Sandboxie 3.60

Tired of dealing with rogue software, spyware and malware? Spent too many hours removing unsolicited software? Worried about clicking unfamiliar Web links? Introducing Sandboxie: Sandboxie runs your programs in an isolated space which prevents them from making permanent changes to other programs and data in your computer.


Benefits of the Isolated Sandbox

• Secure Web Browsing: Running your Web browser under the protection of Sandboxie means that all malicious software downloaded by the browser is trapped in the sandbox and can be discarded trivially.
• Enhanced Privacy: Browsing history, cookies, and cached temporary files collected while Web browsing stay in the sandbox and don't leak into Windows.
• Secure E-mail: Viruses and other malicious software that might be hiding in your email can't break out of the sandbox and can't infect your real system.
• Windows Stays Lean: Prevent wear-and-tear in Windows by installing software into an isolated sandbox.

VirtualBox 4.1.6.74713

VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.Some of the features of VirtualBox are:


* Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox.
* Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

Change Log:

# Bugs Fixed :
* InnoDB Storage Engine: This fix improves the performance of instrumentation code for InnoDB buffer pool operations.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: Data from BLOB columns could be lost if the server crashed at a precise moment when other columns were being updated in an InnoDB table.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: Lookups using secondary indexes could give incorrect matches under a specific set of conditions. The conditions involve an index defined on a column prefix, for a BLOB or other long column stored outside the index page, with a table using the Barracuda file format.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: This fix corrects cases where the MySQL server could hang or abort with a long semaphore wait message. (This is a different issue than when these symptoms occurred during a CHECK TABLE statement.)
* Internal conversion of zero to binary and back could yield a result with incorrect precision.
* Valgrind warnings generated by filesort operations were fixed.
* mysqld_safe did not properly check for an already running instance of mysqld.
* The help message for mysql_install_db did not indicate that it supports the --defaults-file, --defaults-extra-file and --no-defaults options.
* An assertion designed to detect zero-length sort keys also was raised when the entire key set fit in memory.
* myisampack could create corrupt FULLTEXT indexes when compressing tables.
* A linking problem prevented the FEDERATED storage engine plugin from loading.

Change Log:

# Bugs fixed:

* Incompatible Change: When auto_increment_increment is greater than one, values generated by a bulk insert that reaches the maximum column value could wrap around rather producing an overflow error.
As a consequence of the fix, it is no longer possible for an auto-generated value to be equal to the maximum BIGINT UNSIGNED value. It is still possible to store that value manually, if the column can accept it. (Bug#39828)
* Important Change: Partitioning: Date and time functions used as partitioning functions now have the types of their operands checked; use of a value of the wrong type is now disallowed in such cases. In addition, EXTRACT(WEEK FROM col), where col is a DATE or DATETIME column, is now disallowed altogether because its return value depends on the value of the default_week_format system variable. (Bug#54483)
See also Bug#57071.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: A compilation problem affected the InnoDB source code on NetBSD/sparc64. (Bug#59327)
See also Bug#53916.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: In InnoDB status output, the value for I/O sum[] could be incorrect, displayed as a very large number. (Bug#57600)
* InnoDB Storage Engine: It was not possible to query the information_schema.innodb_trx table while other connections were running queries involving BLOB types. (Bug#55397)
* InnoDB Storage Engine: The OPTIMIZE TABLE statement would reset the auto-increment counter for an InnoDB table. Now the auto-increment value is preserved across this operation. (Bug#18274)
* Partitioning: Failed ALTER TABLE ... PARTITION statements could cause memory leaks. (Bug#56380)
See also Bug#46949, Bug#56996.
* Replication: When closing a session that used temporary tables, binary logging could sometimes fail with a spurious Failed to write the DROP statement for temporary tables to binary log. (Bug#57288)
* Replication: By default, a value is generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by inserting either NULL or 0 into the column. Setting the NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO server SQL mode suppresses this behavior for 0, so that it occurs only when NULL is inserted into the column.
This behavior is also followed on a replication slave (by the slave SQL thread) when applying events that have been logged on the master using the statement-based format. However, when applying events that had been logged using the row-based format, NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO was ignored, which could lead to an assertion.
To fix this issue, the value of an AUTO_INCREMENT column is no longer generated when applying an event that was logged using the row-based row format, as this value is already contained in the changes applied on the slave. (Bug#56662)
* Replication: The BINLOG statement modified the values of session variables, which could lead to problems with operations such a point-in-time recovery. One such case occurred when replaying a row-based binary log which relied on setting foreign_key_checks = OFF on the session level in order to create and populate a set of InnoDB tables having foreign key constraints. (Bug#54903)
* Replication: mysqlbinlog printed USE statements to its output only when the default database changed between events. To illustrate how this could cause problems, suppose that a user issued the following sequence of statements:
CREATE DATABASE mydb;
USE mydb;
CREATE TABLE mytable (column_definitions);
DROP DATABASE mydb;
CREATE DATABASE mydb;
USE mydb;
CREATE TABLE mytable (column_definitions);

