MySQL 5.4.1 released

An update has been released for initial preview release of MySQL 5.4.
The release contains scalability improvements and additional DTrace probes for diagnostic troubleshooting on Solaris.

This release does not differ from 5.4.0 except that binary distributions are available for all MySQL-supported platforms, including Windows binaries with scalability improvements enabled. It`s expected that scalability improvements will also benefit users of 64-bit Mac OS X and FreeBSD as well as 64-bit Linux/Solaris/SPARC, and potentially also users of 32-bit versions of these platforms.

Downloads are available at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.4.html
Binaries are available as download for the following platforms:

  • Windows (including 64 bits)
  • Linux
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4 and 5
  • SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and 10
  • Solaris
