Support for lastest GM version of MySQL 5.1.49
The most recent GA version of MySQL is version 5.1.49 - http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ - yest Build Forge 7.1.1.4+ only lists support for 5.0.x. Please update 7.1.2+ to work with not only 5.0.x but also with the most recent releases of 5.1.x.
Thank you. |

The Build Forge QA team must spend resources testing the version of MySQL we say we support, for this reason it's costly and difficult to explicitly support all versions of a given product. We try to advance the versions we support with major releases, though we sometimes add support for a newer version of a database product due to popular demand for it.
While I don't control the versions that we test against I can tell you that we evaluate each release whether to up those versions. Many of our developers run on Mysql and I myself am on the latest and greatest. However, there are issues with every product from version to version and if you want true enterprise level support then people tend to be shy about moving to the greatest version for very good reasons. I will go ahead and submit an RFE for you for support of a version of Mysql in the 5.1.x line of that product. However, this doesn't guarantee that it will happen, there are still other features that will be weighed against it for business value and timeline constraint.

So how do we get this escalated properly? MySQL 5.1+ is now the standard and version 5.0.x is several years old and enterprise environments will be using the more recent versions.

There hasn't been any movement on this in a few months. What is the plan to get MySQL 5.1 support in 7.1.1.5 fix pack?
