Hi Marten,
Hello,
4.1 offers some interesting new features like more secure passwords and subqueries. However, this release is still labeled "a-gamma"; on the other hand it shall be used for future development. What's that "a" for (usually for alpha) if it's also stated "gamma"? Is gamme the last step until the 4.1.4 will be released? Or will rc's follow before? Is it possible to use 4.1.4a-gamma in production or is it too buggy yet?
I use 4.1.4 in a production environment, and I guess many of us also do so. You might decide to wait for a "final" release, but even GA versions of MySQL have bugs. Actually all versions have bugs - you might run into them or might not. The "core" is usually very stable.
Considering the quality of MySQL, I think in most scenarios you can use it when it reaches beta stage.
