MySQL 5.1 was in RC stage for around 10 months now finally planned to be released as GA soon. As Monty Says MySQL 5.1.26 will be renamed as GA if no serious bugs are discovered.

Lets help MySQL to ensure GA release will be indeed GA quality and support Monty in his call to ensure this RC candidate works well for you.

If you know about any bugs in MySQL 5.1 or MySQL 5.0 (which are still unfixed in MySQL 5.1) make sure to report them on bugs.mysql.com. If there are some bugs already reported but still not fixed as of MySQL 5.1.26 make sure to post a comment to let MySQL know the bug is affecting you as well. The scream factor is important for bug fix prioritization so if you can make a story of your suffering because of the bug to slashdot you should be quite good.
