Galera 25.3.34 Release Notes

Changes in Galera 3.34 (2021-07-26)

Codership is pleased to announce the release of Galera Replication library 3.34, implementing wsrep API version 25.

The library is available as targeted packages and package repositories for a number of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL and SLES. Obtaining packages using a package repository removes the need to download individual files and facilitates the deployment and upgrade of Galera nodes.

This and future releases will be available from https://www.galeracluster.com.

The latest version of Galera for FreeBSD will be available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

Notable changes and fixes in Galera since latest release 3.33.

  • IST failure handling was improved to allow resuming IST after process restart.

  • A new status variable wsrep_apply_waits was introduced to count the number of times an applier thread had to wait for its turn to apply a write set.

  • An issue of having incorrect certification results right after SST was fixed.

  • Occasional excessive GCache CPU consumption during IST was fixed.

  • GCS flow control now allows write set replication more reliably when the node is in Donor state.

  • Gcache recovery reliability was improved.

Build fixes:

  • CRC32C detection was improved to work correctly with GCC 4.8.

  • CK_TIMEOUT_MULTIPLER was restored in Debian build scripts to reduce unit test timeouts during builds (codership/galera#558).

End of life notices:

  • Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) has reached the end of the regular maintenance period. Therefore we plan to discontinue providing Galera packages for Ubuntu 16.04 after this release.

  • Due to little usage pattern we plan to discontinue building Galera 3 packages for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 after this release.

The users still running above discontinued platforms are adviced to use the binary tarball package.

Known Issues:

  • In order to install Galera package on CentOS 8 or RHEL 8, MySQL and MariaDB modules need to be disabled first with dnf -y module disable mysql mariadb.
