Most of them were the types of changes you're already aware of
(joining clause changes and the timestamp format changes).

One interesting change was that we replace the old way of auto
generating a hostname, by guessing the next insert id (which required
a change for mysql5 anyway), with a call to the mysql UUID() function.
 Then after insert we update the hostname to the old format.  This
avoids potential problems with replicated mysql and overlapping
inserts.

Lots of other changes that I don't have time to document right now,
but those are the mysql 5 specific ones that I recall.
