If the first argument to GeomFromWKB function is a geometry
field then the function just returns its value.
However in doing so it's not preserving first argument's 
null_value flag and this causes unexpected null value to
be returned to the calling function.
      
Fixed by updating the null_value of the GeomFromWKB function
in such cases (and all other cases that return a NULL e.g.
because of not enough memory for the return buffer).

Problem: involving a spatial index for "non-spatial" queries
(that don't containt MBRXXX() functions) may lead to failed assert.

Fix: don't use spatial indexes in such cases.

line 138 when forcing a spatial index

Problem: "Spatial indexes can be involved in the search 
for queries that use a function such as MBRContains() 
or MBRWithin() in the WHERE clause".
Using spatial indexes for JOINs with =, <=> etc.
predicates is incorrect.

Fix: disable spatial indexes for such queries.

                     grants are reapplied.


After renaming a user and trying to re-apply grants results in additional
grants.

This is because we use username as part of the key for GRANT_TABLE structure.
When the user is renamed, we only change the username stored and the hash key
still contains the old user name and this results in the extra privileges

Fixed by rebuilding the hash key and updating the column_priv_hash structure
when the user is renamed

If a thread is killed in the server, we throw "shutdown" only if one is actually in
progress; otherwise, we throw "query interrupted".

Control-C in the mysql command-line client is "incremental" now.
First Control-C sends KILL QUERY (when connected to 5.0+ server, otherwise, see next)
Next  Control-C sends KILL CONNECTION
Next  Control-C aborts client.

As the first two steps only pertain to an existing query,
Control-C will abort the client right away if no query is running.

client will give more detailed/consistent feedback on Control-C now.

Use "#ifdef", not plain "#if".

The bug is a compilation issue:
Function "find_key_block()" had thread operations
which were not guarded by "#if THREAD", add that now.

can lead to bad memory access

Problem: Field_bit is the only field which returns INT_RESULT
and doesn't have unsigned flag. As it's not a descendant of the 
Field_num, so using ((Field_num *) field_bit)->unsigned_flag may lead
to unpredictable results.

Fix: check the field type before casting.

The pthread_cond_wait implementations for windows might
dead lock in some rare circumstances.

1) One thread (I) enter a timed wait and at a point in
   time ends up after mutex unlock and before
   WaitForMultipleObjects(...)
2) Another thread (II) enters pthread_cond_broadcast.
   Grabs the mutex and discovers one waiter. It set
   the broadcast event and closes the broadcast gate
   then unlocks the mutex.
3) A third thread (III) issues a pthread_cond_signal.
   It grabs the mutex, discovers one waiter, sets the
   signal event then unlock the mutex.
4) The first threads (I) enters WaitForMultipleObjects
   and finds out that the signal object is in a
   signalled state and exits the wait.
5) Thread (I) grabs the mutex and checks result status.
   The number of waiters is decreased and becomes equal
   to 0. The event returned was a signal event so the
   broadcast gate isn't opened. The mutex is released.
6) Thread (II) issues a new broadcast. The mutex is
   acquired but the number of waiters are 0 hence
   the broadcast gate remains closed.
7) Thread (I) enters the wait again but is blocked by
   the broadcast gate.

      This fix resolves the above issue by always resetting
      broadcast gate when there are no more waiters in th queue.

                    Removes the need of a hack (the jump to label).

On Mac OS X or Windows, sending a SIGHUP to the server or a
asynchronous flush (triggered by flush_time), would cause the
server to crash.

The problem was that a hook used to detach client API handles
wasn't prepared to handle cases where the thread does not have
a associated session.

The solution is to verify whether the thread has a associated
session before trying to detach a handle.

Make configure.js bail with an error if trying to build bdb from a bzr
tree.

          'flush tables' crashes

The server crashes when 'show procedure status' and 'flush tables' are
run concurrently.

This is caused by the way mysql.proc table is added twice to the list
of table to lock although the requirements on the current locking API
assumes differently.

No test case is submitted because of the nature of the crash which is 
currently difficult to reproduce in a deterministic way.

This is a backport from 5.1

The 'BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK' log event could be filtered out if the
database is not selected by --database option of mysqlbinlog command.
This can result in problem if there are some statements in the
transaction are not filtered out.

To fix the problem, mysqlbinlog will output 'BEGIN/ROLLBACK/COMMIT' 
in regardless of the database filtering rules.

          replication
              
MySQL server uses wrong lock type (always TL_READ instead of
TL_READ_NO_INSERT when appropriate) for tables used in
subqueries of UPDATE statement. This leads in some cases to
a broken replication as statements are written in the wrong
order to the binlog.

Add --help option.
