Notable Items

Storage Engines

InnoDB

• Fix possible InnoDB hang while running out of buffer pool (MDEV-35409)

• Fix assertion failure on cascading foreign key update of table with vcol index in parent (MDEV-29182)

• Fix potential issue in secondary Index with ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED and Change buffering enabled (MDEV-35679)

• Fix issue where ON UPDATE SET NULL could not be specified on a NOT NULL column (MDEV-35445)

• New parameter --skip-freed-pages for Innochecksum. Use this parameter to not get freed undo logs reported as existing undo log pages. (MDEV-35394)

• Cloning of table statistics while saving the InnoDB table stats is now avoided (MDEV-35363)

• InnoDB deadlock output query length increased to improve visibility of deadlocked statements. (MDEV-32576)

Memory

• Fix possible crash on DELETE from a HEAP table (MDEV-22695)

Spider

• Fix possible Spider thread hang in 'Update' state on 2nd INSERT (MDEV-35064)

• Fix possible crash on bootup in spider_sys_open_table (MDEV-32822, MDEV-34302, MDEV-34925)

Replication

• Fix incorrect formatting of timestamp during mariadb-binlog parsing of a binary log, causing point in time recovery discrepancies (MDEV-31761)

• mariadb-binlog can now correctly process more than one logfile when --stop-datetime is specified (MDEV-35528)

• Setting pseudo_thread_id to a value exceeding 4 bytes previously resulted in truncation when written to the binary log (MDEV-35646)

• MariaDB now supports MySQL 8.0 binlog events, including PARTIAL_UPDATE_ROWS_EVENT, TRANSACTION_PAYLOAD_EVENT, and HEARTBEAT_LOG_EVENT_V2. (MDEV-35643)

Optimizer

• Fix failing assertion causing disruption and replication failure (MDEV-24035)

• Conditions with SP local variables are now pushed into derived table. Previous behaviour caused slow performance and table scans instead of using the pushed down condition (MDEV-35910)

• EXCHANGE PARTITION now works for tables with unique blobs (MDEV-35612)

• algorithm = instant can now correctly be used if a table has partitions and one tries to change a column with an index which is not the partitions key. This previously gave error "ERROR 1846 (0A000): ALGORITHM=INSTANT is not supported. Reason: ADD INDEX. Try ALGORITHM=NOCOPY". (MDEV-34813)

Character Sets

• Fix assertion falilure and possible index corruption with unique key and nopad collation without DESC or HASH keys (MDEV-30111)

Galera

• Galera updated to 26.4.21

  • NOTE: Includes increasing the GCS protocol version, which prevents downgrades of individual nodes in the cluster as soon as all nodes have been updated

• Fix streaming replication transaction crash with innodb_snapshot_isolation (MDEV-35281)

• Fix sporadic failure of async replication on Galera async replica nodes with parallel replication enabled (MDEV-35465)

• Fix possible failure of wsrep_sst_rsync SST script if user specified aria_log_dir_path different from default data directory (MDEV-35387)

• Fix cluster node hang during shutdown if threadpool is used (MDEV-35710)

• MariaDB Cluster and ALTER INPLACE running in Total Order Isolation (wsrep_OSU_method=TOI) now correctly abort a DML INSERT operation in InnoDB (MDEV-33064)

• Undefined behavior could occur when attempting to perform INSERT DELAYED on a Galera cluster node. (MDEV-35852)

• Fix issue where DROP TABLE on child and UPDATE of parent table can cause a metadata lock BF-BF conflict when applied concurrently. (MDEV-35018)

• Galera protocol versions are now shown by show status - change available with installation of galera library 26.4.21+ (MDEV-35505)

• Fix possible crash in wsrep_sst_mariadb-backup script when upgrading node in cluster from 10.11.9 to 10.11.10. (MDEV-35526)

• wsrep_sst_mariadb-backup.sh no longer uses --use-memory default (100MB) resulting in prepare stage which could take hours (MDEV-35749)

Audit Plugin

• For an authentication with the ed25519 authentication plugin the password of the CREATE USER statement is now masked in the audit log (MDEV-35507)

• MariaDB Audit now detects all DCLs forms for masking a password (MDEV-35522)

General

Only the first row of the bulk insert would be added to the table (MDEV-34958)

• Fix incorrect locking order of LOCK_log/LOCK_commit_ordered and LOCK_global_system_variables (MDEV-29744)

• Fix rare cases where binlog entries could receive incorrect timestamps on secondary nodes of a Galera cluster, potentially impacting replication accuracy (MDEV-35157)
