MySQL-wsrep 5.6.34-25.18 Release Notes

Codership is pleased to announce a new release of Galera Cluster for MySQL consisting of MySQL-wsrep 5.6.34 and Galera 3.19, wsrep API version 25.

This release incorporates all changes up to MySQL 5.6.34.

Galera Cluster is now available as targeted packages and package repositories for a number of Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE 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 http://www.galeracluster.com. The source repositories and bug tracking are now on http://www.github.com/codership .

Notable bug fixes in MySQL-wsrep:

• The ALTER USER statement is now replicated correctly (MW-305, codership/mysql-wsrep#292, lp1376269)

• The wsrep_max_ws_rows could cause SELECT queries that use temporary tables to return an error (MW-309, lp1638138)

New features, notable changes and bug fixes in Oracle MySQL 5.6.34:

• Incompatible change: The behavior of the --secure_file_priv option has changed and additional checks are performed on the value at server startup. The default value on most platforms has been changed to /var/lib/mysql-files. That directory is created at package installation time.

• The yaSSL library has been upgraded to 2.4.2.

Known issues with this release:

• If using the Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial package, the server can not be bootstrapped using systemd. Please use the SysV init script with the 'bootstap' option to bootstrap the node. Note that a server that has been started that way can not be controlled via systemd and must be stopped using the SysV script. Normal server startup and shutdown is possible via systemd.
