Description:
server 5.0.51b was released last week. There is no documentation available on the changes as compared to last community edition (5.0.51a)

1)
This page:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/releasenotes-cs-5-0.html
.. does not descrobe 5.0.51b

2)
The complied HTML help (.CHM) shipped with this server does not mention neither 5.0.51a or 5.0.51b. (or the file does not get replaced when upgrading).

How to repeat:
no .. please don't!

Suggested fix:
Tighten up and fly right!

D.1.1. Release Notes for MySQL Community Server 5.0.51b (24 April
2008)

   This  is a bugfix release for the current production release
   family. It replaces MySQL 5.0.51.

   Bugs fixed:
     * On  Windows,  the  installer attempted to use JScript to
       determine whether the target data directory already existed.
       On Windows Vista x64, this resulted in an error because the
       installer  was attempting to run the JScript in a 32-bit
       engine, which wasn't registered on Vista. The installer no
       longer  uses  JScript but instead relies on a native WiX
       command. (Bug#36103: http://bugs.mysql.com/36103)
     * The MySQL preferences pane did not work to start or stop MySQL
       on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard).
       (Bug#28854: http://bugs.mysql.com/28854)
     * On  Mac  OS  X,  the StartupItem for MySQL did not work.
