Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5.37-25.10 is now available_MySQL

Percona is glad to announce the release ofPercona XtraDB Cluster5.5.37-25.10 on May 8, 2014. Binaries are available from thedownloads areaor from oursoftware repositories.

Based onPercona Server 5.5.37-35.0including all the bug fixes in it, Galera Replicator 2.10 (including fixes in2.9and2.10milestones) and on wsrep API 25.10 (including fixes in 25.10),Percona XtraDB Cluster5.5.37-25.10is now the current stable release. All of Percona‘s software is open-source and free.

New Features:

• Percona XtraDB Clusternow supports stream compression/decompression with new xtrabackup-sstcompressor/decompressoroptions.
• Garbdinit script and configuration files have been packaged forCentOSandDebian, in addition, inDebiangarbdis packaged separately inpercona-xtradb-cluster-garbd-2.xpackage.
• New meta packages are now available in order to make thePercona XtraDB Clusterinstallationeasier.
• Debian/Ubuntudebug packages are now available for Galera and garbd.
• New SST options have been implemented:inno-backup-opts, inno-apply-opts, inno-move-optswhich pass options to backup, apply and move stages ofinnobackupex.
• Initial configurable timeout, of 100 seconds, to receive a first packet via SST has been implemented, so that if donor dies somewhere in between, joiner doesn’t hang. Timeout can be configured with thesst-initial-timeoutvariable.
• The joiner would wait and not fall back to choosing other potential donor nodes (not listed inwsrep_sst_donor) by their state. This happened even when comma was added at the end. This fixes it for that particular case.
• Support for Query Cache has been implemented.
• Percona XtraDB Cluster packages are now available for Ubuntu 14.04.

Bugs Fixed:

• To avoid disabling Parallel Apply in case ofSAVEPOINTorROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINTthewsrep_cert_deps_distancewas set to1.0at all times. Bug fixed#1277703.
• First connection would hang after changing thewsrep_cluster_addressvariable. Bug fixed#1022250.
• Whengmcast.listen_addrvariable was set manually it did not allow node’s own address ingcommaddress list. Bug fixed#1099478.
• wsrep_sst_rsyncwould silently fail on joiner whenrsyncserver port was already taken. Bug fixed#1099783.
• Server would segfault onINSERT DELAYEDwithwsrep_replicate_myisamset todue to unchecked dereference ofNULLpointer. Bug fixed#1165958.
• Whengrastate.datfile was not getting zeroed appropriately it would lead to RBR error during the IST. Bug fixed#1180791.
• Due to theProvides:line inPercona XtraDB Cluster(which providesPercona-Server-server), the commandyum install Percona-Server-serverwould installPercona XtraDB Clusterinstead of the expectedPercona Server. Bug fixed#1201499.
• Replication of partition tables without binlogging enabled failed, partition truncation didn’t work because of lack of TO isolation there. Bug fixed#1219605.
• Exception during group merge after partitioning event has been fixed. Bug fixed#1232747.
• Default value forbinlog_formatis nowROW. This is done so thatPercona XtraDB Clusteris not started with wrong defaults leading to non-deterministic outcomes like crash. Bug fixed#1243228.
• CREATE TABLE AS SELECTwas not replicated, if the select result set was empty. Bug fixed#1246921.
• INSERTwould return deadlock instead of duplicate key on secondary unique key collision. Bug fixed#1255147.
• Joiner node would not initialize storage engines ifrsyncwas used for SST and the first view was non-primary. Bug fixed#1257341.
• Table level lock conflict resolving was releasing the wrong lock. Bug fixed#1257678.
• Resolved the perl dependencies needed forPercona XtraDB Cluster5.5. Bug fixed#1258563.
• Obsolete dependencies have been removed fromPercona XtraDB Cluster. Bug fixed#1259256.
• GCache file allocation could fail if file size was a multiple of page size. Bug fixed#1259952.
• Percona XtraDB Clusterdidn’t validate the parameters ofwsrep_provider_optionswhen starting it up. Bug fixed#1260193.
• Runtime checks have been added for dynamic variables which are Galera incompatible. Bug fixed#1262188.
• Node would get stuck and required restart if DDL was performed afterFLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. Bug fixed#1265656.
• xtrabackup-v2is now used as default SST method inwsrep_sst_method. Bug fixed#1268837.
• FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCKbehavior on the same connection was changed to conform toMySQLbehavior. Bug fixed#1269085.
• Read-only detection has been added inclustercheck, which can be helpful during major upgrades (this is used byxinetdforHAProxyetc.) Bug fixed#1269469.
• Binary log directory is now being cleanup as part of the XtraBackup SST. Bug fixed#1273368.
• Deadlock would happen whenNULLunique key was inserted. Workaround has been implemented to supportNULLkeys, by using themd5sum of full row as key value. Bug fixed#1276424.
