Notable Changes

• Galera wsrep library updated to 26.4.6 in MariaDB Enterprise Cluster.

• In alignment with the MariaDB Engineering Policy, this release does not include CentOS 6.x and RHEL 6.x packages.

• The audit plugin (not MariaDB Enterprise Audit) did not log proxy users. The new plugin version 2.0.3 introduces an event sub-type PROXY_CONNECT for event type CONNECT. (MDEV-19443)

  • On connect, if a proxy user is used, an extra line will be logged: TIME,HOSTNAME,user,localhost,ID,0,PROXY_CONNECT,test,plug_dest@%,0

• Better MariaDB GTID support for the mariadb-backup --slave-info option. (MDEV-19264)

• New global InnoDB variable innodb_max_purge_lag_wait (MDEV-16952)

• The new parameter --include-unsupported for the script mariadb_es_repo_setup can be used to enable a repository of unsupported packages in the repository configuration. The repository currently includes the CONNECT Storage Engine. The storage engine can be installed by yum install MariaDB-connect-engine or apt-get install mariadb-plugin-connect-engine (MENT-1003)

• Back port of a MariaDB Server 10.5 feature to not acquire InnoDB record locks when covering table locks exist. (MENT-403)

• Change innodb_log_optimize_ddl=OFF by default. (MDEV-23720)

MariaDB Enterprise Audit did not log proxy users. The new plugin version 2.0.3 introduces an event sub-type PROXY_CONNECT for event type CONNECT. (MENT-977)

• On connect, if a proxy user is used, an extra line will be logged: TIME,HOSTNAME,user,localhost,ID,0,PROXY_CONNECT,test,plug_dest@%,0
