Hi Daniel, I have merged this from Paul into MariaDB. This means that the next MariaDB release (5.1.41) will include PBXT version 1.0.09f RC3 as described by Paul below. I hope you can use this to prepare MariaDB 5.1.41 release notes. - Kristian. Paul McCullagh <paul.mccullagh@primebase.org> writes:

This is the 3rd RC release of PBXT. It includes a number of bug fixes (some specifically for MariaDB), and 2 features:
- XA/2-Phase commit support - Online backup native driver for PBXT
The backup uses the MySQL backup API (MySQL 6.0/5.4), and is not yet available in MariaDB.
Release notes since the RC2 version already in MariaDB are as follows:
------- 1.0.09f RC3 - 2009-11-30
RN291: Fixed bug #489088: On shutdown MySQL reports: [Warning] Plugin 'PBXT' will be forced to shutdown.
RN290: Fixed bug #345524: pbxt does not compile on 64 bit windows. Currently atomic operations are not supported on this platform.
RN286: Fixed a bug introduced in RN281, which could cause an index scan to hang. The original change was to prevent a warning in Valgrind.
RN285: Merged changes required to compile with Drizzle.
RN284: Fixed bug that cause the error "[ERROR] Invalid (old?) table or database name 'mysqld.1'", when running temp_table.test under MariaDB (thanks to Monty for his initial bug fix). Added a fix for partition table names as well.
RN283: Added win_inttypes.h to the distribution. This file is only required for the Windows build.
RN282: Fixed bug #451101: jump or move depends on uninitialised value in myxt_get_key_length
RN281: Fixed bug #451080: Uninitialised memory write in XTDatabaseLog::xlog_append
RN280: Fixed bug #451085: jump or move depends on uninitialised value in my_type_to_string
RN279: Fixed bug #441000: xtstat crashes with segmentation fault on startup if max_pbxt_threads exceeded.
------- 1.0.09e RC3 - 2009-11-20
RN278: Fixed compile error with MySQL 5.1.41.
------- 1.0.09d RC3 - 2009-09-30
RN277: Added r/o flag to pbxt_max_threads server variable (this fix is related to bug #430637)
RN276: Added test case for replication on tables w/o PKs (see bug #430716)
RN275: Fixed bug #430600: 'Failed to read auto-increment value from storage engine' error.
RN274: Fixed bug #431240: This report is public edit xtstat fails if no PBXT table has been created. xtstat now accepts --database=information_schema or --database=pbxt. Depending on this setting PBXT will either use the information_schema.pbxt_statistics or the pbxt.statistics table. If information_schema is used, then the statistics are displayed even when no PBXT table exists. Recovery activity is also displayed, unless pbxt_support_xa=1, in which case MySQL will wait for PBXT recovery to complete before allowing connections.
RN273: Fixed bug #430633: XA_RBDEADLOCK is not returned on XA END after the transacting ended with a deadlock.
RN272: Fixed bug #430596: Backup/restore does not work well even on a basic PBXT table with auto-increment.
------- 1.0.09c RC3 - 2009-09-16
RN271: Windows build update: now you can simply put the pbxt directory under <mysql-root>/storage and build the PBXT engine as a part of the source tree. The engine will be linked statically. Be sure to specify the WITH_PBXT_STORAGE_ENGINE option when running win\configure.js
RN270: Correctly disabled PBMS so that this version now compiles under Windows. If PBMS_ENABLED is defined, PBXT will not compile under Windows becaause of a getpid() call in pbms.h.
------- 1.0.09 RC3 - 2009-09-09
RN269: Implemented online backup. A native online backup driver now performs BACKUP and RESTORE DATABASE operations for PBXT. NOTE: This feature is only supported by MySQL 6.0.9 or later.
RN268: Implemented XA support. PBXT now supports all XA related MySQL statements. The variable pbxt_support_xa determines if XA support is enabled. Note: due to MySQL bug #47134, enabling XA support could lead to a crash.
