[Koha] 2.2.8 & mysql-5

I don't see anything about mysql-5 in the release notes for 2.2.8. Are known problems with mysql-5 fixed in the 2.2.8 release? What's the current status? There was talk on the list a couple weeks ago that 2.2.8 may fix these problems, but I'm looking for some confirmation that the fixes made it into 2.2.8 before proceeding with an upgrade from 2.2.7. I had to install Etch on this machine and currently use apt-pinning to keep mysql-4.1. --Jason
