Hi,

----- Original Message ----- From: "DownloadFAST.com" <supp@DownloadFAST.com> To: "Ben Gollmer" <be@jatosoft.com> Cc: <mys@lists.mysql.com>

Or does MySQL actively support, debug, fix, and go back and maintain older releases?

That is indeed the case. The 3.23 and 4.0 branches co-exist, and we still do 3.23 releases for bugfixes, as you can see in the change log (http://www.mysql.com/doc/N/e/News-3.23.x.html). There have already been 3.23 releases since the release of 4.0.0. The two branches are quite inter-related. Fixes to one are also applied to the other, where appropriate.

Do read some more about MySQL's design and development philosophy, there is lots of information about this throughout the manual (http://www.mysql.com/doc/). You can also download a recent version for offline perusal (http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/alternate.html), for instance in HTMLs, or PDF format (if you want to print it for comfy reading).

Regards, Arjen.
