While the manual mentions FRAC_SECOND only for the TIMESTAMPADD()
function, it was also possible to use FRAC_SECOND with DATE_ADD(),
DATE_SUB() and +/- INTERVAL.

Fixed the parser to match the manual, i.e. using FRAC_SECOND for 
anything other than TIMESTAMPADD()/TIMESTAMPDIFF() now produces a 
syntax error.

Additionally, the patch allows MICROSECOND to be used in TIMESTAMPADD/
TIMESTAMPDIFF and marks FRAC_SECOND as deprecated.

                 for wildcard values.
The server ignored escape character before wildcards during
the calculation of priority values for sorting of a privilege
list. (Actually the server counted an escape character as an
ordinary wildcard like % or _). I.e. the table name template
with a wildcard character like 'tbl_1' had higher priority in
a privilege list than concrete table name without wildcards
like 'tbl\_1', and some privileges of 'tbl\_1' was hidden
by privileges for 'tbl_1'.

The get_sort function has been modified to ignore escaped
wildcards as usual.

                 type conversion.

Instead of copying of whole character string from a temporary
buffer, the server copied a short-living pointer to that string
into a long-living structure. That has been fixed.

Under some circumstances a combination of VIEWs, subselects with outer
references and PS/SP/triggers could lead to use of uninitialized memory
and server crash as a result.

Fixed by changing the code in Item_field::fix_fields() so that in cases
when the field is a VIEW reference, we first check whether the field
is also an outer reference, and mark it appropriately before returning.

SET column storing procedure has been modified to be 64bit-clean.

The out of memory error was thrown when the sort buffer size were too small.
This led to a user confusion.

Now filesort throws the error message about sort buffer being too small.

  Minor post-fix for bug#34223.

The bug was that handler::clone/handler::ha_open() call caused allocation of 
cloned_copy->ref on the handler->table->mem_root. The allocated memory could not 
be reclaimed until the table is flushed, so it was possible to exhaust memory by 
repeatedly running index_merge queries without doing table flushes.  

The fix:
- make handler::clone() allocate new_handler->ref on the passed mem_root 
- make handler::ha_open() not allocate this->ref if it has already been allocated
There is no testcase as it is not possible to check small leaks from testsuite.

my_innodb_commit_concurrency variables has been changed to

Server handles truncation for assignment of too-long values
into CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns in a different ways when the
truncated characters are spaces:
1. CHAR(N) columns silently ignore end-space truncation;
2. TEXT columns post a truncation warning/error in the
   non-strict/strict mode.
3. VARCHAR columns always post a truncation note in
   any mode.

Space truncation processing has been synchronised over
CHAR/VARCHAR/TEXT columns: current behavior of VARCHAR
columns has been propagated as standard.

Binary-encoded string/BLOB columns are not affected.

                    on table creates

The problem was in incompatible syntax for key definition in CREATE
TABLE.

5.0 supports only the following syntax for key definition (see "CREATE
TABLE syntax" in the manual):

{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] [index_type] (index_col_name,...)

While 5.1 parser supports the above syntax, the "preferred" syntax was
changed to:

{INDEX|KEY} [index_name] (index_col_name,...) [index_type]

The above syntax is used in 5.1 for the SHOW CREATE TABLE output, which
led to dumps generated by 5.1 being incompatible with 5.0.

Fixed by changing the parser in 5.0 to support both 5.0 and 5.1 syntax
for key definition.

Simple subselects are pulled into upper selects. This operation substitutes the
pulled subselect for the first item from the select list of the subselect.
If an alias is defined for a subselect it is inherited by the replacement item.
As this is done after fix_fields phase this alias isn't showed if the
replacement item is a stored function. This happens because the Item_func_sp::make_field
function makes send field from its result_field and ignores the defined alias.

Now when an alias is defined the Item_func_sp::make_field function sets it for
the returned field.

Two disjuncts containing equalities of the form key=const1 and key=const2 can
be merged into one if const1 is equal to const2. To check it the common 
collation of the constants were used rather than the collation of the field key.
For example when the default collation of the constants was cases insensitive
while the collation of the field was case sensitive, then two or-ed equality 
predicates key='b' and key='B' incorrectly were merged into one f='b'. As a 
result ref access was used instead of range access and wrong result sets were 
returned in many cases. 
Fixed the problem by comparing constant in the or-ed predicate with collation of
the key field.

The problem occurred when one had a subquery that had an equality X=Y where 
Y referred to a named select list expression from the parent select. MySQL 
crashed when trying to use the X=Y equality for ref-based access. 

Fixed by allowing non-Item_field items in the described case.

The ROUND(X, D) function would change the Item::decimals field during
execution to achieve the effect of a dynamic number of decimal digits.
This caused a series of bugs:
Bug #30617:Round() function not working under some circumstances in InnoDB
Bug #33402:ROUND with decimal and non-constant cannot round to 0 decimal places
Bug #30889:filesort and order by with float/numeric crashes server
Fixed by never changing the number of shown digits for DECIMAL when
used with a nonconstant number of decimal digits.

value when inserting into a view.

The mysql_prepare_insert function checks all fields of the target table that
directly or indirectly (through a view) are specified in the INSERT
statement to have a default value. This check can be skipped if the INSERT
statement doesn't mention any insert fields. In case of a view this allows
fields that aren't mentioned in the view to bypass the check.

Now fields of the target table are always checked to have a default value
when insert goes into a view.