When played back using mysqlbinlog, the second CREATE TABLE statement failed with Error: No Database Selected because the second USE statement was not played back, due to the fact that a database other than mydb was never selected.
This fix insures that mysqlbinlog outputs a USE statement whenever it reads one from the binary log. (Bug#50914)
* Replication: Previously, when a statement failed with a different error on the slave than on the master, the slave SQL thread displayed a message containing:
- The error message for the master error code
- The master error code
- The error message for the slaves error code
- The slave error code
However, the slave has no information with which to fill in any print format specifiers for the master message, so it actually displayed the message format string. To make it clearer that the slave is not displaying the actual message as it appears on the master, the slave now indicates that the master part of the output is the message format, not the actual message. For example, previously the slave displayed information like this:
Error: "Query caused different errors on master and slave. Error on master: 'Duplicate entry '%-.192s' for key %d' (1062), Error on slave: 'no error' (0). Default database: 'test'. Query: 'insert into t1 values(1),(2)'" (expected different error codes on master and slave)
Now the slave displays this:
Error: "Query caused different errors on master and slave. Error on master: message format='Duplicate entry '%-.192s' for key %d' error code=1062 ; Error on slave: actual message='no error', error code=0. Default database: 'test'. Query: 'insert into t1 values(1),(2)'" (expected different error codes on master and slave) (Bug#46697)
* Replication: When an error occurred in the generation of the name for a new binary log file, the error was logged but not shown to the user. (Bug#46166)
See also Bug#37148, Bug#40611, Bug#43929, Bug#51019.
* MIN(year_col) could return an incorrect result in some cases. (Bug#59211)
* If max_allowed_packet was set larger than 16MB, the server failed to reject too-large packets with “Packet too large” errors. (Bug#58887)
* Issuing EXPLAIN EXTENDED for a query that would use condition pushdown could cause mysqld to crash. (Bug#58553)
* EXPLAIN could crash for queries that used GROUP_CONCAT(). (Bug#58396)
* Configuration with maintainer mode enabled resulted in errors when compiling with icc. (Bug#57991, Bug#58871)
* Unnecessary subquery evaluation in contexts such as statement preparation or view creation could cause a server crash. (Bug#57703)
* View creation could produce Valgrind warnings. (Bug#57352)
* NULL geometry values could cause a crash in Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec. (Bug#57321)
* The cp1251 character set did not properly support the Euro sign (0x88). For example, converting a string containing this character to utf8 resulted in '?' rather than the utf8 Euro sign. (Bug#56639)
* Some unsigned system variables could be displayed with negative values. (Bug#55794)
* CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE caused mysql --one-database to lose track of the statement-filtering context. (Bug#54899)
* An assertion could be raised during concurrent execution of DROP DATABASE and REPAIR TABLE if the drop deleted a table's .TMD file at the same time the repair tried to read details from the old file that was just removed.
A problem could also occur when DROP TABLE tried to remove all files belonging to a table at the same time REPAIR TABLE had just deleted the table's .TMD file. (Bug#54486)
* When mysqld printed crash dump information, it incorrectly indicated that some valid pointers were invalid. (Bug#51817)
* On FreeBSD, if mysqld was killed with a SIGHUP signal, it could corrupt InnoDB .ibd files. (Bug#51023)
* An assertion could be raised if –1 was inserted into an AUTO_INCREMENT column by a statement writing more than one row. (Bug#50619)
* If a client supplied a user name longer than the maximum 16 characters allowed for names stored in the MySQL grant tables, all characters were being considered significant. Historically, only the first 16 characters were used to check for a match; this behavior was restored. (Bug#49752)
* The my_seek() and my_tell() functions ignored the MY_WME flag when they returned an error, which could cause client programs to hang. (Bug#48451)
* During assignment of values to system variables, legality checks on the value range occurred too late, preventing proper error checking. (Bug#43233)
* On Solaris, time-related functions such as NOW() or SYSDATE() could return a constant value. (Bug#42054)
* If the remote server for a FEDERATED table could not be accessed, queries for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table failed. (Bug#35333)

