MySQL-wsrep 5.5.45-25.12 Release Notes

Codership is pleased to announce a new release of Galera Cluster for MySQL consisting of MySQL-wsrep 5.5.45 and Galera 3.12, wsrep API version 25.

This release incorporates all changes up to MySQL 5.5.45.

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

• The xtrabackup SST script has been updated from the upstream source (codership/mysql-wsrep#143)

• Security: The key length for creating Diffie-Hellman keys has been increased from 512 to 2,048 bits
