Changes in MySQL 5.5.62

Functionality Added or Changed

* Previously, file I/O performed in the I/O cache in the mysys library was not \ 
instrumented, affecting in particular file I/O statistics reported by the \ 
Performance Schema about the binary log index file. Now, this I/O is \ 
instrumented and Performance Schema statistics are accurate. Thanks to Yura \ 
Sorokin for the contribution.

* The zlib library version bundled with MySQL was raised from version 1.2.3 to \ 
version 1.2.11. MySQL implements compression with the help of the zlib library.

* The zlib compressBound() function in zlib 1.2.11 returns a slightly higher \ 
estimate of the buffer size required to compress a given length of bytes than it \ 
did in zlib version 1.2.3. The compressBound() function is called by InnoDB \ 
functions that determine the maximum row size permitted when creating compressed \ 
InnoDB tables or inserting rows into compressed InnoDB tables. As a result, \ 
CREATE TABLE ... ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED or INSERT operations with row sizes very \ 
close to the maximum row size that were successful in earlier releases could now \ 
fail.

Bugs Fixed

* MySQL Server and test RPM packages were missing perl-Data-Dumper as a dependency.

* For the mysql client, the -b short option was associated with two long \ 
options, --no-beep and --binary-as-hex. The -b option now is associated only \ 
with --no-beep.

* During server startup/shutdown, PID files could be mishandled.

* For MEMORY tables, memory overflow errors could occur.

* When converting from a BLOB (or TEXT) type to a smaller BLOB (or TEXT) type, \ 
no warning or error was reported informing about the truncation or data loss. \ 
Now an appropriate error is issued in strict SQL mode and a warning in nonstrict \ 
SQL mode.

* ALTER TABLE ... REORGANIZE PARTITION ... could result in incorrect behavior if \ 
any partition other than the last was missing the VALUES LESS THAN part of the \ 
syntax.
