Hi,

Ok, I stole the file in the tar distribution and succeeded in the installation of mysql 4.1.1 .

I then checked some new features i was interested in: - you wrote in the changelog that mysql 4.1.1 count now characters and no more bytes. I checked the length of "abé" and got 4 ... it doesn't work. - I had mentionned a bug two months ago : crash of mysql with the execution of create table t1 (col1 varchar(20) PRIMARY KEY, col2 varchar(30) not null, unique
index(col2)); insert into t1 set col1="abc", col2="Ikéa"; update t1 set col2="Ikea" where col2="Ikéa"; This still crashes mysql... :-(

I then supposed that i could use mysql 4.1.1 and have to wait some more time for
the fixes of the bugs mentionned above but : - I'm now unable to connect from Java. I got exactly the same error messages as
if mysql was down : Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Server connection failure during transaction. Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up. at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.createNewIO(Connection.java:1704) Does i have to change something in my code to upgrade from 4.10 to 4.1.1 ? - I'm also unable to type characters with accents(é,è, ...) in the client . My
console is unusable...

I reinstalled mysql 4.1.0 and everything works fine again (java, console). I have no doubt mysql 4.1.1 will bring a lot of ameliorations/bug fixes, but i
suppose i have to wait some more time before it will be usable.

I hope the mention of these bugs can help fixing it.
