		The major difference between release 3.23 and releases 3.22 and 3.21 is that
		3.23 contains a new ISAM library (MyISAM), which is more tuned for SQL
		than the old ISAM was.

		The 3.23 release is under development, and things will be added at a
		fast pace to it. For the moment we recommend this version only for
		users that desperately need a new feature that is found only in this
		release (like big file support and machine-independent tables). (Note
		that all new functionality in @strong{MySQL} 3.23 is extensively tested, but as
		this release involves much new code, it's difficult to test everything).
		The 3.23 release has several major new features that are not
		present in the 3.22 or 3.21 releases. We have added two new
		table types: MyISAM, a new ISAM library which is tuned for SQL
		and supports large files; and BerkeleyDB which uses the Berkeley
		DB library from Sleepycat Software to implement transaction-safe
		tables. The 3.23 release also includes support for database
		replication between a master and many slaves.

		We are not adding any more new features that are likely to break any
		old code in @strong{MySQL} 3.23 so this version should stabilise pretty soon
		and will soon be declared beta, gamma and release.
		old code in @strong{MySQL} 3.23, so we recommend that you use this
		version. The replication and BerkeleyDB code is still under development,
		though, so 3.23 is not relesed as a stable version yet.
