In order to be able to check if the set of the grouping fields in a 
GROUP BY has changed (and thus to start a new group) the optimizer
caches the current values of these fields in a set of Cached_item 
derived objects.
The Cached_item_str, used for caching varchar and TEXT columns,
is limited in length by the max_sort_length variable.
A String buffer to store the value with an alloced length of either
the max length of the string or the value of max_sort_length 
(whichever is smaller) in Cached_item_str's constructor.
Then, at compare time the value of the string to compare to was 
truncated to the alloced length of the string buffer inside 
Cached_item_str.
This is all fine and valid, but only if you're not assigning 
values near or equal to the alloced length of this buffer.
Because when assigning values like this the alloced length is 
rounded up and as a result the next set of data will not match the
group buffer, thus leading to wrong results because of the changed
alloced_length.
Fixed by preserving the original maximum length in the 
Cached_item_str's constructor and using this instead of the 
alloced_length to limit the string to compare to.
Test case added.

Fix a regression (due to a typo) which caused spurious incorrect
argument errors for long data stream parameters if all forms of
logging were disabled (binary, general and slow logs).

With statement- or mixed-mode logging, "LOAD DATA INFILE" queries
are written to the binlog using special types of log events.
When mysqlbinlog reads such events, it re-creates the file in a
temporary directory with a generated filename and outputs a
"LOAD DATA INFILE" query where the filename is replaced by the
generated file. The temporary file is not deleted by mysqlbinlog
after termination.
      
To fix the problem, in mixed mode we go to row-based. In SBR, we
document it to remind user the tmpfile is left in a temporary
directory.

This is a null merge of the InnoDB changesets which get to trunk
by manual porting and committing into mysql-trunk-innodb and then
merging into mysql-trunk-bugfixing.

Problem: The original patch didn't compile on debug_werror
due to wrong format in printf("%d") for size_t variables.

Fix: Adding cast to (int).

/*![:version:] Query Code */, where [:version:] is a sequence of 5 
digits representing the mysql server version(e.g /*!50200 ... */),
is a special comment that the query in it can be executed on those 
servers whose versions are larger than the version appearing in the 
comment. It leads to a security issue when slave's version is larger 
than master's. A malicious user can improve his privileges on slaves. 
Because slave SQL thread is running with SUPER privileges, so it can
execute queries that he/she does not have privileges on master.

This bug is fixed with the logic below: 
- To replace '!' with ' ' in the magic comments which are not applied on
  master. So they become common comments and will not be applied on slave.

- Example:
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /*!99999 ,(3)*/
  will be binlogged as
  'INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1) /*!10000, (2)*/ /* 99999 ,(3)*/

The problem is that the fix Bug#29784 was mistakenly
reverted when updating YaSSL to a newer version.

The solution is to re-apply the fix and this time
actually add a meaningful test case so that possible
regressions are caught.

to mysql-5.1-innodb plugin.

Problem: The functions my_like_range_xxx() returned
badly formed maximum strings for Asian character sets,
which made problems for storage engines.

Fix: 
- Removed a number my_like_range_xxx() implementations,
  which were in fact dumplicate code pieces.
- Using generic my_like_range_mb() instead.
- Setting max_sort_char member properly for Asian character sets
- Adding unittest/strings/strings-t.c, 
  to test that my_like_range_xxx() return well-formed 
  min and max strings.

Notes:

- No additional tests in mysql/t/ available.
  Old tests cover the affected code well enough.

Do not attempt to test the innodb plugin with the embedded server,
it's not supported for now.

InnoDB Plugin 1.0.10 has been released with MySQL 5.1.49.

Bug#49542 - Do as the comment suggests and downgrade directory errors from find_file() to a warning unless they happen during a SHOW command.

SHOW DATABASES LIKE ... was not converting to lowercase on comparison as the
documentation is suggesting. 
Fixed it to behave similarly to SHOW TABLES LIKE ... and updated the failing
on MacOSX lowercase_table2 test case.
