   port number can be different from 3306 when doing the release builds
   with Do-compile, therefore it has to be replaced with the correct
   value during the test run using the "--replace_result" function.

   ChangeSet was not sufficient to get the full ChangeLog between two
   released versions (when using "--changelog=last") as merging between 
   trees also merges the BK tags. Now we explicitely search for the last
   tagged ChangeSet that matches our major+minor version number, which 
   should match the last ChangeSet used for the previous release.

a safer way of initing the mutexes in MYSQL_LOG.
is_open() is now always thread-safe.

Removed double my_thread_end() which caused fatal error on windows if mysqld died on startup

  Prevent the user from creating InnoDB tables with > 1000 columns

No commit message

  Undo serg's patch that used my_print_defaults,
  and instead simply do not define $opt{user}.
  This allows the script to use option files properly.

BUG#797 "If query ignored on slave (replicate-ignore-table) the slave still checks if
the returned error (0) is the same as the one on the master, whereas it shouldn't
test this.
Plus a new test for BUG#797.

  A cosmetic change: set trx id to zero at creation so that SHOW INNODB STATUS does not print a random value for the id of a transaction object for which the transaction has never been started yet (for example, running SHOW INNODB STATUS as the first command from a mysql prompt printed a random id for the trx object associated with the session itself running the SHOW INNODB STATUS command)

  Fix bug: if a DELETE failed in a FOREIGN KEY error and it had already deleted some rows, then MySQL did not roll back the failed SQL statement, and also wrote it to the binlog

FLUSH LOGS now rotates relay logs,
and a new variable max_relay_log_size.
Plus a very small bit of code cleaning.

  Fix performance bug: if there were thousands of tables, DROP TABLE could take as much as a second CPU time

  In background loop run purge to completion before doing other background operations: it does not make sense to flush buffer pool pages if they are soon modified again by purge
trx0purge.c:
  Increase purge_sys->n_pages_handled for every undo log we purge, even if that log would be only a hundred bytes: that way we get the purge batches of 20 pages to set a fresh purge view (limit) more often, and we can reduce the number of old row versions purge has to look at when it decides if it can remove some delete-marked index record
