The embedded MySQL binaries have been updated to MySQL 5.1.40 for GPL releases and MySQL 5.1.40 for Commercial releases.

The contents of the directory used for bootstrapping the MySQL databases is now configurable by using the windows-share-dir-jar property. You should supply the name of a jar containing the files you want to use.

The embedded Aspect/J class has been removed.

The default timeout for the kill delay within the embedded test suite has been increased from 10 to 30 seconds.