Change Log:

# Bugs fixed:

* Incompatible Change: When auto_increment_increment is greater than one, values generated by a bulk insert that reaches the maximum column value could wrap around rather producing an overflow error.
As a consequence of the fix, it is no longer possible for an auto-generated value to be equal to the maximum BIGINT UNSIGNED value. It is still possible to store that value manually, if the column can accept it. (Bug#39828)
* Important Change: Partitioning: Date and time functions used as partitioning functions now have the types of their operands checked; use of a value of the wrong type is now disallowed in such cases. In addition, EXTRACT(WEEK FROM col), where col is a DATE or DATETIME column, is now disallowed altogether because its return value depends on the value of the default_week_format system variable. (Bug#54483)
See also Bug#57071.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: A compilation problem affected the InnoDB source code on NetBSD/sparc64. (Bug#59327)
See also Bug#53916.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: In InnoDB status output, the value for I/O sum[] could be incorrect, displayed as a very large number. (Bug#57600)
* InnoDB Storage Engine: It was not possible to query the information_schema.innodb_trx table while other connections were running queries involving BLOB types. (Bug#55397)
* InnoDB Storage Engine: The OPTIMIZE TABLE statement would reset the auto-increment counter for an InnoDB table. Now the auto-increment value is preserved across this operation. (Bug#18274)
* Partitioning: Failed ALTER TABLE ... PARTITION statements could cause memory leaks. (Bug#56380)
See also Bug#46949, Bug#56996.
* Replication: When closing a session that used temporary tables, binary logging could sometimes fail with a spurious Failed to write the DROP statement for temporary tables to binary log. (Bug#57288)
* Replication: By default, a value is generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by inserting either NULL or 0 into the column. Setting the NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO server SQL mode suppresses this behavior for 0, so that it occurs only when NULL is inserted into the column.
This behavior is also followed on a replication slave (by the slave SQL thread) when applying events that have been logged on the master using the statement-based format. However, when applying events that had been logged using the row-based format, NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO was ignored, which could lead to an assertion.
To fix this issue, the value of an AUTO_INCREMENT column is no longer generated when applying an event that was logged using the row-based row format, as this value is already contained in the changes applied on the slave. (Bug#56662)
* Replication: The BINLOG statement modified the values of session variables, which could lead to problems with operations such a point-in-time recovery. One such case occurred when replaying a row-based binary log which relied on setting foreign_key_checks = OFF on the session level in order to create and populate a set of InnoDB tables having foreign key constraints. (Bug#54903)
* Replication: mysqlbinlog printed USE statements to its output only when the default database changed between events. To illustrate how this could cause problems, suppose that a user issued the following sequence of statements:
CREATE DATABASE mydb;
USE mydb;
CREATE TABLE mytable (column_definitions);
DROP DATABASE mydb;
CREATE DATABASE mydb;
USE mydb;
CREATE TABLE mytable (column_definitions);

