The most recent MySQL server I used in a production environment was a 3.23, so in conjunction with reading the 5.0 sources, I saw fit to reread large parts of the documentation to see where updates had happened, fixes were applied, extensions added. Here are some random clippings from the docs that illustrate quirks, changes from MySQL 3.23 (other than those noted in 3.23->4.0, 4.0->4.1, 4.1->5.0 which we'll give a brief tour of at the end) and differences from the standard.

As a service to the busy, here are MySQL Query-browser 1.1.12 and MySQL Administrator 1.0.22a RPMs (SuSE 9.3, MySQL 5).
These are builds from the MySQL download section, not the repository.
Update recommended especially for the Query-Browser; the UI was improved, and I no longer get a crash I used to get with the SuSE binary.

Wherein we'll touch upon the main points of getting, building, and installing MySQL software — the main files and URLs to look at to get the developers' version from the repository, to compile, install and package it — for those living on the bleeding edge who start from scratch, and can't wait …

Seeing the MySQL cluster FAQ always puts a smile on my face.
Little things amuse little minds, I guess.
