InnoDB Plugin has been upgraded to version 1.1. This version is considered of Beta quality.

For information about InnoDB Plugin features, see the InnoDB Plugin Manual at http://www.innodb.com/products/innodb_plugin/plugin-documentation. For general information about using InnoDB in MySQL, see Section 13.6, “The InnoDB Storage Engine”.

InnoDB Plugin now has a innodb_use_native_aio system variable that can be disabled at startup if there is a problem with the asynchronous I/O subsystem in the OS. This variable applies to Linux systems only.