When played back using mysqlbinlog, the second CREATE TABLE statement failed with Error: No Database Selected because the second USE statement was not played back, due to the fact that a database other than mydb was never selected.
This fix insures that mysqlbinlog outputs a USE statement whenever it reads one from the binary log. (Bug#50914)
* Replication: Previously, when a statement failed with a different error on the slave than on the master, the slave SQL thread displayed a message containing:
- The error message for the master error code
- The master error code
- The error message for the slaves error code
- The slave error code
However, the slave has no information with which to fill in any print format specifiers for the master message, so it actually displayed the message format string. To make it clearer that the slave is not displaying the actual message as it appears on the master, the slave now indicates that the master part of the output is the message format, not the actual message. For example, previously the slave displayed information like this:
Error: "Query caused different errors on master and slave. Error on master: 'Duplicate entry '%-.192s' for key %d' (1062), Error on slave: 'no error' (0). Default database: 'test'. Query: 'insert into t1 values(1),(2)'" (expected different error codes on master and slave)
Now the slave displays this:
Error: "Query caused different errors on master and slave. Error on master: message format='Duplicate entry '%-.192s' for key %d' error code=1062 ; Error on slave: actual message='no error', error code=0. Default database: 'test'. Query: 'insert into t1 values(1),(2)'" (expected different error codes on master and slave) (Bug#46697)
* Replication: When an error occurred in the generation of the name for a new binary log file, the error was logged but not shown to the user. (Bug#46166)
See also Bug#37148, Bug#40611, Bug#43929, Bug#51019.
* MIN(year_col) could return an incorrect result in some cases. (Bug#59211)
* If max_allowed_packet was set larger than 16MB, the server failed to reject too-large packets with “Packet too large” errors. (Bug#58887)
* Issuing EXPLAIN EXTENDED for a query that would use condition pushdown could cause mysqld to crash. (Bug#58553)
* EXPLAIN could crash for queries that used GROUP_CONCAT(). (Bug#58396)
* Configuration with maintainer mode enabled resulted in errors when compiling with icc. (Bug#57991, Bug#58871)
* Unnecessary subquery evaluation in contexts such as statement preparation or view creation could cause a server crash. (Bug#57703)
* View creation could produce Valgrind warnings. (Bug#57352)
* NULL geometry values could cause a crash in Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec. (Bug#57321)
* The cp1251 character set did not properly support the Euro sign (0x88). For example, converting a string containing this character to utf8 resulted in '?' rather than the utf8 Euro sign. (Bug#56639)
* Some unsigned system variables could be displayed with negative values. (Bug#55794)
* CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE caused mysql --one-database to lose track of the statement-filtering context. (Bug#54899)
* An assertion could be raised during concurrent execution of DROP DATABASE and REPAIR TABLE if the drop deleted a table's .TMD file at the same time the repair tried to read details from the old file that was just removed.
A problem could also occur when DROP TABLE tried to remove all files belonging to a table at the same time REPAIR TABLE had just deleted the table's .TMD file. (Bug#54486)
* When mysqld printed crash dump information, it incorrectly indicated that some valid pointers were invalid. (Bug#51817)
* On FreeBSD, if mysqld was killed with a SIGHUP signal, it could corrupt InnoDB .ibd files. (Bug#51023)
* An assertion could be raised if –1 was inserted into an AUTO_INCREMENT column by a statement writing more than one row. (Bug#50619)
* If a client supplied a user name longer than the maximum 16 characters allowed for names stored in the MySQL grant tables, all characters were being considered significant. Historically, only the first 16 characters were used to check for a match; this behavior was restored. (Bug#49752)

* On Solaris, time-related functions such as NOW() or SYSDATE() could return a constant value. (Bug#42054)
* If the remote server for a FEDERATED table could not be accessed, queries for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table failed. (Bug#35333)

VirtualBox 4.0.4.70112

VirtualBox is a general-purpose full virtualizer for x86 hardware. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software.

Some of the features of VirtualBox are:

* Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox.
* Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

Change Log:

# Resolved Issues
- When you install VMware Player on an operating system that uses a post-2.6.34 Linux kernel, the vmmon module fails to compile.
- The vmxnet and vsock guest modules fail to compile on operating systems that use post-2.6.32 Linux kernels.
- When you install VMware Tools on an operating system that uses a post-2.6.34 Linux kernel, the vsock.ko module fails to build.
- Unity mode does not work with an Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit guest operating system.
- An unrecoverable error occurs when you select the Novell NetWare, Sun Solaris, or Other guest operating system type in the New Virtual Machine wizard.

# Software Updates
- The known issues under this section is only applicable when upgrading from the VMware Player 3.1 release candidate to the current VMware Player 3.1 release.
* Upgrading VMware Player on non-English versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7 hosts might cause the vmUpdateLauncher.exe program to fail and trigger high CPU and memory usage.Workaround: In the %PROGRAMFILES%\VMware\VMware Player directory, replace the vmUpdateLauncher.exe file with the one available on VMware Communities.

