Drizzle

Drizzle source tarball based on build 1802 has been released.

This is our Drizzle7 beta release.  Please test away!

In this release:

• kernel options uses boost program_options, replaced my_getopt
• csv, archive, and blackhole tables are not enabled by default, need --plugin-add <name> to use them

• session/memory uses boost specific
• thread system based on boost
• improvements in configuration file processing
• merge of latest from PBXT 1.0.11-7 + new PBXT tests and bug fixes
• introduction of session performance table (not built by default)
• initial work on catalog support
• introduction of Sphinx-based documentation within the source tree
• stress testing of the data_dictionary tables (high concurrency scenarios) via the randgen
• timestamps are now 64 bit and ISO compliant
• 4 byte enum - able to handle very large enum operations
• dates are now 4 bytes - allows us to support a full range of values
• IO cleanup
• 40 bug fixes

• updated pandora-build to 0.141
• removed UNIV_STATIC, which is no longer used in the innodb plugin either
• removed WITH_ZIP
