Changes in release 3.21.23
--------------------------

   * The following symbols are now reserved words: `TIME', `DATE',
     `TIMESTAMP', `TEXT', `BIT', `ENUM', `NO', `ACTION', `CHECK',
     `YEAR', `MONTH', `DAY', `HOUR', `MINUTE', `SECOND', `STATUS',
     `VARIABLES'.

   * Setting a `TIMESTAMP' to `NULL' in `LOAD DATA INFILE ...' didn't
     set the current time for the `TIMESTAMP'.

   * Fix `BETWEEN' to recognize binary strings. Now `BETWEEN' is case
     sensitive.

   * Added `--skip-thread-priority' option to `mysqld', for systems
     where `mysqld''s thread scheduling doesn't work properly (BSDI
     3.1).

   * Added ODBC functions `DAYNAME()' and `MONTHNAME()'.

   * Added function `TIME_FORMAT()'.  This works like `DATE_FORMAT()',
     but takes a time string (`'HH:MM:DD'') as argument.

   * Fixed unlikely(?) key optimizer bug when using `OR's of key parts
     inside `AND's.

   * Added command `variables' to `mysqladmin'.

   * A lot of small changes to the binary releases.

   * Fixed a bug in the new protocol from MySQL Version 3.21.20.

   * Changed `ALTER TABLE' to work with Windows (Windows can't rename
     open files).  Also fixed a couple of small bugs in the Windows
     version.

   * All standard MySQL clients are now ported to MySQL-Windows.

   * MySQL can now be started as a service on NT.
