MySQL 3.23.45 fixes shutdown problem

One of the big problems that anyone who wants to use MySQL on OS X faced until now was the inability to safely shutdown the MySQL daemon. Version 3.23.45 was released in the last day or so and fixes this long-standing bug. More information on the changes since the previous version can be found here.

I've downloaded and compiled this version from the source code using some pretty standard configuration options (see below for what I did) and everything appears to be working wonderfully.

Here's the breakdown of my configuration options:

./configure 
--enable-assembler
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql
--with-named-z-libs=/usr/local/libz.a
--with-innodb
--with-mysqld-user=mysql
Then just run the make and make install commands to compile and install the new binaries. I suspect Marc Liyanage will shortly post a precompiled binary installation but if you're somewhat impatient like me, you can always go this route.

As always, more information can be found on the MySQL website.
