We are proud to present to you the MySQL Server 5.1.24-rc release, a new "release candidate" version of the popular open source database. Changes include:

• Please note that the Federated engine is not built into the MySQL 5.1.24 RC release binaries, but is scheduled to return in the next release, which will be MySQL 5.1.25. The reasons for Federated's omission in 5.1.24 RC includes various quality and timing issues that unfortunately could not be avoided, and we apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
• Windows Installer: Important Change: The data directory now defaults to the Windows Common App Data Folder (on Windows XP, this is ...All UsersApplication Data; on Vista, it is ProgramData). (Bug#34593)
• Replication: Introduced the slave_exec_mode system variable to control whether idempotent or strict mode is used for replication conflict resolution. Idempotent mode suppresses duplicate-key, no-key-found, and some other errors, and is needed for circular replication, multi-master replication, and some other complex replication setups when using MySQL Cluster. Strict mode is the default. (Bug#31609)
