MySQL v5.6.46 for OS/2 & eComStation

Release Notes:

1) Requires a copy of libc066.dll which is available from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.6-csd6.zip 

2) All bug reports should be submitted via the bug tracker at http://mantis.smedley.id.au

3) include and lib directories are not included to save space, but are available on request.

4) Run mysql_upgrade to upgrade Mysql 5.1 or 5.5 tables to the 5.6 format - BACKUP DATA FIRST

5) All OS/2 patches were removed by the MySQL developers in the move from 5.0 to 5.1 - I've reinstated them in this release

A *big* thanks to Yuri Dario who provided his patches for MySQL 4.1.7 which were the basis for this updated port.  You can checkout (and support) Yuri's efforts via his website at http://www.os2power.com/yuri

See the COPYING file for details on the MySQL license

For new users, to create the initial databases, unzip mysql_sample_database.zip in the mysql51 directory which will create a 'data' directory

Remember to set a default password for the initial tables following the instructions at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/default-privileges.html

Changes in this release:

1) Updated 5.5.x sources to 5.6.x

Known Issues:
- limited testing
- no DLL so client util executable sizes are huge
- ????
