Thread: MySQL Enterprise - Community split
I hope that this list is OK for rumors/information about competitor moves. http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/12/29/where-to-get-recent-mysql-version/ It may be old news for others, but at least I didn't know about the "Recent Policies" at MySQL. -- Med venlig hilsen Kaare Rasmussen, Jasonic Jasonic Telefon: +45 3816 2582 Nordre Fasanvej 12 2000 Frederiksberg Email: kaare@jasonic.dk

I am in contact with mysql ab community department to get some clarifications. If you look at the initial announcement from Kaj, it never discusses anything in the direction of not providing binaries anymore. In the past MySQL AB was always very keen to get OSS users to use their binaries to make bug handling easier. Also Windows users (the bulk of LAMP development is done on WAMP) obviously need those binaries. So this is a big issue indeed. regards, Lukas

Ok, the situation is that they are only doing new binaries for the community stuff 4-6 times a year. So there is just a delay with new binaries that will likely result in skipping versions from the Enterprise tree. regards, Lukas
