Changes 5.6.19:
Functionality Added or Changed
The obsolete and unmaintained charset2html utility has been removed from MySQL \
distributions.
The mysqlbug, mysql_waitpid, and mysql_zap utilities have been deprecated and \
will be removed in MySQL 5.7.
Bugs Fixed
InnoDB: After upgrading from 5.6.10 to MySQL versions up to and including MySQL \
5.6.18, InnoDB would attempt to rename obsolete full-text search auxiliary \
tables on server startup, resulting in an assertion failure.
InnoDB: For each insert, memset would be called three times to allocate memory \
for system fields. To reduce CPU usage, the three memset calls are now combined \
into a single call.
InnoDB: Enabling the InnoDB Table Monitor would result in a \
ib_table->stat_initialized assertion failure.
InnoDB: Setting innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=0 would leave 1% of dirty pages \
unflushed. Buffer pool flushing is initiated when the percentage of dirty pages \
is greater innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct. The internal variables that store the \
innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct value and the percentage of dirty pages \
(buf_get_modified_ratio_pct and srv_max_buf_pool_modified_pct) were defined as \
unsigned integer data types, which meant that a innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct value \
of 0 required a dirty pages percentage of 1 or greater to initiate buffer pool \
flushing.
To address this problem, the buf_get_modified_ratio_pct and \
srv_max_buf_pool_modified_pct internal variables are redefined as double data \
types, which changes the range value for innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct and \
innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm from 0 .. 99 to 0 .. 99.99. Additionally, buffer \
pool flushing is now initiated when the percentage of dirty pages is \
âgreater than or equal toâ innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct.
Replication: Log rotation events could cause group_relay_log_pos to be moved \
forward incorrectly within a group. This meant that, when the transaction was \
retried, or if the SQL thread was stopped in the middle of a transaction \
following one or more log rotations (such that the transaction or group spanned \
multiple relay log files), part or all of the group was silently skipped.
This issue has been addressed by correcting a problem in the logic used to avoid \
touching the coordinates of the SQL thread when updating the log position as \
part of a relay log rotation whereby it was possible to update the SQL thread's \
coordinates when not using a multi-threaded slave, even in the middle of a \
group.
Replication: When running the server with --gtid-mode=ON, STOP SLAVE followed by \
START SLAVE resulted in a mismatch between the information provided by \
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO and the Slave_open_temp_tables status \
variable: the INNODB_TEMP_TABLE_INFO table showed that no temporary tables \
existed, but Slave_open_temp_tables had a nonzero value.
Replication: In certain cases, the server mishandled triggers and stored \
procedures that tried to modify other tables when called by CREATE TABLE ... \
SELECT. This is now handled correctly as an error.
Replication: When used on a table employing a transactional storage engine, a \
failed TRUNCATE TABLE was still written to the binary log and thus replayed on \
the slave. This could lead to inconsistency when the master retained data that \
was removed on the slave.
Now in such cases TRUNCATE TABLE is logged only when it executes successfully.
Replication: The server did not always handle the auto.cnf file correctly in \
cases where this file's permissions were incorrect.
Replication: When the binary log was rotated due to receipt of a SIGHUP signal, \
the new binary log did not contain the Previous_gtid_event required for \
subsequent processing of that binary log's GTID events. Now when SIGHUP is \
received, steps are taken to insure that the server writes the necessary \
Previous_gtid_event to the new log before writing any GTID events to the new \
log.
