Hi,

We just released a new version of Embedded InnoDB (1.0.3.5325) and I would like to clarify what the version number means.

The core of Embedded InnoDB is based on the InnoDB Plugin and it also contains some auxiliary code to make it standalone, like a shell around the core and the public API functions. Since Embedded InnoDB is based on the InnoDB Plugin, we have decided to denote this in the version number, so the 1.0.3 in 1.0.3.5325 means that it is based on InnoDB Plugin 1.0.3.

Because the auxiliary code and the API are not yet as mature as the InnoDB Plugin itself, we decided to release Embedded InnoDB more often than the InnoDB Plugin until they stabilize. So one more number is needed in the version string to identify each release. This is the last 5325 which represents the revision number in the Embedded InnoDB SVN repository.

You can expect more 1.0.3.x versions, then at some point, when InnoDB Plugin 1.0.4 is released, possibly 1.0.4 or 1.0.4.0 and more 1.0.4.x releases and so on.

Thank you!
