configure.in:
  change server version number to 5.1.29

Added a rule that uses gcc to generate preprocessor
output (gcc -E) that can be compared to an already
generated output using the diff utility.

icheck has been removed and replaced by gcc -E
because icheck does not support C++.

Makefile.am:
  Added a rule for checking that the abi/api
  has not changed.
  
  The following rules are followed in the rule in makefile.am
  
  1) Generate preprocessor output for the
     files that need to be tested for abi/ 
     api changes. use -nostdinc to prevent
     generation of preprocessor output for
     system headers. This results in
     messages in stderr saying that these
     headers were not found. Redirect the
     stderr output to /dev/null to prevent
     seeing these messages.
  2) sed the output to 
     2.1) remove blank lines and lines that
          begin with "# "
     2.2) When gcc -E is run on the Mac OS 
          and solaris sparc platforms it
          introduces a line of output that
          shows up as a difference between
          the .pp and .out files. Remove
          these OS specific preprocessor
          text inserted by the preprocessor.
  3) diff the generated file and the canons
     (.pp files already in the repository).
  4) delete the .out file that is generated.
     If the diff fails, the generated file 
     is not removed. This will be useful
     for analysis of ABI differences (e.g.
     using a visual diff tool).
  
  A ABI change that causes a build to fail will always be accompanied by new canons (.out files). The .out files that are not removed will be replaced as the new .pp files.
  
  e.g. If include/mysql/plugin.h has an ABI
       change then this rule would leave a
       <build directory>/abi_check.out file.
  
  A developer with a justified API change will then do a 
  
  mv <build directory>/abi_check.out include/mysql/plugin.pp 
  
  to replace the old canons with the new ones.
configure.in:
  1) Removed the part of the file that was
     icheck related
  2) Added an entry for the configure
     variable DIFF
  3) Ensured that the abi_check rule is run
     only if gcc is available
include/Makefile.am:
  1) Removed the icheck related entries
include/mysql.h.pp:
  The pre-processor output cannon file for
  include/mysql.h
include/mysql/plugin.h.pp:
  The pre-processor output cannon file
  for include/mysql/plugin.h
include/mysql_h.ic:
  Removed the cannon file related to icheck.
sql/mysql_priv.h.pp:
  The pre-processor output cannon file for
  sql/mysql_priv.h

Incremental fixes: updating a comment and fixing a result file.

sql/sql_class.h:
  Changing comment.

The assertion indicates that some data was left in the transaction
cache when the server was shut down, which means that a previous
statement did not commit or rollback correctly.

What happened was that a bug in the rollback of a transactional
table caused the transaction cache to be emptied, but not reset.
The error can be triggered by having a failing UPDATE or INSERT,
on a transactional table, causing an implicit rollback.

Fixed by always flushing the pending event to reset the state
properly.


mysql-test/extra/rpl_tests/rpl_row_basic.test:
  Testing that a failed update (that writes some rows to the
  transaction cache) does not cause the transaction cache to
  hold on to the data or forget to reset the transaction cache.
sql/log.cc:
  Added call to remove pending event when the transaction cache
  is emptied instead of written to binary log. The call will also
  clear the outstanding table map count so that the cache is not
  left it in a state of "empty but not reset".
  
  Added function MYSQL_BIN_LOG::remove_pending_rows_event().
sql/log.h:
  Added function MYSQL_BIN_LOG::remove_pending_rows_event().
sql/sql_class.cc:
  Adding function THD::binlog_remove_pending_rows_event().
sql/sql_class.h:
  Adding function THD::binlog_remove_pending_rows_event().

This patch also fixes bugs 36963 and 35600.
                      
- In many places a view was confused with an anonymous derived
  table, i.e. access checking was skipped. Fixed by introducing a
  predicate to tell the difference between named and anonymous
  derived tables.
                      
- When inserting fields for "SELECT * ", there was no 
  distinction between base tables and views, where one should be
  made. View privileges are checked elsewhere.

sql/table.h:
  Bug#36086: 
    - Commented GRANT_INFO.
    - Added a predicate is_anonymous_derived_table() to    
      TABLE_LIST.
    - Added get_table_name() and get_db_name() to   
      TABLE_LIST in order to hide the disparate   
      representation of these properties.

