MySQL 4.0.24, a new version of the popular Open Source/Free Software
Database Management System, has been released:

This release includes:

• 'InnoDB': Added configuration option and settable global variable 'innodb_autoextend_increment' for setting the size in megabytes by which 'InnoDB' tablespaces are extended when they become full. The default value is 8, corresponding to the fixed increment of 8MB in previous versions of MySQL.Schemas replace the user/user-group feature.
• InnoDB: Do not acquire an internal 'InnoDB' table lock in 'LOCK TABLES' if 'AUTOCOMMIT=1'. This helps in porting old 'MyISAM' applications to `InnoDB'. 'InnoDB' table locks in that case caused deadlocks very easily.
