D.7.5 Changes in release 3.20.14

• If one gives -p or --password option to mysql without an argument, the user is solicited for the password from the tty.
• Added default password from MYSQL_PWD (by Elmar Haneke).
• Added command kill to mysqladmin to kill a specific MySQL thread.
• Sometimes when doing a reconnect on a down connection this succeeded first on second try.
• Fixed adding an AUTO_INCREMENT key with ALTER_TABLE.
• AVG() gave too small value on some SELECT statements with GROUP BY and ORDER BY.
• Added new DATETIME type (by Giovanni Maruzzelli maruzz@matrice.it).
• Fixed that defining DONT_USE_DEFAULT_FIELDS works.
• Changed to use a thread to handle alarms instead of signals on Solaris to avoid race conditions.
• Fixed default length of signed numbers. (George Harvey georgeh@pinacl.co.uk.)
• Allow anything for CREATE INDEX.
• Add prezeros when packing numbers to DATE, TIME and TIMESTAMP.
• Fixed a bug in OR of multiple tables (gave empty set).
• Added many patches to MIT-pthreads. This fixes at least one lookup bug.
