[Maria-developers] Text for 5.5.21 documentation and release notes
Hi Daniel, I have pushed MWL#192 to 5.5.21. This introduces a minor change in functionality. I hope you can find a good place to put this in the documentation/knowledgebase. Here is suggested text, let me know if you have questions, and feel free to improve the text as you like: "In MySQL, and in MariaDB versions before 5.5.21, mysql_real_connect() removes from the MYSQL object any options set with mysql_option() when it fails. From MariaDB 5.5.21, options are preserved by a failing mysql_real_connect(); use mysql_close(), as normal, to clear them. This only has effect if the MYSQL object is reused after a mysql_real_connect() failure (which is unusual). No real-life incompatibilities are expected from this change; it is unlikely that an application will rely on options being automatically removed between connection attempts." (I am preparing information for you to fully document the new MWL#192 feature; I will send it to you later). - Kristian.

I'll get this added to the preliminary 5.5.21 release notes, and get the other documentation you prepped added to the KB. If I have any questions, I'll let you know.
