microslow patch, now with fractional seconds

Thanks to everybody who responded to microslow patch – backwards compatibility. After some more poking around in the code, I’ve managed to resolve the issue and it now both eats and displays fractional seconds. That means that on input it’s now backwards compatible with a stock MySQL build. And it can now also accept say 0.05 (for 50 milliseconds, if I have my zeros right 😉

You can find the branch containing the new patch here.

The full updated functionality is documented at http://ourdelta.org/docs/microslow and will be included in the next upcoming OurDelta build (d7), so that we may forget about the d6 build which as we know had quirks in various patches that broke backward compatibility, introduced new reserved words, and such. Anyway, still wasn’t too bad for a first public build; but I reckon it’s well worth the effort fixing it all up before the next build!
