 Fixed problem with one thread using an InnoDB table and another
-thread doing an @code{ALTER TABLE} on the same table.
+thread doing an @code{ALTER TABLE} on the same table. Before that,
+mysqld could crash with an assertion failure in row0row.c, line 474.
 @item
-If inserts to several tables containing an auto-inc column are wrapped
-inside one @code{LOCK TABLES}, InnoDB asserted in @code{lock0lock.c}.
+Tuned the InnoDB SQL optimizer to favor more often index searches
+over table scans.
+@item
+Fixed a performance problem with InnoDB tables when several large SELECT
+queries are run concurrently on a multiprocessor Linux computer.  Large
+CPU-bound SELECT queries will now also generally run faster on all
+platforms.
+@item
+If MySQL binlogging is used, InnoDB now prints after crash recovery the
+latest MySQL binlog name and the offset InnoDB was able to recover
+to. This is useful, for example, when resynchronizing a master and a
+slave database in replication.
+@item
+Added better error messages to help in installation problems of InnoDB tables.
+@item
+One can now recover also MySQL temporary tables which have become
+orphaned inside the InnoDB tablespace.
+@item
+InnoDB now prevents a @code{FOREIGN KEY} declaration where the signedness
+is not the same in the referencing and referenced integer columns.
+@item
+Calling @code{SHOW CREATE TABLE} or @code{SHOW TABLE STATUS} could cause
+memory corruption and make mysqld to crash.  Especially at risk was
+@code{mysqldump}, because it calls frequently @code{SHOW CREATE TABLE}.
+@item
+If inserts to several tables containing an auto-inc column were wrapped
+inside one @code{LOCK TABLES}, InnoDB asserted in lock0lock.c.
+@item
+In 3.23.47 we allowed several @code{NULLS} in a @code{UNIQUE} secondary
+index for an InnoDB table.  But @code{CHECK TABLE} was not relaxed: it
+reports the table as corrupt.  @code{CHECK TABLE} no longer complains in
+this situation.
 @item
 @code{SHOW GRANTS} now shows @code{REFERENCES} instead of @code{REFERENCE}.
