The InnoDB Team is glad to announce the availability of the early adopter release of the InnoDB Plugin 1.0.2. This new version of the InnoDB Plugin is designed to work with the recently announced General Availability release of MySQL, version 5.1.30. Sources and binaries for the InnoDB Plugin can be downloaded from here. The full user manual is available online and for download.

For the first time, you can dynamically install a binary library containing the InnoDB Plugin into MySQL 5.1.30 for Windows (just as is possible on other platforms). This means you do not need to build from source; simply use the MySQL INSTALL command to load the dynamic library (ha_innodb.dll) to take over from the built-in InnoDB. See the online documentation for details.

This release also includes a few new features, including the ability to control index cardinality estimates, and making some configuration parameters dynamically settable. Numerous bugs were fixed, including those reported in the MySQL database, as well as those internally detected. This release also reflects all other changes made in MySQL through version 5.1.30.

A full list of changes between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 is available in the documentation and in the online ChangeLog.

Binaries have been compiled against MySQL 5.1.30 and can be plugged in dynamically only to that version.
Source is compatible with MySQL 5.1.23 or greater.

Please report your comments and any problems or issues with the InnoDB Plugin in the InnoDB Forums or in the MySQL bug database.

Thank you, and enjoy!
