Re: MySQL 3.23.39 released

[Steven Roussey]

Changes in release 3.23.39
--------------------------

   * Fixed problem with shutdown when `INSERT DELAYED' was waiting for
     a `LOCK TABLE'.

   * Running `myisamchk --fast --force' will no longer repair tables
     that only had the open count wrong.
--------------------------

THANK YOU! You don't know what it was for the first item to require a forced
shutdown that made myisamchk take a huge amount of time. Although we have
not had the need for a `myisamchk --fast --force' in a while, I tell you if
you had a big fulltext index, you would avoid it like the plague.

Now I have a question: Does this also apply to automatic repair inside
mysqld? I'd finally use the feature if its true...

Sincerely,

Steven Roussey
