documentation pages).

Hi,
New mysql 5.5 (.8 at this moment) is going to be included into Th. Be
warned (as upgrading to it requires proper procedure described on
mysql.com documentation pages).

I'm running 5.5 on few hosts (including one with 30GB database) and there is
no problem.

Remember that if you want to upgrade without dump & restore you have to
upgrade from series to next series for example:

4.1 -> 5.0; run mysql_upgrade script
5.0 -> 5.1; run mysql_upgrade script
5.1 -> 5.5; run mysql_upgrade script

You cannot upgrade directly from 5.0 to 5.5 for example.

5.5 will land in main this week.
