Changes in release 3.23.21
--------------------------

   * Added `mysql_character_set_name(MYSQL *mysql)' function to the
     MySQL C API.

   * Made the update log `ASCII 0' safe.

   * Added the `mysql_config' script.

   * Fixed problem when using `<' or `>' with a char column that was
     only partly indexed.

   * One would get a core dump if the log file was not readable by the
     MySQL user.

   * Changed `mysqladmin' to use the `CREATE DATABASE'/`DROP DATABASE'
     commands instead of the old deprecated API calls.

   * Fixed `chown' warning in `safe_mysqld'.

   * Fixed a bug in `ORDER BY' that was introduced in 3.23.19.

   * Only optimize the `DELETE FROM tbl_name' to do a drop+create of
     the table if we are in `AUTOCOMMIT' mode.  (Needed for BDB tables).

   * Added extra checks to avoid index corruption when the
     `ISAM'/`MyISAM' index files gets full during an `INSERT'/`UPDATE'.

   * `myisamchk' didn't correctly update row checksum when used with
     `-ro' (This only gave an warning in subsequent runs).

   * Fixed bug in `REPAIR TABLE' so that it works with tables without
     indexes.

   * Fixed buffer overrun in `DROP DATABASE'

   * `LOAD TABLE FROM MASTER' is sufficiently bug-free to announce it as
     a feature.

   * `MATCH' and `AGAINST' are now reserved words.