      
The replication filtering rules were inappropiately applied when
executing BINLOG pseudo-query.  The rules are supposed to be active
only at times when the slave's sql thread executes an event.
            
Fixed with correcting a condition to call replication rules only if
the slave sql thread executes the event.

  INSERT .. SELECT .. ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE col=DEFAULT

In order to get correct values from update fields that
belongs to the SELECT part in the INSERT .. SELECT .. ON
DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE statement, the server adds referenced
fields to the select list. Part of the code that does this
transformation is shared between implementations of
the DEFAULT(col) function and the DEFAULT keyword (in
the col=DEFAULT expression), and an implementation of
the DEFAULT keyword is incomplete.


mysql-test/r/default.result:
  Added test case for bug #39002.
mysql-test/t/default.test:
  Added test case for bug #39002.
sql/item.cc:
  The Item_default_value::transform() function has been
  modified to take into account the fact that the DEFAULT
  keyword has no arguments unlike the DEFAULT(col) function
  that always has an argument.

            returns unexpected result

If:
  1. a table has a not nullable BIT column c1 with a length
     shorter than 8 bits and some additional not nullable
     columns c2 etc, and
  2. the WHERE clause is like: (c1 = constant) AND c2 ...,
the SELECT query returns unexpected result set.


The server stores BIT columns in a tricky way to save disk
space: if column's bit length is not divisible by 8, the
server places reminder bits among the null bits at the start
of a record. The rest bytes are stored in the record itself,
and Field::ptr points to these rest bytes.

However if a bit length of the whole column is less than 8,
there are no remaining bytes, and there is nothing to store in
the record at its regular place. In this case Field::ptr points
to bytes actually occupied by the next column in a record.
If both columns (BIT and the next column) are NOT NULL,
the Field::eq function incorrectly deduces that this is the
same column, so query transformation/equal item elimination
code (see build_equal_items_for_cond) may mix these columns
and damage conditions containing references to them.


mysql-test/r/type_bit.result:
  Added test case for bug #37799.
mysql-test/t/type_bit.test:
  Added test case for bug #37799.
sql/field.h:
  1. The Field::eq function has been modified to take types of
  comparing columns into account to distinguish between BIT and
  not BIT columns referencing the same bytes in a record.
  
  2. Unnecessary type comparison has been removed from the
  Field_bit::eq function (moved to Field::eq).

used causes server crash.
      
When the loose index scan access method is used values of aggregated functions
are precomputed by it. Aggregation of such functions shouldn't be performed
in this case and functions should be treated as normal ones.
The create_tmp_table function wasn't taking this into account and this led to
a crash if a query has MIN/MAX aggregate functions and employs temporary table
and loose index scan.
Now the JOIN::exec and the create_tmp_table functions treat MIN/MAX aggregate
functions as normal ones when the loose index scan is used.


mysql-test/r/group_min_max.result:
  Added a test case for the bug#38195.

  Added a test case for the bug#38195.
sql/sql_select.cc:
  Bug#38195: Incorrect handling of aggregate functions when loose index scan is

  The JOIN::exec and the create_tmp_table functions treat MIN/MAX aggregate
  functions as normal ones when the loose index scan is used.

            tables open

When executing a DROP DATABASE statement in ROW mode and having temporary
tables open at the same time, the existance of temporary tables prevent
the server from switching back to row mode after temporarily switching to
statement mode to handle the logging of the statement.

Fixed the problem by removing the code to switch to statement mode and added
code to temporarily disable the binary log while dropping the objects in the
database.


mysql-test/extra/binlog_tests/database.test:
  Added test to ensure that DROP DATABASE does not affect the replication mode.
sql/sql_db.cc:
  Removed code that clears the current_stmt_binlog_row_based flag.
  Added code to disable the binary log while dropping the objects

  Fix for embedded

Typo fixed.
No test case as we actually don't use rtree_get_first() 
and rtree_get_next() at present.

Problem: data consistency check (maximum record length) for a correct
MyISAM table with CHECKSUM=1 and ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC option 
may fail due to wrong inner MyISAM parameter. In result we may 
have the table marked as 'corrupted'. 

Fix: properly set MyISAM maximum record length parameter.


myisam/mi_create.c:
  Fix for bug #37310: 'on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' option crashes the table
  
  Use HA_OPTION_PACK_RECORD instead of HA_PACK_RECORD (typo?) 
  calculating packed record length.
