[Maria-docs] MariaDB 5.5.21
by Daniel Bartholomew 15 Mar '12

15 Mar '12

All, I've uploaded the MariaDB 5.5.21-beta packages to the primary mirror and within a few hours the files will be distributed to all of the mirrors. Over the past couple of weeks I've added several items to the release notes page for 5.5.21 and today I created the changelog page. The pages are here: http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-5521-release-notes http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-5521-changelog Once the files are distributed I will update the pages and add in the download links and remove the "unreleased" banners from the pages linked to from the release notes page. I will also send out an announcement email, and post announcements to twitter, FB, G+, and so on as usual. Please let me know ASAP if there is anything which is not on the release notes page which should be (or jump in and add it). Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

by Daniel Bartholomew 26 Feb '12

26 Feb '12

All, Nearly all of the mirrors have the MariaDB 5.5.20 Alpha packages and source tarball now, so I've gone ahead and activated the various pages for the release. The release notes are pretty sparse at the moment. If there is anything that should be added to them, please let me know ASAP, or jump in and add it directly. http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-5520-release-notes http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-5520-changelog http://downloads.askmonty.org/mariadb/5.5.20/ Thanks. -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

I've just put a 'mariadb-5.3.4' tag to point at that revision (it was present and was pointing at revision 3402, which we didn't release.) The buildbot has finished building packages, so we've finished step #4 in the release-process.

[Maria-docs] http://kb.askmonty.org/en/annotate_rows_log_event
by Sergei Petrunia 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hi! I am looking at http://kb.askmonty.org/en/annotate_rows_log_event. This feature is only present in 5.3. However, the output there shows: master> SHOW BINLOG EVENTS IN 'master-bin.000001'; +-------------------+------+---------------+-----------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | Log_name | Pos | Event_type | Server_id | End_log_pos | Info | +-------------------+------+---------------+-----------+-------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | master-bin.000001 | 4 | Format_desc | 100 | 240 | Server ver: 5.1.44-debug-log, Binlog ver: 4 | Note that the version is 5.1.44! THis is confusing. How did we get this output? Is it because binlog annotation was a patch against 5.1 at some point?

[Maria-docs] Request: mysqldump page must document differences with 5.3
by Sergei Petrunia 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Hi Daniel, This page http://kb.askmonty.org/en/enhancements-for-start-transaction-with-consisten… documents a MariaDB 5.3 feature and mentions that "mysqldump has been extended". however, this page http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mysqldump doesn't mention 5.3 at all. I think, the changes introduced to 5.3 should be made apparent in the manual(and the first page ideally should link to the change description on the second) I have not throughly checked but on first glance diff'ing mysqldump output betwen 5.3 and 5.2 gives a clue about the change.

[Maria-docs] KB Macro Proposal
by Daniel Bartholomew 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

All, Based on an IRC discussion from yesterday, I whipped up a prototype of a couple of macros for use in code examples. The macros would be <<input>> and <<output>> and would be used almost the same way as the <<code>> macro (the main difference being that they cannot be used "inline"). For example: <<input lang=sql>> SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE d LIKE "%es%"; <</input>> <<output>> +-----------+ | d | +-----------+ | Tuesday | | Wednesday | +-----------+ <</output>> I've created a couple of prototypes (screenshots attached) of how it could look (hopefully the list will allow the attachements). I like v1 better, but I'm not enough of a css guru to know how to get the overflow to work right (I like v2 as well). The idea is to be able to easily indicate input and expected output for SQL (and other) examples and have it be consistent across pages in the KB. Thoughts? -- Daniel Bartholomew MariaDB - http://mariadb.org Monty Program - http://montyprogram.com AskMonty Knowledgebase - http://kb.askmonty.org

[Maria-docs] Request: "Save and continue editing" button in KB
by Sergei Petrunia 02 Jan '12

02 Jan '12

Hello, I think the KB article editor needs a "Save and continue editing" button, like it is done in WordPress. The reasons are: 1. A browser may loose text in edit boxes, so one is better is to save often. 2. Preview pane is below the text, so one cannot look at both; I end up having two side-by-side browser windows, one for viewing the original/changed article, and the other one for editing. For both reasons #1 and #2, when I press "save", most of the time I have to immediately press "Edit" to get back to editing (and then, in most cases, find the part of the text that I was editing before pressing "save"). Having "Save and continue editing" would eliminate the need to go back-and-forth and simplify editing for most users, I think.
