Software Update: MySQL / InnoDB 3.23.41b

Heike Tuuri of Innobase Oy has compiled a new source release of InnoDB, based on the latest MySQL version 3.23.41. The main change is a bug fix that affects BLOB and Text fields in rows over 8000 bytes. MySQL users who want to try the row-level locking, multiversioning and transactions of InnoDB can use the tarbal bring down here†

Source release of InnoDB-3.23.41b now available. Since the MySQL version 3.23.42 is still delayed by a few days, I decided to release InnoDB source now. Main changes in InnoDB:

• The serious update bug in > 8000-byte rows has been fixed. If you have tables with > 8000-byte rows, it is best that you reimport them. Also all other bug fixes mentioned on the Bugs and fixes page are in this version, except the table rename bug fix which requires a small change also in the MySQL source.
• InnoDB Monitor is now divided into innodb_monitor, innodb_lock_monitor, and innodb_tablespace_monitor.
