If the server is started with --port-open-timeout=# 
retry to bind the TCP port if it fails with EADDRINUSE.
Use the new option in mysql-test-run.sh.

This includes both code and test cases.

with 20 test loops in case when any limit parameter was specified

 - Updated after valgrinding

and modifications to mysql-test-run(.pl/.sh)

The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
  object and open a handler to the table object

Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it

- For a busy system this change will give you:
 - Less memory usage for table object
 - Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
 - Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
 - Faster drop of table

Indeed now that stored procedures CALL is not binlogged, but instead the invoked substatements are,
the restrictions applied by log-bin-trust-routine-creators=0 are superfluous for procedures.
They still need to apply to functions where function calls are written to the binlog (for example as "DO myfunc(3)").
We rename the variable to log-bin-trust-function-creators but allow the old name until some future version (and issue a warning if old name is used).

Made change to mysqlimport to set character_set_database to binary to 
make importing various charsets/columns work correctly.

  Option to set environment variable MTR_BUILD_THREAD to a small
  number, from what mysql-test-run calculate port numbers that
  will not conflict with other runs with different thread num

Added initial support of stress testing. Now it is possible to start stress test from mysql-test-run script.
For details see README.stress 

  'information_schema' is excluded from list of databases for mysqlcheck command

Added flag to Field::store(longlong) to specify if value is unsigned.
This fixes bug #12750: Incorrect storage of 9999999999999999999 in DECIMAL(19, 0)
Fixed warning from valgrind in CREATE ... SELECT
Fixed double free of mysql.options if reconnect failed

  Corrected typo

 - Fixed problem, only detect comment if the # is on start of line AND starting line of the current command.
 - Wrote tests for most of the mysqltest commands, added stricter checking of correct syntax.

  Corrected path to CA certificate

  Added a sleep for 5 seconds when shuting down,
  work around for strange problem with server restarts
mtr_cases.pl:
  Set default time zone as opt to mysqld
mysql-test-run.pl:
  Enabled --mysqld=<flags> to work
  Put some Windows path names into environment,
  to be used in --replace_result
mysql-test-run.sh:
  Make shell script tolerant to Windows change in test cases

    don't start ndb cluster if no test uses it.

  Corrected path to SSL certificate files

Simple optimization for 2 argument usage to function of variable arguments
Fix stack overrun when using 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+....
Update crash-me results for 5.0
Don't call post_open if pre_open() fails (optimization)

  Not to conflict with Windows return code 2 for "not found", use 62 for "skip"
mysql-test-run.sh, suppress.purify:
  Use Purify suppress file

  Approximative fixes for BUG#2610,2611,9100 i.e. WL#2146 binlogging/replication of routines (stored procs and functions).
  Approximative, because it's using our binlogging way (what we call "query"-level) and this is not as good as record-level binlog (5.1) would be. It imposes several
  limitations to routines, and has caveats (which I'll document, and for which the server will try to issue errors but that is not always possible).
  Reason I don't propagate caller info to the binlog as planned is that on master and slave
  users may be different; even with that some caveats would remain.

Fixed warnings by valgrind for sum_distinct.test
Enable buffered-record-reads after filesort for InnoDB tables with short primary key
Enabled sort-with-data for MyISAM temporary files

Added suppression file for some valgrind warnings that are not real errors

Enable IM in the binary distribution and fix Bug #9513 (mysql.server script from the binary distibution
doesn't work out of the box)

up a couple of tests and adjusting the output of others. Exposes two
bugs (9472 and 9508).

by adding check for embedded server within tests and splitting some
tests into multiple test files.

mysql-test-run to the tests themselves.
