UDF collection for MySQL

The UDF collection for MySQL project is an essential tool that contains helpful utility User-Defined Functions (UDFs) for use as shared objects. The package includes three primary functions, namely HUMANAGE(), URLENCODE(), and URLDECODE(). The HUMANAGE() function allows users to compute their age in years concerning a custom date or the current date. Meanwhile, URLENCODE() and URLDECODE() functions offer a straightforward way to encode and decode URLs, respectively.

To install the UDF collection for MySQL package, users can follow the steps below. First, navigate to the directory that hosts the package's source code, and run the `./configure' command to adjust the setup for the user's system. If using `csh' on an old version of System V, the user should type `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from attempting to execute `configure' itself. Following this, the configuration process might take a while to complete, and users will receive messages about the features the installer is looking for.

The next step is to run the `make' command to compile the package. Those who wish to run self-tests on the package can run `make check' optionally. Users should run `make install' to install the package, including data files and documentation. After installation, users can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean.'

It is essential to note that users can compile the package for a different type of computer by running `make distclean' to remove any files created by `configure.' If users intend to use the `make maintainer-clean' target, it is mainly directed at developers to regenerate other files that came with the distribution.

The latest release of the UDF collection for MySQL package includes a fix of a bug in HUMANAGE() regarding a last adjustment of mon/mday in sll2tm(). Another bug in which day() only looped over the first year has also been fixed.
