After some glitches - mainly introduced by switching to the new source control system - we are presenting a new release of version 5.0 (built right out of our shiny new bazaar repository). This release has another 17 bugs fixed (along with some additional adjustments to improve usability). While we are already working in parallel at version 5.1 we are constantly fixing the remaining bugs in our present release version.

now it's only the unknown remaining :-)
mysql-test-run now passes for all tests
current plan:
1) will now start on adding error handling in dict,
it shouldnt be that hard (or take that long)
2) i'll (likely) also do the "grand unified state"-patch in dict
(but in 6.4)
aka remove table-state.
3) also now started thinking about add-node
4) maybe I should publish a snapshot...i'll wait to see if I get
any comments
requesting it
---
I missed my normal comments-fishing the last posts.
Will try to keep the spirit (even if comments are few)

If you need to combine two scripts with MySQL
Proxy you have three choices.
- You can manually rewrite the two scripts (good luck!)

To chain two proxies, you need to start one Proxy with the first
Lua script, pointing at the real backend, listening to a
non-standard port. Then you start the second Proxy with the
second Lua script, having the first proxy as a backend, and
listening to the standard proxy port.
It's a difficult and error prone procedure. You would forget
about it, unless there were an easy workaround. And indeed you