# Installation, Upgrade, and Compatibility
- The WDDM graphics driver included in the VMware Player 3.1 release is not compatible with VMware Player 3.0 and earlier releases. To run a virtual machine in an older version of VMware Player, revert to the previous version of the WDDM driver.
* Workaround: Uninstall the current version of VMware Tools and install the previously released version.
- On Windows hosts, if VMware applications or virtual machines are running under a different user, then the current user might not be able to upgrade VMware Player concurrently.
- On Linux hosts, changes to the System proxy settings and Manual proxy settings might take effect after you restart VMware Player.
- On Windows Server 2008 hosts, if you are not logged in as an Administrative user or your group policy disallows .msi installers, VMware Player and VMware Tools update might fail.
- In some instances, using Easy Install to create a virtual machine with Kubuntu 10.04 might result in a blank screen after the virtual machine restarts for the first time.
* Workaround: Restart the virtual machine.
- Installing the Linux version of VMware Player in a directory where the path contains spaces, might cause the OVF Tool to launch incorrectly.
> Workaround: To launch the OVF Tool, implement one of the following workarounds:
* Install the Linux version of VMware Player in a directory path without spaces.
* Edit line 23 of the ovftool script to contain the following command: "$OVFTOOL_BIN" "$@".
- On SUSE 11.2 and possibly other Linux distributions, the sudo command does not preserve the DISPLAY environment, which could cause the VMware Player installer user interface to fail.
* Workaround: To preserve the DISPLAY environment add Defaults env_keep+="DISPLAY" to the /etc/sudoers file.
- Installing VMware Player in a directory path that contains non-ASCII characters might cause an unsuccessful installation or cause guest application shortcuts to become unresponsive when you try to open them.
* Workaround: Install VMware Player in a directory path containing only ASCII characters.


# Display
- In some cases, entering Unity mode on Windows 7 virtual machines with Aero configured to use more than two monitors could disable migration of Unity windows between monitors.
* Workaround: Exit and reenter Unity mode.
- Exiting FIFA 08 game on Windows 7 guests and hosts with Aero enabled, might cause the desktop wallpaper to turn black.
- Running OpenGL applications using full screen view across multiple displays on a Windows XP virtual machine might fail.
- There are known issues with the ATI Linux driver 10.2. VMware recommends that you use ATI Linux driver 9.11 for the best 3D user experience.
- On Fedora 13 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 virtual machines, Unity mode might not support maximizing virtual machine application windows.
- When running Left 4 Dead application, transitioning the virtual machine between console view and full screen mode, might cause the application to display incorrectly.
* Workaround: Restart the application to restore display.

# Miscellaneous
- Running a virtual machine on a Linux host with grsecurity patches might cause the host to restart unexpectedly.
- Running a script event as root to suspend Fedora 13 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Beta 2 guest operating systems might not suspend the guests.
* Workaround: To suspend the Fedora 13 guest, apply a policy file greater than selinux-policy-3.7.19-57.fc13.
- Attempting to restore a virtual machine snapshot on a host with Diskeeper 2010 installed might fail.
* Workaround: Upgrade to Diskeeper 2010 version 14.0.898.0 or later.
- On Ubuntu 10.04 hosts, powering on a virtual machine with ThinPrint enabled might fail with the error message "thnuclnt: relocation error: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnss_files.so.2: symbol strcmp, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference".
- Using fast user switching might cause unpredictable behavior in the Windows virtual machine, including problems with the mouse and with CPU usage.
* Workaround: Allow the Windows guest operating system to start and reach an idle state before you log in to the first user account.
- Printer device might not work on Ubuntu 10.04 hosts.
* Workaround: Manually configure the network or USB printer to print from the virtual machine.
- Converter does not support virtual disk size that exceeds 950GB.
* Workaround: Change the disk size value to 950GB.

Change Log:

