[TommyBALL]

MySQL 4.1.7 was just released, and I noticed at the same time that 4.1 is now GA (Generaly Available) and the recommended release according to MySQL AB.

anyone using it with vb yet?

Workin great for me so far. Much faster and no troubles with VB yet. I woke up to a php/mysql dead server though. Seems they changed the name of the init script and my HSP control panel couldn't read it. So upon restart after log cleanup in the wee hours of the morning it crashed. No biggie. Just changed the init script and recompiled PHP and all is good. Very nice and I'm looking forward to using the new feature set.

I'll wait a little bit more and wait for more comments about it working with vbulletin.

Right now 4.0.20 is working flawlessy for me and I don't want to break anything!

Are we talking as fast or faster then 4.0.X? Be honest. ;)

I'm not sure that there is much in the changelog that would suggest a speed improvement

but it is difficult to tell

thanks for the heads up... will need to wait for thumbs up from vB devs before recommending it for vB2.x/3.x usage :)
