from MariaDB 10.0.
  
The bug in mdev-3948 was an instance of the problem fixed by Sergey's patch
in 10.0 - namely that the range optimizer could change table->[read | write]_set,
and not restore it.

  Now, ROR-merged QUICK_RANGE_SELECT objects make no assumptions about the values
  of table->read_set and table->write_set.
  Each QUICK_ROR_SELECT has (and had before) its own column bitmap, but now, all 
  QUICK_ROR_SELECT's functions that care: reset(), init_ror_merged_scan(), and 
  get_next()  will set table->read_set when invoked and restore it back to what 
  it was before the call before they return.

  This allows to avoid the mess when somebody else modifies table->read_set for 
  some reason.

MDEV-3875 Wrong result (missing row) on a DISTINCT query with the same subquery in the SELECT list and GROUP BY

fix remove_dup_with_hash_index() and remove_dup_with_compare() to take NULLs into account

The problem was that a temporary table was re-created as a non-temporary table.

  Added test cases

  Added test cases
sql/sql_truncate.cc:
  Mark that table to be created is a temporary table

  Ensure that temporary tables are not transactional.

Miscellaneous workarounds for  drop-in compatibility problems with Linux distributions, arounf versioning of the 
MySQL 5.5 client shared library. There seems to be 3 different ways major distributions handle versioning

1. Fedora  (also Mageia, and likely  other Redhat descendants) way 
   old, 5.1 API functions are given version libmysqlclient_16
   new API functions  (client plugins, mysql_stmt_next ) are given version libmysqlclient_18
   some extra functions beyond API are exported.
   some functions are renamed.

2.Debian Wheezy way 
  all functions are given libmysqlclient_18 version

3. Ubuntu  way (or MySQL/MariaDB download packages)
  no versioning

UIp to this fix, MariaDB distributions did not have any versioning in the libraries, this rendered client library incompatible to distributions 
thus exchanging  distribution's libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0  with MariaDB's did not work nicely (anywhere but on Ubuntu)


THE FIX  
is to build libraries the same way as distributions do it 
- when building RPMs, use  same version script as Fedora does, Make sure to export extra-symbols, the same as Fedora exports.
- when building DEBs, use the same version script as Debian Wheezy
- do not use version scripts otherwise


Also, makes sure that extensions of  MySQL APIs (asynchronous client functionality) is exported by  the shared libraries.

FIx  : make "shared" RPM obsolete/provide mysql-libs

reached by fix_fields() (via reference) before row which it belongs to (on the second execution)
and fix_field for row did not follow usual protocol for Items with argument
(first check that the item fixed then call fix_fields).

Item_row::fix_field fixed.

MDEV-729 lp:998028 - Server crashes on normal shutdown in closefrm after executing a query from MyISAM table

don't write a key value into the record buffer - a key length can be larger then the record length.

MDEV-759 lp:998340 - Valgrind complains on simple selects containing expression DAY(FROM_UNIXTIME(-1))

check item->null_value before using the result of item->val_int()

client/mysqltest.cc:
  make --error to work for --change_user errors

mysqldump.c: s/SET OPTION/SET/
(OPTION was, hm, optional since 3.21, so there's no need to use SET OPTION even
in the old compatibility modes)

instead of returning Access denied on the incorrect user name,
emulate the complete failed logic procedure, possibly with
the change plugin packet.

  
allow only three failed change_user per connection.
successful change_user do NOT reset the counter

tests/mysql_client_test.c:
  make --error to work for --change_user errors

This bug could result in returning 0 for the expressions of the form 
<aggregate_function>(distinct field) when the system variable  
max_heap_table_size was set to a small enough number.
It happened because the method Unique::walk() did not support
the case when more than one pass was needed to merge the trees
of distinct values saved in an external file.

Backported a fix in grant_lowercase.test from mariadb 5.5.

test suite added.

MDEV-4029 SELECT on information_schema using a subquery locks up the information_schema table due to incorrect mutexes handling
  
Early evaluation of subqueries in the WHERE conditions on I_S.*_STATUS tables,
otherwise the subquery on this same table will try to acquire LOCK_status twice.

MDEV-3952 Incompatible change in MariaDB-5.5.28a-client rpm adds mytop when not in MariaDB-5.5.23-client (CentOS 5)

Same as for deb: don't add mytop to the client rpm.

MDEV-3934 Assertion `((keypart_map+1) & keypart_map) == 0' failed in _mi_pack_key with an index on a POINT column

sel_arg_range_seq_next(): set keypart map also for GEOM_FLAG keys

MDEV-4029 SELECT on information_schema using a subquery locks up the information_schema table due to incorrect mutexes handling

Early evaluation of subqueries in the WHERE conditions on I_S.*_STATUS tables,

sql/item.h:
  remove unused method

MDEV-3832 MariaDB conflicts with packages filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.i686 and jre-1.7.0_09-fcs.i586 on Fedora 18

fix the rpm packaging to work on Fedora18. Two problems:
* conflicts on common directories with other packages.
* more auto-generated requirements for mariadb-test.rpm
