Issues Fixed

Can result in a hang or crash

  • When Binlog Router (binlogrouter) is used, a race condition can cause MaxScale to crash. (MXS-4138)

  • If the MaxScale node is disconnected from the Redis server when the Cache Filter (cache) is used, established connections can hang after executing a query that requires MaxScale to access the cache. (MXS-4105)

  • When the connection_keepalive parameter is 0, a memory leak can cause MaxScale to crash. (MXS-4100)
