I was interested to see how many of the bugs from the 5.1 release (which I haven't touched due to roundhouse slams from the bulk of the community) had been addressed, so I've had a look at the bugs in Monty's 5.1 GA blog entry - http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2008/11/oops-we-did-it-again-mysql-51-released.html http://monty-says.blogspot.com/2008/11/oops-we-did-it-again-.... Without reviewing them in too much depth, several have been moved to closed in the bug tracker. There are still a few hairy ones sitting with later targets (6.0-beta) or sitting in triage waiting for attention, but it does look promising that several have been addressed.
