MySQL 5.6.21 Overview and Highlights

MySQL 5.6.21 was recently released (it is the latest MySQL 5.6, is GA), and is available for download here.

For this release, there was 1 “InnoDB Notes” and 1 “Functionality Added or Changed” bug fix (and 0 “Security Fix”), so not much there, but of course they should be noted:

  1. InnoDB Note: The –skip-innodb option is now deprecated and its use results in a warning. It will be removed in a future MySQL release. This also applies to its synonyms (–innodb=OFF, –disable-innodb, and so forth).
  2. Functionality Added: Internally, spatial data types such as Geometry are represented as BLOB values, so when invoked with the –hex-blob option, mysqldump now displays spatial values in hex. (Bug #43544, Bug …

MySQL 5.6.20 Overview and Highlights

MySQL 5.6.20 was recently released (it is the latest MySQL 5.6, is GA), and is available for download here.

For this release, there is 1 “Security Fix”, 1 “InnoDB Important Change”, and 7 “Functionality Added or Changed” fixes, all of which should be read in case they might affect you (though for this release, these mostly appear to be minor – some [default] changes, build notes/changes, and deprecations):

  1. Security Fix: The linked OpenSSL library for the MySQL 5.6 Commercial Server has been updated from version 1.0.1g to version 1.0.1h. Versions of OpenSSL prior to and including 1.0.1g are reported to be vulnerable to CVE-2014-0224. This change does not affect the Oracle-produced MySQL Community build of MySQL …

MySQL 5.6.19 Overview and Highlights

MySQL 5.6.19 was recently released (it is the latest MySQL 5.6, is GA), and is available for download here.

I should actually call this post “5.6.18 and 5.6.19 Overview and Highlights”.

The 5.6 “Release Notes” Index provides an entry/changelog for 5.6.18 and says it was released 2014-04-11. However, it’s not available in the community download archives. This isn’t mentioned in the 5.6.18 changelogs, but it is in the 5.6.19 changelogs, where it says:

“There is no MySQL …

MySQL 5.6.17 Overview and Highlights

MySQL 5.6.17 was recently released (it is the latest MySQL 5.6, is GA), and is available for download here:

For this release, I counted 7 “Functionality Added” and/or “Incompatible Change” fixes:

  1. Incompatible Change: The AES_ENCRYPT() and AES_DECRYPT() functions now permit control of the block encryption mode and take an optional initialization vector argument.
  2. Incompatible Change: The ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO, NO_ZERO_DATE, and NO_ZERO_IN_DATE SQL modes now are deprecated and setting the sql_mode value to include any of them generates a warning. In MySQL 5.7, these modes do nothing. Instead, their effects are included in the effects of strict SQL mode (STRICT_ALL_TABLES or …

Bugs Page for MySQL and Friends

After completing my recent ‘downloads‘ page (similar to my ‘changelogs‘, ‘documentation‘, and ‘server variables‘ pages), it occurred to me that I should add a ‘bugs‘ page as well.

So, I’ve added a bug page, which has links to the main bug listing/reporting pages for MySQL, MariaDB (Aria), Drizzle, Percona Server (XtraDB), Xtrabackup, Sphinx, MONyog, and SQLyog (thus far).

Bug Page:

Hope this helps.
