MySQL Protocol Docs update

Now that forge.mysql.com is shutdown the protocol documentation found a new/old home at:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/internals/en/client-server-protocol.html

It documents the early days of MySQL 3.20 as seen in:

• Protocol V9 (used by MySQL 3.20 and later)

up to the features added MySQL 5.6.x:

• COM_BINLOG_DUMP_GTID
• SHA256 auth

For the old versions it was somewhat interesting to find sources and binaries to test against as the MySQL launchpad repository only goes back until 3.23.22-beta which was 2000-07-31. I could find sources dating back to mysql-3.20.32a (1997-10-27) which is the base-version for the protocol docs.

Now you know why I blogged about CLIENT_LONG_PASSWORD

Enjoy the internals of the current MySQL Protocol docs.
