[wp-hackers] MySQL Version Bump

[Michael E. Hancock]

From: "Ryan Boren" <ryan at boren.nu>
> After much discussion on this list and with various hosts, I think this is

So tentatively, the Codex Server Requirements will read:

WordPress server requirements for versions prior to 2.0:
* PHP version 4.1 or greater
* MySQL version 3.23.23 or greater

WordPress server requirements for version 2.0:
* PHP version 4.2 or greater
* MySQL version 3.23.23 or greater
* (Optional) Apache mod_rewrite module (for clean URIs known as Permalinks)

WordPress server requirements for version 2.1:
* PHP version 4.2 or greater
* MySQL version 4.1 or greater
* (Optional) Apache mod_rewrite module (for clean URIs known as Permalinks)

WordPress server requirements for version 2.2 (not yet released) and later:
* PHP version 4.2 or greater
* MySQL version 4.2 or greater
* (Optional) Apache mod_rewrite module (for clean URIs known as Permalinks)

Any other adjustments necessary?
