+
+Features recoded
+- Better error messages
+- Added support of timestamps to ha_write and ha_update.
+
+Fetures half done:
+- Support for TRANSACTION READ ONLY | READ WRITE
+- CF_XXX states added to init_update_queries() but not otherwise used.
+
+Short time TODO:
+- Add support for TRANSACTION READ ONLY | READ WRITE in sql_yacc.yy
+  (support for variable tx_read_only)
+
+- merge hostname.cc / hostname.h
+- add support for host_error()
