It is very worthwhile upgrading (if you haven't already) .

Now I wonder where that MYsql 4.1 is ? alpha release was targeted for Dec/Jan. Seems like vaporware to me. Who needs it anyway :D

From 7.1.3 to 7.2 you MUST dump your old database and make a new one with initdb.

This is also for the furture
minor releases do not need a dump
(7.1 to 7.1.3)
major releases NEED a dump
(7.1.3 to 7.2)

It is good to read the changelogs
There are many changes
I thing bruce momijan said there are changes for 5 releases :)

saw the update, thought id take a trip to the dbforums to see if anyone has posted :) and they have.. yippeee!! :D

Are there any noticable performance gains over 7.1.3? Any new bad bugs etc?

Any nifty new features? :D
