Bug #54126	MySQL Cluster on Windows is no longer 'alpha' but rather production/GA
Submitted:	1 Jun 2010 6:31	Modified:	1 Jul 2010 13:28
Reporter:	Mario Beck	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Documentation	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	NDB-7.1.3+	OS:	Windows
Assigned to:	Jon Stephens	CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	cluster, Docs, support, windows

Description:
The reference manual states that cluster support on windows is only experimental.
This is no longer true. There is full production support available now.

How to repeat:
See last paragraph on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-cluster-multi-install.html 
and compare to bottom of table on http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/cluster.html

Suggested fix:
Remove "alfa" and replace "experimental" with "full production" in the reference manual.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

BUG#54264, BUG#54293, BUG#54295, BUG#54296, and BUG#54383 are duplicates of this bug.

Fix in progress. I've already replaced the offending terms where applicable (referencing NDB-7.1.3+). Commit is here: http://lists.mysql.com/commits/110735

Note that we do *not* say "full production" or otherwise qualify the term "production [use|setting|environment|etc]" in MySQL documentation -- a product release is either "production" grade (or "GA") or it is not, period.

Working with Jack A. on adding/updating key installation/configuration info specific to Windows -- ETA on this is today or tomorrow.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant products.
