I was browsing the MySQL 5.1 documentation and noticed this statement on the main page:

Due to a build slippage, binary distributions of MySQL 5.1.12 contained neither NDB Cluster nor Partitioning. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please upgrade to 5.1.14. if you build from source, you can execute configure with the --with-ndbcluster and --with-partition options.

Can some one please explain the phrase “build slippage” to me? I’ll have to ask my QA friends if that’s an industry-specific phrase. And, oh, hey, who missed fixing that in 5.1.13? Or maybe there isn’t a 5.1.13?

It’s ok, MySQL, I’m still a fan and, hey, at least it’s not your GA release. I just want to make sure the main real reason to upgrade to 5.1 (partitioning) is in my binary