# Bugs fixed:

* Incompatible Change: When auto_increment_increment is greater than one, values generated by a bulk insert that reaches the maximum column value could wrap around rather producing an overflow error.
As a consequence of the fix, it is no longer possible for an auto-generated value to be equal to the maximum BIGINT UNSIGNED value. It is still possible to store that value manually, if the column can accept it. (Bug#39828)
* Important Change: Partitioning: Date and time functions used as partitioning functions now have the types of their operands checked; use of a value of the wrong type is now disallowed in such cases. In addition, EXTRACT(WEEK FROM col), where col is a DATE or DATETIME column, is now disallowed altogether because its return value depends on the value of the default_week_format system variable. (Bug#54483)
See also Bug#57071.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: A compilation problem affected the InnoDB source code on NetBSD/sparc64. (Bug#59327)
See also Bug#53916.
* InnoDB Storage Engine: In InnoDB status output, the value for I/O sum[] could be incorrect, displayed as a very large number. (Bug#57600)
* InnoDB Storage Engine: It was not possible to query the information_schema.innodb_trx table while other connections were running queries involving BLOB types. (Bug#55397)
* InnoDB Storage Engine: The OPTIMIZE TABLE statement would reset the auto-increment counter for an InnoDB table. Now the auto-increment value is preserved across this operation. (Bug#18274)
* Partitioning: Failed ALTER TABLE ... PARTITION statements could cause memory leaks. (Bug#56380)
See also Bug#46949, Bug#56996.
* Replication: When closing a session that used temporary tables, binary logging could sometimes fail with a spurious Failed to write the DROP statement for temporary tables to binary log. (Bug#57288)
* Replication: By default, a value is generated for an AUTO_INCREMENT column by inserting either NULL or 0 into the column. Setting the NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO server SQL mode suppresses this behavior for 0, so that it occurs only when NULL is inserted into the column.
This behavior is also followed on a replication slave (by the slave SQL thread) when applying events that have been logged on the master using the statement-based format. However, when applying events that had been logged using the row-based format, NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO was ignored, which could lead to an assertion.
To fix this issue, the value of an AUTO_INCREMENT column is no longer generated when applying an event that was logged using the row-based row format, as this value is already contained in the changes applied on the slave. (Bug#56662)
* Replication: The BINLOG statement modified the values of session variables, which could lead to problems with operations such a point-in-time recovery. One such case occurred when replaying a row-based binary log which relied on setting foreign_key_checks = OFF on the session level in order to create and populate a set of InnoDB tables having foreign key constraints. (Bug#54903)
* Replication: mysqlbinlog printed USE statements to its output only when the default database changed between events. To illustrate how this could cause problems, suppose that a user issued the following sequence of statements:
CREATE DATABASE mydb;
USE mydb;
CREATE TABLE mytable (column_definitions);
DROP DATABASE mydb;
CREATE DATABASE mydb;
USE mydb;
CREATE TABLE mytable (column_definitions);

When played back using mysqlbinlog, the second CREATE TABLE statement failed with Error: No Database Selected because the second USE statement was not played back, due to the fact that a database other than mydb was never selected.
This fix insures that mysqlbinlog outputs a USE statement whenever it reads one from the binary log. (Bug#50914)
* Replication: Previously, when a statement failed with a different error on the slave than on the master, the slave SQL thread displayed a message containing:
- The error message for the master error code
- The master error code
- The error message for the slaves error code
- The slave error code
However, the slave has no information with which to fill in any print format specifiers for the master message, so it actually displayed the message format string. To make it clearer that the slave is not displaying the actual message as it appears on the master, the slave now indicates that the master part of the output is the message format, not the actual message. For example, previously the slave displayed information like this:
Error: "Query caused different errors on master and slave. Error on master: 'Duplicate entry '%-.192s' for key %d' (1062), Error on slave: 'no error' (0). Default database: 'test'. Query: 'insert into t1 values(1),(2)'" (expected different error codes on master and slave)
Now the slave displays this:
Error: "Query caused different errors on master and slave. Error on master: message format='Duplicate entry '%-.192s' for key %d' error code=1062 ; Error on slave: actual message='no error', error code=0. Default database: 'test'. Query: 'insert into t1 values(1),(2)'" (expected different error codes on master and slave) (Bug#46697)
* Replication: When an error occurred in the generation of the name for a new binary log file, the error was logged but not shown to the user. (Bug#46166)
See also Bug#37148, Bug#40611, Bug#43929, Bug#51019.
* MIN(year_col) could return an incorrect result in some cases. (Bug#59211)
* If max_allowed_packet was set larger than 16MB, the server failed to reject too-large packets with “Packet too large” errors. (Bug#58887)
* Issuing EXPLAIN EXTENDED for a query that would use condition pushdown could cause mysqld to crash. (Bug#58553)
* EXPLAIN could crash for queries that used GROUP_CONCAT(). (Bug#58396)
* Configuration with maintainer mode enabled resulted in errors when compiling with icc. (Bug#57991, Bug#58871)
* Unnecessary subquery evaluation in contexts such as statement preparation or view creation could cause a server crash. (Bug#57703)
* View creation could produce Valgrind warnings. (Bug#57352)
* NULL geometry values could cause a crash in Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec. (Bug#57321)
* The cp1251 character set did not properly support the Euro sign (0x88). For example, converting a string containing this character to utf8 resulted in '?' rather than the utf8 Euro sign. (Bug#56639)
* Some unsigned system variables could be displayed with negative values. (Bug#55794)
* CREATE DATABASE and DROP DATABASE caused mysql --one-database to lose track of the statement-filtering context. (Bug#54899)
* An assertion could be raised during concurrent execution of DROP DATABASE and REPAIR TABLE if the drop deleted a table's .TMD file at the same time the repair tried to read details from the old file that was just removed.
A problem could also occur when DROP TABLE tried to remove all files belonging to a table at the same time REPAIR TABLE had just deleted the table's .TMD file. (Bug#54486)
* When mysqld printed crash dump information, it incorrectly indicated that some valid pointers were invalid. (Bug#51817)
* On FreeBSD, if mysqld was killed with a SIGHUP signal, it could corrupt InnoDB .ibd files. (Bug#51023)
* An assertion could be raised if –1 was inserted into an AUTO_INCREMENT column by a statement writing more than one row. (Bug#50619)
* If a client supplied a user name longer than the maximum 16 characters allowed for names stored in the MySQL grant tables, all characters were being considered significant. Historically, only the first 16 characters were used to check for a match; this behavior was restored. (Bug#49752)
* The my_seek() and my_tell() functions ignored the MY_WME flag when they returned an error, which could cause client programs to hang. (Bug#48451)
* During assignment of values to system variables, legality checks on the value range occurred too late, preventing proper error checking. (Bug#43233)
* On Solaris, time-related functions such as NOW() or SYSDATE() could return a constant value. (Bug#42054)
* If the remote server for a FEDERATED table could not be accessed, queries for the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES table failed. (Bug#35333)

