Notes about this release

  • MariaDB Galera Cluster 5.5.38 includes MariaDB 5.5.38 with Codership additions (lp:codership-mysql/5.5 till revision 3997) and Galera 25.3.5.
  • This version of MariaDB Galera Cluster supports wsrep API v25 which means MariaDB Galera Cluster can be used with either a 25.2.x or 25.3.x Galera wsrep provider. A 25.3.x wsrep provider is included in the MariaDB repositories and both 25.3.x and 25.2.x wsrep providers are available on the downloads page.
  • wsrep_sst_rsync (sst script) in MariaDB Galera Cluster 5.5.38 uses lsof which might not be installed by default on some linux distributions. It has to be installed if the wsrep_sst_method is set to rsync (default). Package managers should be able to automatically resolve this dependency (MDEV-6264).
  • Galera rpm packages had a file conflicting with Filesystem package (MDEV-4218), which caused installation to fail. Fixed Galera packages are now available for the following flavors : Fedora 19, Fedora 20 and CentOS 6.

See the MariaDB 5.5.38 Release Notes and Changelog for more information on the changes in MariaDB.

Note: If Galera 25.2.x and 25.3.x are both being used in the cluster, MariaDB with Galera 25.3.x must be started with wsrep_provider_options='socket.checksum=1' in order to make it backward compatible with Galera v2. Galera wsrep providers other than 25.3.x or 25.2.x are not supported.
