MySQL 5.1 Released, Not Quite Up To Par

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday December 1, 2008 @05:28AM from the time-to-fix-the-org dept.

Mad Merlin writes "It's no secret that MySQL 5.1 has been a long time in the making, with the first beta release being in Nov 2005, but MySQL 5.1.30 has finally been released as GA. MySQL users can expect new features such as table/index partitioning, row based replication, a new plugin architecture, an event scheduler and a host of performance improvements from 5.1." Monty also had a blog post outlining some of the challenges faced in 5.1, including crashing bugs and a beta quality to most new features.

Cognitive dissonance is a wonderful thing.
No, it's a terrible thing.
But I want it. Badly.

>How does something like THAT pass QA?
That's REALLY unfair to blame Oracle for QA processes... they outsource SQA process, so it's a SUPPLIER problem.