SlickEdit 2009 14.0.1.2

SlickEdit is the essential development environment with the most advanced code editor available. Whether used as a stand alone development environment or as a complementary editor, SlickEdit enables developers and development teams to create, navigate, modify, build, run and debug code faster and more accurately. SlickEdit is a useful code editor utility which will come in handy.


Here are some key features of "SlickEdit":

· Code Navigation
Use (Ctrl .) to jump from a symbol to the symbol definition. Use (Ctrl /) to list all of the references for the current symbol and optionally jump to the first reference. These operations set a bookmark that can be popped to return you to the previous location (Ctrl ,).

· Symbol View
Select the Symbol window to display the definition of the current symbol in the editor window, allowing you to see the definition without having to open a separate buffer.

· References View
Displays the list of references for a symbol when you use (Ctrl /). You can also use the Symbol dropdown list to enter a symbol or access recently viewed symbols.

· Syntax Expansion
Expands common block structures when initial keywords are typed. When "if" is typed followed by a space, SlickEdit completes the rest of the statement. This works with other common structures, such as: for, while, do, and try. Additional structures can also be defined.

· Surround With
Use to surround existing lines of code with a new structure such as: if, for, while, and try. The existing code is automatically placed inside braces and indented. Additional structures can also be defined for Surround With.

· Completions
Along with the usual tag-driven completions, you can use the complete-prev command (Ctrl Shift ,) and complete-next command (Ctrl Shift .) to search backward or forward in the current buffer for a matching string. Use the complete-more command (Ctrl Shift Space) to insert additional text from the matching location.

· Editable, Dynamic Diff Tool
Use to compare directories and files. When two files are displayed, you can edit the content using many of the editing features available in SlickEdit. The file is automatically updated as you edit.

· Aliases
Define short names that can be expanded to insert text into a file or directory paths in SlickEdit, with (Ctrl Space). Aliases can automatically insert the date, time, cursor placement and prompt for parameters.

· SmartPaste
Use to automatically indent the code selection you are pasting to match the indentation format of the new location. If the selection contains multiple lines, each line is correctly formatted to match the new location.

· Backup History
Use to store each version of each file when it is saved, enabling you to view, compare, and restore previous versions without having to use source control.

· Smart Line Selections
Line selections are pasted above or below the current line of code (depends upon Option settings), saving you from tediously positioning the cursor at the beginning or end of a line prior to pasting your line of code.

· Syntax-driven Searching
Use to reduce the number of false positives in your searches by restricting searches based on program syntax. For example, you can limit a search to find or omit comments, as well as restrict or omit string literals.

· Emulations
Choose from thirteen keyboard emulations for other editors. Emulations contain the key bindings and behaviors necessary to emulate another editor.

· Recorded and Programmable Macros
Use macros to automate frequently repeated tasks. Recorded macros capture a sequence of operations as you apply them and can be executed at a later time. Programmable macros use the SlickEdit Slick-C programming language to customize and extend the functionality of SlickEdit.


