Changes in release 3.23.14
--------------------------

   * Fixed a bug in `CONCAT()' where one of the arguments was a function
     that returned a modified argument.

   * Fixed a critical bug in `myisamchk', where it updated the header in
     the index file when one only checked the table.  This confused the
     `mysqld' daemon if it updated the same table at the same time. Now
     the status in the index file is only updated if one uses
     `--update-state'.  With older `myisamchk' versions you should use
     `--read-only' when only checking tables, if there is the slightest
     chance that the `mysqld' server is working on the table at the
     same time!

   * Fixed that `DROP TABLE' is logged in the update log.

   * Fixed problem when searching on `DECIMAL()' key field where the
     column data contained leading zeros.

   * Fix bug in `myisamchk' when the auto_increment isn't the first key.

   * Allow `DATETIME' in ISO8601 format: 2000-03-12T12:00:00

   * Dynamic character sets.  A `mysqld' binary can now handle many
     different character sets (you can choose which when starting
     `mysqld').

   * Added command `REPAIR TABLE'.

   * Added C API function `mysql_thread_safe()'.

   * Added the `UMASK_DIR' environment variable.

   * Added function `CONNECTION_ID()'.

   * When using `=' on `BLOB' or `VARCHAR BINARY' keys, where only a
     part of the column was indexed, the whole column of the result row
     wasn't compared.

   * Fix for sjis character set and `ORDER BY'.

   * When running in ANSI mode, don't allow columns to be used that
     aren't in the `GROUP BY' part.
