Percona is glad to announce the release of Percona Server 5.1.71-14.9 on August 27th, 2013 (Downloads are available here and from the Percona Software Repositories). Based on MySQL 5.1.71, including all the bug fixes in it, Percona Server 5.1.71-14.9 is now the current stable release in the 5.1 series. All of Percona‘s software is open-source and free, all the details of the release can be found in the 5.1.71-14.9 milestone at Launchpad.

Bugs Fixed:

• The buffer pool mutex split patch implemented in Percona Server could cause a race condition, involving a dirty compressed page block for which there is an uncompressed page image in the buffer pool, that could lead to a server crash. Bug fixed #1086680.
• The buffer pool mutex split patch implemented in Percona Server could cause server crash with an assertion error on read-write workloads with compressed tables in debug builds. Bug fixed #1103850.
• If binary log was enabled, Fake Changes transactions were binlogged. This could lead to data corruption issues with deeper replication topologies. Bug fixed #1190580.
• Changes made to the RPM scripts for previous Percona Server version caused installer to fail if there were different datadir options in multiple configuration files. Bug fixed #1201036.
• Percona Server used to acquire the buffer pool LRU list mutex in the I/O completion routine, for the compressed page flush list flushes where it was not necessary. Bug fixed #1181269.

Other bug fixes: bug fixed #1188162 and bug fixed #1203308.