Requirements:

· 170 MB disk space


Limitations:

· 15 days

Change Log

· The Smart Open capabilities of the Open tool window have been enhanced for better performance.
· The Diff dialog has seen some further enhancements to improve usability and better support the new Code Diff functionality.
· Upgrading from v14.0 with certain menu customizations caused a Slick-C stack.
· Removed an optimization in Diff for when Skip Leading Comments is on. This optimization was causing crashes. We plan to release this feature in a future version.
· Please see the readme notes for the complete list of fixes and enhancements.

PHP for Windows 5.3.0

PHP started as a quick Perl hack written by Rasmus Lerdorf in late 1994. Over the next two to three years, it evolved into what we today know as PHP/FI 2.0. PHP for Windows is a quick Perl hack tool.
PHP/FI started to get a lot of users, but things didn`t start flying until Zeev Suraski and Andi Gutmans suddenly came along with a new parser in the summer of 1997, leading to PHP 3.0. PHP 3.0 defined the syntax and semantics used in both versions 3 and 4.

Python 3.1.1

Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days.

Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code.

Python runs on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2, Amiga, Palm Handhelds, and Nokia mobile phones. Python has also been ported to the Java and .NET virtual machines.

Python is distributed under an OSI-approved open source license that makes it free to use, even for commercial products.

Change Log:

Core and Builtins
-------------------

- Issue #6707: dir() on an uninitialized module caused a crash.
- Issue #6540: Fixed crash for bytearray.translate() with invalid parameters.
- Issue #6573: set.union() stopped processing inputs if an instance of self
occurred in the argument chain.
- Issue #6070: On posix platforms import no longer copies the execute bit
from the .py file to the .pyc file if it is set.
- Issue #6428: Since Python 3.0, the __bool__ method must return a bool
object, and not an int. Fix the corresponding error message, and the
documentation.
- Issue #6347: Include inttypes.h as well as stdint.h in pyport.h.
This fixes a build failure on HP-UX: int32_t and uint32_t are
defined in inttypes.h instead of stdint.h on that platform.
- Issue #6373: Fixed a SystemError when encoding with the latin-1 codec and
the 'surrogateescape' error handler, a string which contains unpaired
surrogates.

C-API
------

- Issue #6624: yArg_ParseTuple with "s" format when parsing argument with
NUL: Bogus TypeError detail string.
- Issue #6405: Remove duplicate type declarations in descrobject.h.
- The code flags for old __future__ features are now available again.

Library
-------

- Issue #6106: telnetlib.Telnet.process_rawq doesn't handle default WILL/WONT
DO/DONT correctly.
- Issue #6126: Fixed pdb command-line usage.
- Issue #6629: Fix a data corruption issue in the new I/O library, which could
occur when writing to a BufferedRandom object (e.g. a file opened in "rb+" or
"wb+" mode) after having buffered a certain amount of data for reading. This
bug was not present in the pure Python implementation.
- Issue #6622: Fix "local variable 'secret' referenced before
assignment" bug in POP3.apop.
- Issue #6637: defaultdict.copy() did not work when the default factory
was left unspecified. Also, the eval/repr round-trip would fail when
the default_factory was None.
- Issue #2715: Remove remnants of Carbon.File from binhex module.
- Issue #6595: The Decimal constructor now allows arbitrary Unicode
decimal digits in input, as recommended by the standard. Previously
it was restricted to accepting [0-9].

unconditionally calling "os.close(sys.stdin.fileno())" resulting in file
descriptor errors
- Issue #1424152: Fix for http.client, urllib.request to support SSL while
working through proxy. Original patch by Christopher Li, changes made by
Senthil Kumaran
- importlib.abc.PyLoader did not inherit from importlib.abc.ResourceLoader like
the documentation said it did even though the code in PyLoader relied on the
abstract method required by ResourceLoader.
- Issue #6431: Make Fraction type return NotImplemented when it doesn't
know how to handle a comparison without loss of precision. Also add
correct handling of infinities and nans for comparisons with float.
- Issue #6415: Fixed warnings.warn segfault on bad formatted string.

- Issue #6344: Fixed a crash of mmap.read() when passed a negative argument.
- Issue #4005: Fixed a crash of pydoc when there was a zip file present in
sys.path.

Extension Modules
---------------------

- Fix a segfault in expat.
- Issue #4509: array.array objects are no longer modified after an operation
failing due to the resize restriction in-place when the object has exported
buffers.

Build
-----

- Issue 4601: 'make install' did not set the appropriate permissions on
directories.
- Issue 5390: Add uninstall icon independent of whether file
extensions are installed.

Test
----
