This is the Reference Manual for the MySQL Database System, version
5.1, through release 5.1.47. For license
information, see the legal
notice. Differences between minor versions of MySQL
5.1 are noted in the present text with reference to
release numbers (5.1.x).
This manual is not intended for use with older versions of the MySQL software due to the many functional and other differences between MySQL 5.1 and previous versions. If you are using an earlier release of the MySQL software, please refer to the appropriate manual. For example, MySQL 5.0 Reference Manual, covers the 5.0 series of MySQL software releases.
If you are using MySQL 5.4, please refer to the MySQL 5.4 Reference Manual.

User Comments
Noticed that YaSSL is not mentioned on this page.
Btw, is this supposed to be a definitive list of 3rd party modules used in MySQL or only mentioning those that need to be mentioned to satisfy license requirements?
