(Merge of code from 4.0)

  Remove the complex typecast used to convert a HP-UX pthread struct to os_thread_id_t; the typecast seemed to work wrong in gcc-3.1 on HP-UX-10.20

Fixed wrong arguments to printf()

Removed some compiler warnings regarding 'static' from InnoDB

  Merge InnoDB-3.23.52c; improve AUTO-INC algorithm with SHOW TABLE STATUS; new checksum in log

 - overhauled the RPM spec file (more macros, package descriptions)

  Since MySQL commits the stmt always at the end of an INSERT, it is enough to release auto-inc lock at innobase_commit and innobase_rollback; add also more comments to code

  procinfo -> proc_info to make ha_innobase.cc to compile, add more comments about ref
