Bug #104577	Reference to libmysqld in MySQL 8.0 docs
Submitted:	10 Aug 2021 5:51	Modified:	7 Apr 2022 0:24
Reporter:	Daniël van Eeden (OCA)	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Documentation	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	8.0	OS:	Any
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	embedded, libmysqld

Description:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/features.html has this:
"Provides the server as a separate program for use in a client/server networked environment, and as a library that can be embedded (linked) into standalone applications. Such applications can be used in isolation or in environments where no network is available."

However with https://mysqlserverteam.com/mysql-8-0-retiring-support-for-libmysqld/ in mind this should be changed. Support for libmysqld (even if not fully removed) should no longer be advertised.

How to repeat:
See description.

Hello Daniël,

Thank you for the report and feedback.

regards,
Umesh

Thanks for the report Daniël, the text was modified accordingly. All reference manual versions share this text, but given it was deprecated in 5.7 and removed in 8.0 it's been removed. That paragraph now reads as:

Provides the server as a separate program for use in a client/server networked environment.
