During the last weeks, MySQL suffered from many vulnerabilities (see DSA-2429-1 and DSA-2496-1). Due to the non-disclosure of security patch information from Oracle, the Debian security team is now forced to ship upstreams version update of MySQL 5.1 (5.1.63 as of this writing). Then it makes no sense for Dotdeb to duplicate this effort and to maintain the same versions of MySQL 5.1 for Squeeze with the same features and level of optimization. As a consequence the MySQL 5.1 packages has been removed from the Dotdeb repository (you’ll find archived versions here). ...

A variety of bugfixes in pretty much every tool because of an expanded test coverage : more MySQL versions, more operating system platforms, more types of MySQL server settings, and more versions of Perl. Baron Schwartz also wrote a blog post about it. ...
